I just want to say thank you to everyone who's been a part of this little community that the TC crew has put together.
It's been a while since I've been a big part of a forum (I think like 7 years or so?), because I couldn't find one that meant anything to me. This place is everything I've ever wanted in a forum.
Everyone here is nice, supportive, understanding, open-minded, and intelligent. We all have different tastes in music, comics, books, movies, tv shows and whatever else, yet we all relate on the same basic level: we all love comics. I'm thankful for each and every one of you that shows respect for people's different opinions about comics and whatever else.
I hope that we can continue to grow in a positive way. I hope we never turn out like the CBR forums (no offense to anyone from there it's just that with my experience there it is extremely negative).
I just wanted to say "Cheers" and maybe an almighty "Huzzah!" to all of us for being so F$#*@! awesome.
Maybe this didn't need it's own thread, but oh well... it's been done.

"Dro", Thanks for being part of the reason why these Talking Comics Forums are so awesome! I must say that going into this I was a bit trepidatious, as having "lurked" at some other forums I saw discussions quickly spiral into nasty exchanges, and I was worried that such things were just in the nature of the beast, even though virtually every encounter between our fans with each other or with us, whether etheral or corporeal, was completely positive. I needn't have worried, because that spirit of community has not only continued here, but exploded into something very special in the mostly-contentious internet world. I've said often that one of the things about our enterprise about which I'm most proud has been the "family of friends" that has blossomed around our little passion project, so let me take this opportunity to say "Thanks!" to all of you out there in "radioland" who have created this wonderful and welcoming atmosphere! Humbly, Bob |

It is a great forum, in fact it's the first comic forum I've joined. It's probably the only one I've come across that isn't full of negativity and people slating the fact that other people have the audacity to like something else and is not full of the 'It used to better' attitude. After listening to the podcast for a while I guessed that if this community was anything like the podcast, it would be great. And I was right.

This forum is great, I've been looking for a place to talk about geek culture since a lot of my friends arent as into all this as I am. To find a place as good as this without any trolls lurking is amazing. I attempted other places to not be named and was turned off by them rather quickly, especially when I first started getting back into comics.
It's nice to find a good group of people who wont chastise you for what books you do and dont like, the diversity in what everyone reads here is great. If I had the funds to do so I'd be checking out a ridiculous amount of books.
It's great to have a forum that isnt filled with negativity or people ripping each other apart, look forward to many more discussions with you all!

I have really enjoyed reading the discussions as a new member. I was a little hesitant to post being new to comics, but everyone seems very nice and welcoming. I look forward to contributing more as I read more comics!
Also, I really need to choose an avatar.

I feel the same way that a lot of people here do.
Before this forum there wasn't a community i really wanted to be a part of cause that's not something i would normally do, but as soon as i heard about this forum on the podcast i knew that it would the place for me and i'm glad i joined up ever since.

Ha ha, I think it's already working - I went on a bit of a downloading spree through Comixology based on recommendations here and I will definitely have some new titles to add to my pull list at the local comic shop. |

SO MANY FEELS!
Seriously though, all of the reasons you've mentioned is EXACTLY why we've been working on building this forum for a while now. I know Bob and Bobby have already replied to this, but for me, it means the WORLD to have had a hand in setting up a safe place where we can all come to talk about ourselves, whether it's about comics or TV shows, movies or music or whatever. You guys have been SO amazing to us and we hope this always remains a place where you feel safe to express your opinions and talk to friends, whether you know them in real life or not.
