My ten pence...
Negatives: Seems to be a lot of talk recently about whats wrong with the forum and not enough getting on with it. Surely forums are for debate not rules. I got pulled up the other day for posting something about a jingoistic TV presenter on the BBC in misc and meaningless the other day when I was just seeing if anyone else could believe what dire TV the BBC were broadcasting. Anyway, point is personally I used to love the photoshopping and piss taking but that seems to have had an lot of navel gazing added to it. I guess when forums are small they can be all things to all people but as they grow they get more and more marginal.
Positives: Far far outweigh the negatives but to me the main ones are there a lot of very funny people on here that share ideas and help where required and also the huge database of information everyone has built up. Personally this place has give me the confidence to take a bike apart as I know someone will always have the answer to a sensible question. Also, everyone seems pretty clued up in other areas (music, cooking, guitar making). It's all here.
