I swing both ways, here and facebook, but have only friends and family there on my list. So a very small number of people and manageable. I seem to be a bit klutzy about the messenger bit .

I am so comfortable with this site. I feel like part of a community. There's lots of interaction and very good topics for discussion along with the chance to meet someone special if that's on your life list. Best of all there are no RELEVANT ads making it hard for my pages to load! LOL!!!

I completely agree.

With the data mining being done (and now made public) on FBook, several of the old email forums I am in are coming back... I never unsubscribed, and emails are back up to over 1,000/week and growing (used to be > 1,000/day).

Never got into FBook, and was basically forced in G+ for Ingress.

This forum was promoted in a G+ Atheist group, and I decided to check it out.

Me too. I have a lot more intelligent conversations here.

Much more engaging than that other big site (try not to mention it by name) and I like that there are no recommendations for what I should be reading, based on some hidden algorithm.

Took the words out my mouth

Agreed.
