Default I Picked the Right Forum

I have to say that at Easter time last year i certainly did pick the right forum to get envolved with.

Techwatch is certainly the most friendliest forum i have tried.

Threads are very informative and 99.9% of the time stay on topic.

No threads turn into flame wars on who is right and who is wrong. If people state there opinion, they start with 'this is just my opinion....'

Mainly, we understand the people new to tech-hobbies such as ours often find understanding it at first in overwhelming. Actually, using a forum correctly was something I, for one had never attempted before.

If we continue to help in the way that we do, and to spread the knowlege our forum will thrive.

Thanks for the feedback G77, its nice to know that the forum is enjoyed.

We do get flaming and primadonna posts but we try to jump on them as quickly as possible to keep it nice. Always a thin line between under and over-reaction but we try to get it right.

Smile Re: I Picked the Right Forum

I must agree with all comments above , I got my first ever eurovox a year ago , Jumped onto this forum like thousands of others when the boxes went down with the intension of getting what i needed then legging it ( Leach ). I was welcomed into the community with open arms and with alittle help i progressed into modding boxes and cards myself. With all this new knowledge in my head i was then able to return the favour and help others and made some good cyber friends along the way.

Thanks to all at Techwatch for all there support , Long live the greatest Forum in my opinion

khama.

they say you have to give it away to keep it.

helping someone else out has its own rewards. even if the person doesnt thank you.

the best one is when you help someone out and they dont even know it.

Have to agree there mate, I too felt like I'd lost part of me while the forum went down last week and the last couple of times we were hit.

Perhaps I spend a little too much time on here, but I must admit, thanks to the members and moderators, It's become one of my favourite pastimes.

Many thanks to all the members and staff at TechWatch, been an absolute pleasure so far
