Seeing a good bunch of new members settling in  ;D

The forum has picked up quite a bit lately.
Most definitly has  ;D

It's the 30% larger avatars than other comparable forums advantage.
We don't ritually sacrifice our theists either, but I'm not sure if that necessarily would increase membership.  :-\

Yea, something tells me that Not Your Typical... would not enjoy being part of a sacrifice.  :P

After weeks of talking about it and thinking about it, on Wednesday, I finally got a cortisone shot in my arthritic left knee.  It still fills a bit overfull of fluid, but the pain is much reduced and the joint moves much more easily.  That is something to be cheerful about.   :D

I had that done once -- it was stunning being able to use my knee almost normally withing seconds.  That'll definitely put a smile on your face.

But some members would be attracted by the occasional sacrifice.
I think many other atheist forums offer this so there is probably a niche for a forum that lets theists live like normal folk.  Until we tire of them at least.  ;)

Yea you might be right. But I wouldn't want to do it to often. And only if said theist deserves it.

Yes, not all pain is enjoyable  ;D

Now I have.  I could use something like that, especially when it snows.  Thank you.   :)

I will. I just started driving this week, so I'm not that good yet  ;D
Look at the two videos here and make sure they are never about you  ;D

The only difference between me and the first driver is that I would have been much faster about parking so badly.

The Asmo is actually very good at that sort of things, but he has been known to park in the sloppiest of ways now and then... Out of laziness, mostly.  ;D

Wow. That is honestly all I can say about that. I actually parallel parked for the first time today. Took me about 25 minutes, but I didn't hit anything.
