Apparently the server is backing up, so I'll be brief. My name is Adam, I found this board among the most popular Tapatalk forums. I look forward to meeting everyone.

keep up with the stories you want..... ignore the ones you don't.

I used to get involved in Middle East and Abortion stuff as well as others, but they just turn into a giant circle of back and forth same-ness... so I quit hanging out there.

And... often a thread will only go on for a good 50-60 posts before It spirals into "OBAMA DID THIS.. HE BAD" "NUH-UH ITS ALL BUSH'S FAULT" "NUH-UH" "UH-HUh" ad infinity.

Or "You liberals blah blah blah" and "You conservatives blah blah blah..."



Just my two cents on how it goes down.

Makes sense to me. I always bail after people kick in with the grade school back and forth.

Those letters and numbers are references to warnings or infractions related to posts on the thread where somebody's been a bad girl/bad boy. The number references the post number where the moderator has chimed in and the letter, like a W, signifies a warning, etc. I've personally made the mistake of entering a thread late in the game and been dinged with an infraction for saying something innocuous because there had been a warning before I got there about something. Check them out when you enter a thread to be on the safe side.

This is actually my favorite site thus far, because I see so many long, well-thought out posts on all sides of any given discussion.

Thanks for the 'warning' warning. I never would have figured that one out.

Well, I'm a total nerd/geek - and my dog is a poodle. One of my favorite movies is Braveheart.

Dunno, the pic just resonated with me. :D

I gotta admit, I didn't exactly hit the ground running here. I'm still a bit overwhelmed, there are so many new posts every day. But I think I've begun to hit my stride.
