I Like This Place Better Than The IMDB Boards!

I've used the imdb as a research resource for years. I didn't realize there were message boards on the site until a couple years ago, because I'd never scrolled that far down on a movie's home page. I lurked, but was never moved to want to join; and I am clearly not shy! There was too much that I didn't like: trolls, nutjobs, shills, dimwits and posters who assumed that everyone on the boards was in high school because THEY were in high school. There was a lot of activity, but also a lot of bad energy. This place is nothing like that. I want you to know that I like being here and that I like all of you. I've been wanting to post this for some time, but today I've seen a number of despairing posts expressing concern about the site's future. I think the future looks GREAT😁! Good energy attracts good energy. It is rare to find a group of strangers who are literate, thoughtful and courteous. Enjoy what you have now, and be confident about the future. Remember, studies have found that the happiest people are those who are happy with what they have right now. They may aspire to having more, but they are HAPPY with the here and now. The person who thinks he will be happy when "someday" comes will never be happy because he doesn't know how to be. I wish you happiness, friends!
