You don't really want to know. The last two who tried to challenge us went mad, and the one before that, well, I think he's the one who gouged his own eyes out. Does anybody remember?

Yeah...I do really want to know. There's no challenge here, just curiosity. How does this place distinguish itself from other similar sites?

Well I don't know about Australia, but here we'd probably say "different from all the rest" or "different than all the rest".

All the rest would merely jump on a poster's bad spelling.

Plus, we have the quiz.

This place will suprise you with the breadth and depth of knowlege some random member will pop up with when you have a question.

Folks here are often very supportive of members when life isn't going their way. There is a price though. You've got to give to get. Be straight tell real stories about real life offer real opinions defend them and don't spam us on post 1. It's simple and rare.

By not trying to, as far as I can tell. Other sites generally seem to have a focus. You never know what will come up here.

Griff and HM:
You left out the sarcasm. We do take it to places it hasn't gone before.

I dunno, I think even more than sarcasm, we take bemusement to new heights.

I see the grammar nazis (possibly unqualified) are in residence here also. There's something you have in common with practically every other MB. How bout the spelling police? Are there any of those here?

Griff and HM...thanks for your comments.

The plural of "nazi" is "nazis".

Quite simply put, there are no similar sites.

This place is distinguished by its characters. It takes a while to get to know them. Folks with 1000s of posts are good to those with just dozens of posts; except when they deserve a good spanking.

Also, this place avoids glitziness; no avatars, no special fonts or colors, plain. Dropping the animated part of your signature would boost your points.

Oh wow, there are spankings here too. You guys should advertise that up front.

Possibly unqualified?
Most assuredly unqualified!

But we don't let that slow us down.
