I was typing up my first post while you posted this.  Thanks a bunch, I think this will be an excellent addition to the site!

I like it!  Kinda like a diesel site I am on, where they have several "off topic" forums, including a "politics" forum, which includes a warning "This forum may contain heated political discussions, enter at your own risk..."

I like it, we can all discuss our hobbies other than lighting. It's amazing!

I don't know guys. Something is fishy over here. I was on this site for 5 years already, and I have posted over 500 pictures on this site, left a thousand comments, and STILL for some god forbidden reason, my posts counter next to my icon still says "0" and I am still a NEWBIE! Is it a bug where only I see it as 0 and other people see me as 'higher'? I don't understand it. How can it still be a Newbie after 5 years and thousands of posts???  Please, someone, explain. I am actually really irritated by it.

The post count is forum posts, not pictures or picture comments. Notice how your post count now says 1.
