I've been on the internet since there was an internet & I must say that YT is actually THE most friendly forum I've been involved in. Granted, sometimes people by nature will butt heads BUT the important thing is that we've all learned that with understanding comes growth.
I've been privledged to have met several YTers in person & hope to meet many more.
There's no other place I know of that continues to educate anyone willing to learn. I can honestly say every day I've spent on the forum I've learned at least one new thing.
I think for me, bottom line, I love YT because this place is FUN!
