I came across this and found it interesting. It's a six page article about forum members and behavior patterns. Thank goodness Simv forums are well moderated.

I actually have sat up in the middle of the night, a time or two, and got up and edited a post.  ::)

Very interesting read. That's what I like about this forum, the magority of the members here at Sim V are very polite, knowledgeable, respectful, friendly, helpfull and over all mature, and have good morals. And Thank You Pete, and all you Mods, for making Simviation what it is today and in the future! Cheers! [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=birthdays.gif] [smiley=beer.gif]

SimV is, although it also has its lesser gloryful times, a really nice place to be :)
The V can't avoid some "crisis" with some of the members here, but it's all about keeping that "crisis" time as small as possible, because there will always be some members disagreeing with forums politics.
Nevertheless, Pete and the Mod team are doing a great jobs in keeping law & order in store here at the forums  8-)

Cheers Theis
