I joined here four score and seven years ago...no wait, that would be 1923. I'm pretty sure nobody on here has been around for that long.
Anyways, I joined about two years ago, and this was my first (and only) forum, so I had no clue as to what to do. Thankfully, some members were able to get me on my feet, tell me the ways of the forum, and almost two years later, look at where I have come up. If you ever need help, the people here are always helpful from the administrators to the normal users. That's one reason why I have stayed on here; the friendliness of the forums is welcoming, and that's why my ZD experience has been perhaps the best two years of my Internet life.
Even as a mod, people don't have problems with me when I have to get my job done. It's nice to see a forum that mods are highly respected and not having people think of moderators or staffers as some form of evil syndicate. This might be my only forum, but I must say that this very well might be the best forum out there on the web.
