Rant on, Al...Sorry... but this is my opinion...
Other forums I've been on have this "I've got the Windmill, you don't" attitude or "I have 55 Smurfs, that's more than you" ethic about it... and personally it brings bile to my throat. Smurf collecting is, in my opinion, sharing info, trading smurfs and hearing amazing stories of other people. We'll never have every smurf item ever... and we'll live with that.
I thought this forum was different.
A forum is as informative, sharing, and friendly as the people posting on it are informative, sharing and friendly....Being a member on other (smurf and non smurf ) forums makes me appreciate this one so much more (and not just because I am a mod..I've been in love with the members on here ever since joining the forum )
