Hi all,
I joined in 2006, as soon as I joined Ceroc classes. I cant remember the size of the forum at that time, but there were and until recently always a couple of lively discussions up and running. I love this forum and will never willingly leave it. I am far more likely to drop Facebook. I do use both if I get a quiet period at work, but I will always come here first.
2 types of post do put me off though... Political and Religious posts.
I get really depressed by backstabbing (House of Commons or elsewhere) so I tend to avoid political news reports (and therefore postings) like the plague. I get the rest of my news from RSS feeds at work, generally read in the morning, when I am most resilient to bad news, which seems to be the only type available
Religion: I hold my own views on religion, which are deeply personal to me. I fully respect people who feel they can talk about their religion, and envy them their skill and confidence. I however have no wish to get involved in discussions on this topic - acrimonious or not.
Every other subject I am perfectly happy with, and I do try to add my tuppence worth when something piques my interest.
For me, I know that I would never have travelled as much without Ceroc, or have been half as sociable even when at home. Ceroc in general and this forum in particular have brought me out of my shell and increased my self confidence many times over (Yes I know you wouldn't be able to tell now - particularly in the Blues room)
As Mark Twain would put it:
"The Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated"
I think that is the case with this forum... Maybe we should all give ourselves some homework - Investigate an interesting topic or theme about which a thread can be formed - extra points if it is dance related.. Any opinions? (What a silly question!)
