I am a newbie to D&T forum, but I don't partake in HDH. Never read the previous boards HDH forum either. One day just glanced at a topic showing on home page and started reading.

What I liked about this area is exactly what I guess scares people off. I like the sarcasm, dry humor,wit and bad puns. Back in the Rennissance, those elements were proof of intelligence and quick wit. I also like the topics and the responses. Much more thoughtful then whos got the prettiest toes, favorite lady/man, and please shower threads. :P

IMO if people take things too personally, especially from people they don't know, then they have more problems then this board.

Body language is a majority of communicating(60%) and with tone of voivce following (30%). So now all is left is 10% of communicating using words. So understanding how you select words to set tone for the readers is important. The use of emoticons and emotes (lol, rofl, etc) makes your tone come out easier.

I do realize that there are people here who have known each other for years, so of course they are going to have some inside jokes, but that does not seem to stop anyone from being open to new comers. I have always felt welcome to post here .Although they did try to loose me once when aspd closed down, and no one told me we were moving,but I figured it out
I am not that easy to get rid of

I think that the entire move was just an attempt to loose us outsiders, but we came anyway ha ha so there.
