[QUOTE="Djeta Thernadier, post: 1093211, member: 12043"] What ENWorld Means To Me... I'm a lot newer to the boards and to gaming than perhaps many of you. So this is a good place for me to come and learn and ask questions. And kill time at work... But beyond that, it's a community. I , too, feel sad when I read about memebers illnesses and losses. I feel joy when I hear about their good fortune and new babies and pets. I feel that it is a place where I can share these things in my own life with people who will accept me for who I am, and what I do. I feel it is a place to not only be serious, but also to kid around with people who enjoy the same hobbies as I do. I never will fully understand the people who get mad about OT posts and only want to focus on being serious all the time. I like to hear about my friends' lives. I want to hear about my friends' problems (and offer my best help or condolences). ENWorld is a place where someone like me, who really doesn't fit in with the vast majority of people they meet in their day to day life can escape and be with people they share at least a couple of things in common with. When I'm feeling down, as I was the other night, sometimes all it takes is a joke or a kind word from another ENWorld member to make me feel better about myself (Thank you ArthurQ and the ENWorld Gallery thread...you have no idea how much that just made me feel better) or just to forget about the stresses and tribulations of everyday life (ie. threads where a poster has said something funny and had me laughing out loud). Occasionaly I read a post that makes me mad. Either someone is giving someone else a hard time , or trying to put someone else down. I shake my head at these and wish everyone could just get along. But for the most part, I'm amazed that just about everyone here respects others' differences (and bad typos :) ) I know I will continue to read and post here as long as these boards are up and running. As soon as I get my finances in better shape, I plan on becomming a supporter as well. This site is definately worth it. Because it's more than just "a site". It's like going to a friends house. Only we're all on our computers. But the feeling of belonging is the same... Thank you ENWorld. ~Sheri [/QUOTE]
