I think much of that has to do with people likeyourself, JimD, who extend a welcome mat out to newcomers;plus the fact this forum is open to all bunny fanciers, not justnarrowly focused in one area of rabbit interest.
Carolyn does an excellent job of moderating, Danielle knows how to runa good, tight ship and the posting is truly international in flavor.
The "regulars" here temper their seriousness with a certaindegree of joviality and the picture posting adds an element not foundon many other forums. We do look out for one another in waysthat go beyond lagomorph interests, too,and I can't help butto agree with many who say this forum is like family.
It is a good 'un!
