Comin' In Hot!

Hey there!

Glad I found this forum, I really prefer small forums like this, and always enjoy adding to the discussion. It's my firm belief that forums are a necessity in this day and age to keep the Internet healthy and functional, and I really admire all the work that goes into creating one from scratch.

I'm the owner of a mail-order comics business, and as you might expect my line of work involves a lot of graphic design. As a result graphic design has become a longtime passion of mine, and I gotta say the general aesthetic of this site, and its color schemes, are really fantastic. The graphics are on point!

Anyway, I look forward to browsing around and checking out some of these posts.

Welcome to the forums!

I agree that small forums are the best and outpace Reddit/Twitter/et al at every turn, really. I tend to check the unread posts multiple times a day to catch up and read everything, which is in my opinion the best way to utilize a forum like this. Bigger forums quickly become obtuse (which isn't always a bad thing, pick and choose the topics you like) but there's this sweet spot of about 10 new posts every few hours that supplies you with a big (but manageable) amount to read and catch up with if you want to. And Melonland hits this very well!

I agree, the size of a forum does have a tangible effect on its atmosphere. I enjoy the exclusivity of forums, as well as the interesting topics that always seem to pop up. You could say the Melonland forum sounds deep when you knock it!

Hi welcome too the forum, and thank you for the kind words

I think if I was 18 again Id have gone into graphic work instead of programming, but then again there's still time! Its super cool that you've found a way to build a business like that
