    What makes you keep coming back to this great website?

    Haven't posted for a while, but kept on coming back reading posts. This website is seriously addictive in a positive way! So therefore i'm popping the question: ''What makes you keep coming back over and over again?''Smile

    I like to bully Andy.

    Generally speaking, you aren't learning much if your lips are moving.

    Quick accurate and friendly advice combined with a degree of irreverence! And honest opinions unfettered by company political correctness.

    Peter keeping me sensible, you lot making me laugh all the time, and the fact i have a five figure sum loan for this website secured against my house.

    On a more serious note, i love the sheer variety - both intellectual and demographic of the membership.  I can be talking to a driving instructor from Lancashire one minute, then a dentist from Australia the next - then a Swiss surgeon, a Greek CEO and an Italian factory worker an hour later - all on a level, with no airs or graces. That's priceless, as what you do and what you have matters less on here than any place i have ever been. That's pretty special - honestly.

    I don't have any real friendsSad

    Seriously though - Lee has hit the nail on the head as far as I'm concerned.

    Haha - I'm sure you have plenty Chris. 

    I'm leaving Leeds to move back to Sheffield in a few weeks - we should meet up for that beer some time before I go back 'down south'!

    Re: What makes you keep coming back to this great website?

    This is the best forum on the web IMO, I have joined other discussion groups (non B&O). Never have I found anywhere that comes cose to been as good as Beoworld. All our members make Beoworld what it is, I truely cannot imagine what it would be like if there were no Beoworld.

    Re: What makes you keep coming back to this great website?

    Well personally addicted...

     

    I appreciate the attitude in this forum. It's a warm, altruistic and friendly community. There is always somebody genuinely willing to help (complete strangers in most cases and expecting nothing in return).

     

    That's especially apparent with Lee, Peter, Keith S, and many many many more>

    Your health and well-being comes first and fore-most.

    one of the reasons is because somehow it's one of the VERY few sites i frequent a lot and haven't been banned from !.

    Re: What makes you keep coming back to this great website?

    For me it must be a combination of:

    • The vast amount of knowledge and information of all things B&O
    • The helpful and friendly members
    • The Wednesday Thread

    I love this site!

    Puncher and Andy drank it all..  we only have alcopops and some dodgy looking 'Grunters Old Stomachcramp' Real Ale left in the fridge..

    Someone actually won some Champagne in the Christmas Prize Draw, but none of it made it to the forums.. Laughing

    Now that is a good point "the info that most dealers don't provide" ... and a very telling one!
