I couldn't agree more with Stephan, but I also think there was a tone set early on that we're all hear to learn from and help one another. Then people who visited liked the atmosphere and stayed. It could have gone either way, but luckily an atmosphere of mutual respect has prevailed... that, and the moderator's ability to modify the rare post that seems a little "hot" has helped. One more acknowledgement has to go out to Boots for making such a user-friendly forum. If it wasn't such a simple forum, people would get frustrated, and things would break down.

I love that there is no flaming and that we all seem to respect each others' beliefs without scorn. James is an excellent moderator, making sure everything stays warm and friendly. I'd want to hang out here even if I didn't have snakes. :-)

I don't even HAVE a snake yet, but I will be getting one... and I agree, Thamnophis is an awesome site! everything is flawless... I came here looking for information about Garters, as I will be getting one soon, and I have all I need now... but Thamnophis feels like home! It makes me feel like I'm NOT a freak for loving snakes!! Whenever I try to talk about different snakes with my friends, well.. you can guess their reaction.. but here, it's normal! I feel welcome, I feel liked and wanted, and I feel normal. THAMNOPHIS ROCKS!!!

I'm delighted you feel that way, because you are welcome here. We're all watching for the post where you tell us you have your snake! Then we'll want photos.

[Stefan-A]

Actually, photos better appear simultaneously.

Remember when we had that chat about superheroes? Does superego count as a power?

[adamanteus]

No, ego shouldn't come into that equation.... but I thought I might just re-quote this earlier post.
