I've done the rounds on many a message board / discussion forum over the years and you guys are by far the best I've ever come across.

And yeah, I'm feeling all mushy right now - unlike my usual self :mrgreen:

I agree. Since Syl found me in a philosophy chatroom, lo these many months ago, and brought me here, I barely go elsewhere. The atmosphere here is the best.

LOL. Yep, yep. This is the only place I've ever been ('net or meat space) that I can look around and say I actually like everyone. I couldn't hand pick a better group of people.

During the down-time I was perusing some Anime forums. Saw a guy on one named VileSilencer. Sent him a quick pm about the board. Apparently, he's Mirager here. Now I just gotta talk him into being a more active member here (I think his post count on the other board was something like 2000).

Anyway, yeah, you guys are great... and I don't think any of us would be here without Vain and Jay.

I've never been much of a message boarder before but perhaps serendipity led me here. I simply stumbled upon Kevin's Watch when doing a search of the Chronicles. After joining I was greeted warmly and drawn into a group of intelligent, charming, and hilarious members.

Everyone is genuinely nice and seems to truly care about each other.
Sometimes I purposely play the devil's advocate on posts to estimate the knowledge and emotion the posters feel toward the subject matter. It is evident. I love seeing the conviction and debate while maintaining such good will.

I'm also glad there is some interest in archaeology here as well. I love talking arch so hearing others experiences and interest makes me happy. :D

Besides Jay and Vain, who keep this wonderful site going, credit and esteem belongs to the big posters, the Mile-Highers. Danlo, Syl, Duchess, Infelice, Sky, Damelon, Mhoram, Fist, Turiya, I'll even include Lord Foul since he's almost there. ;), (I hope I didn't forget anyone) really make the place alot of fun.
Great members all the way around

I'd be Mile-High now, I bet, if not for my posts being sucked into a temporal time-vortex when the site experienced the Ritual of Desecration. No biggie! Keep up the good work, Vain! I've said it before, and I'll say it again: you be jammin', mon!

Quite frankly, I'm amazed at such fast posters like you, Kin. 500 already and it's been a little over a month since you joined! Whew!!

This is my first message board as well. It's truly enjoyable to join in here.

I met Duchess tonight in Chicago, and she's as wonderful in person as she is here. 8) It was a great time. I'll give more details later, since it's getting late here. :)

Well a good many of many posts can be ascribed to the Duchess' addictive games. Take out those and I'm closer to maybe 200.

This was my first message board too - I've been a member of several others as well since then, but none have the same warmth as Kevin's Watch. Thanks everyone! :D
