The Ford Forums

[GT0132]

Not sure how anyone else feels about internet forums generally...I belong to a few forums on different interests I have......being music, home theatre, car detailing and this great site AFF which i joined back in April last year after a torrid marriage break up.

I gotta say after the unfortunate death of a great forum buddy to us all it really hits home how close a lot of us are on here, even though many of us have not met personally .

Most web forums have no more than 10 members online at any one time, yet AFF always has in excess of 100 logged on at any time of the day which goes to show its popularity. Crikey I've come online at 4am and there's at least 20 people on here!

The point I want to make here is that its just great how AFF has the capacity to bring so many people together with a common interest and how so many friendships can develop just by sitting in your living room at home.

Dont get me wrong, I spend more time out of my living room than being in it (although a lot would disagree...especially those women on RSVP.com who i've sent a kiss to ) but the friendships I've made on AFF are truly valuable and could never be replaced.

This week has probably been a first for a death on this site and after that experience it really hits home how close we all really are.

I think the administrators and moderators need to be thanked for the time and effort they put in for maintaining a truly A1 site.
