No matter how gargantuan the site that LMF is linked to, it will fail if it cannot sustain itself based on it's own merits. It'll always just be a 'me, too' site. But, it isn't that way.
It isn't who we are linked to as a site, it's not the administration. It's nothing more than a hot topic, with a good group to back it up. It is US. Every single one of us.....from 2 posts to 2,500 and everything in-between. WE ARE WHAT MAKES LMF WHAT IT IS.
Rarely do I do an "anthem" kind of post, but this site deserves it. I also belong to TBN. I didn't come from there. I just googled a couple questions, and kept getting this site, so I joined. I joined TBN (Tractor By Net) because of LMF. In the same time period, I have fewer than 50 posts on TBN. I have well over a thousand here. It's the community. I argue with some (or maybe most) of you, but I can't not be here. I like hanging out here that much. Sure, I have things to do outside. But, I'll keep my phone on me, and check LMF throughout the day, you can believe that!
So, if you're new, you DO add a lot to this site, and will add more as your personality fleshes itself out in this oddball family we have here. I encourage you to stay no matter how much someone (probably me) pisses you off. You can add to the site just by BEING HERE!!!!
I know absolutely nothing compared to KennyV, but I stay anyhow, and I post every day, and just talk. Sometimes it's unfriendly, but mostly, I just wanna say something. Don't you?
I know I got one particular extra-sarcastic response to what I said in my thread about reaching 1,000 posts. It was deserved - I am second only to JDgreen in sarcasm. I get it. But, I meant it - we are LMF. ALL OF US, and if not for this community, I would not have lasted a week.
So, no matter how new you are, realize there are people watching who are not members - and imagine them enjoying watching you interact with the rest of us. Then imagine them liking it to the point of joining in. We ALL make this site - so stand your ground, and stay around!
