I like the shakestheground name. OOPS......was I not supposed to call you by you real name :-\ Sorry about that shakestheground

Well, I was wondering about the origin of the name, Tru. I live on the New Madrid fault line and I have felt (and heard) the ground shaking several times in the past few years! :o
So--is there a story behind the name?

I was wondering about the origins of that name too......I was hoping it didn't mean we were going to have an earthquake during the SF event. I had always said that since I had wanted to see California for so long a big one would probably come as soon as I landed. But, the good thing is that it didn't and I finally can't say I have never seen California. So where did that come from Truman (I mean shakestheground)?

I was just thinking about something I don't understand and maybe it is just a misconception that I have. I am a member of all of the forums, obviously Bettermost, but also DC and EnnisJack. I identify myself with Bettermost, but I also post and read DC since there are people there who I know. Although EnnisJack was the first forum I joined I have never spent much time there. What I don't understand is why the atmosphere here on Bettermost seems to be so different than the one on DC. It seems sometimes, and again maybe this is a misconception on my part, that things are so much more laid back here on Bettermost. People here seem to get along so well, but I see a lot of disagreement at DC. I feel sometimes that things happen there that leads to a lot of heated discussions which in many cases I think leads to people saying things they don't even really mean to each other. I am by no means cutting DC down. There are a lot of good things there. Maybe it is simply that I consider Bettermost home. Surely two forums could not be that different. Oh well, part of my ramblings I guess.

Hello Jack! I think that the way the administration and the moderators here work together for the good of the forum helps the atmosphere. When someone has a problem, he or she can contact one of them, and it gets addressed immediately in PM's--so the friction stays off the boards as much as possible.
I love Bettermost too! The people here are nice and lotsa fun. And they can disagree without getting into a fight or calling names. ;D
