Jack's Ramblings
jstephens9:
I think you hit the nail directly on the head :) I sure do not see the friction here and I've never seen any fighting or calling names. It seems like there is an attitude here of if necessary we can agree to disagree. There is an element of supportiveness of each other here at Bettermost that I find to be rare and I am very glad to find it. I will say that Brokies in general, regardless of forum, are supportive of each other; however, it just seems that here it all comes full circle. I definitely want to thank the administration, the moderators, and the members for creating this wonderful atmosphere. It sure does feel like home to me.

Man! That just makes my day. Thank you, Jack and Shasta. We have to give the thanks to our members though. A website is only as good as the members it attracts and keeps. YA'LL are the best!
(of course it helps we have such a great founder, Phillip Dampier! He runs a loose rein and lets us do as we please...as long as we are all playing nicely together! ;) )

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.

Thanks for sharing these thoughts. They keep all of us energized because it shows we're doing the right thing. I wanted to run a place where we could stay positive and focused on taking the message of the film and improving our lives with it. I love ALL of the BBM forums, and belong to all of them as well. I just wanted to fill a niche by making this a place where we'd never allow personal attacks or a lot of negativity that would distract us from the greater mission of finishing the story in our own lives. And because we must have fun at the same time, I don't want a place that is a chore and regimented. I don't have the answers to everything, so I like the fact everyone gets to help make this place what it is. And it's okay if a thread wanders or if topics and themes change with time. As long as we're together as a community, that's what is important to me!
And I am so glad you are a part of it!
