Reasons to be cheerful!

When I first joined on May 6th this place was interesting, but very quiet, I started out on a little quest, to liven the place up by asking lots of questions and keeping threads going as a Happy Atheist Forum is a good idea. When I first joined I would be lucky to find a hand full of new posts in the morning. Today I had twenty threads that I had looked at with additional posts. I started a thread and had 6 new threads to read as well!  

I really like this place.  It's active without being overbearing, and none of the "size-matters" issues that clog many other atheist pages.  It was very easy to feel comfortable here.

Agreed. I like it because I know I'm not going to have to put up with trolls and fascistic extremist theistic or atheistic members. It's all very well being told 'don't read threads you don't like' but I want to be in a place I don't have to read a thread to find out I don't like it! I'm delighted this place keeps a good cap on acceptable manners.

I'm used to less moderation, so (as some may have noticed -- I'm looking at you, McQ) I am probably a little mouthier than the oldtimers here; and I sometimes wish the banhammer didn't fall so fast.  But the crowd here is great, and it's good to get away from my usual hangout, which is pretty anarchic by comparison.

There are times where I have thought, 'I wish I could ask him/her one more question.' but on reflection I'm happier that I have not got to the point of screaming aggravation before the banhammer has come down. So it horses for courses and if all forums were identical we wouldn't have the choices we do. And the posse here are a good bunch by the feel of it.

Yep.  I come here when I'm in a kinder, gentler mood.  I could easily be banned here were I to shoot from the lip as I do elsewhere.

I agree, it's been very easy finding a place here.

I will definitely do that.  I'm normally a total non-photo taker, but this will force me to actually shoot some pics this time.  I always regret it that I don't, but I never get around to it.

The Chaser's War On Everything a satirical/comedy group, are going to cover the Aus election.
They once set up a three car motorcade with Canadian flags, and an Osama Bin Laden look alike.  
With this cunning disguise they managed to penetrate the APEC leader’s conference security.
One of the guys once offered Hilary Clinton his services as an intern, he even had his own cigar.

Wow.  That sounds fabulous!  And here I am, happy that we will be taking a weekend getaway with the kids in a couple of weeks to the Pittsburgh, PA aquarium and Duquesne Incline.   :yay:  


It's only part time, but that's what I was hoping for so it's not too many hours away from the kids.  I go this Wed. to file all the official paperwork, and it will start the end of Aug.  It will be a huge increase in pay from my part-time job now.

Playing my guitar, and the music going straight to my fingers without stopping first in the frontal lobe.

Please don't tell Edward The Theist about this.  Please.
