How do you use this forum?

I enjoy reading here because everyone seems very friendly and intelligent. I can’t stand forums with misspellings, grammar errors, teenage abbreviations (“ur” for “your” etc). I find I can get very thoughtful responses to a variety of questions.

I do feel like it is a little slower these days? Is it just me? I have also seen some long time members with “Banned” over their avatars and that disappoints me as I feel like I “know” a lot of you and will miss those voices. I guess there is no way to be able to find out what is going on in those folks’ lives anymore :frowning:
