Default Found friends on MLF

I could have posted this in any one of several forum sections but selected this one as appropriate. I joined MLF a few months back after a call with Clive and a recommendation to try out these forums.

Since then I have made friends with several members (I hope you don't mind me calling you friends?) I have frequented forums on and off for around ten years now; I think my highest post count was 4500 (ish) on HSFB ( I used to moderate there as well). On the IOSH forums (which is hever so formal), I have thousands of posts, both as a mod and a user.

Off and on I have used around 10-15 forums in a variety of subjects from AV to DIY.

The point of my post (I know, c'mon Mike, get to the point...rah rah) is over that ten year period occasionally something special comes along, maybe destiny or something else, but MLF stands out as head and shoulders above many business forums. Tis what I think anyway.

Just wanted to say thank you to one and all. Thas all.

Mike

Nice comments Mike, and appreciated, but a forum is only as good as its members, and we're lucky enough to have a cracking crowd here, all with a thick skin and a sense of humour.

So thankyou!

I have spoken to Steve on several occasions on how he manages to keep the forum business related but also friendly.
I too have frequented many business forums and got tired of fighting off the hounds within a couple of posts.

I have always been appalled by the attitude that people adopt towards you once you start your own business and that same attitude has leaked onto other forums.

So well done to Steve and Clive for keeping MLF light hearted, informative and on occasions a little cheeky and well done to everyone who contributes the high quality valuable content.
