Occasionally, I check the "Currently Active Users" detail on the home page, to see where everyone is, and what threads are of most interest to the members.

There are always guests here looking at either the index or specific threads. As of this moment, there are 8 members and 8 guests online.

I've noticed a recent increase in overall civility towards each other in the forums, and I think that's a good thing.

Spirited discussion is good, thought provoking, and a real draw to new members, and I hope we all can keep a lid on our tempers when things get heated.

Frankly, we've had some problems with this in the past, and I think we've run some people off of the forums with our actions.

I also think that reporting trolls immediately for action by the Admins, will also keep it tidy around here.

Hopefully, though we are quite diverse in our philosophies, good will towards each other, will attract new members.
