I've got to say, I'm really enjoying the influx of new people! It's refreshing to log in and see anywhere between 10 and 20 new posts! Yay!

    Oh, come on, nomad. Take the good with the bad.

    Your remind me of my friend, who I had directed to the site. He said there seem to be a lot of beginners on here (and then he admitted that some of the posts sound a lot like what he would say! ;-)

    What I like is that there are several levels on here, and you can choose the level that you want to be challenged at......

    Its sounds like you are saying that some of the new posts are a "hit" and others are a "miss". Sounds like you would happily miss some of the new posts......
    - or did you mean something different????

    That’s right. I would happily miss some of the new posts. To say otherwise would be dishonest to myself and the rest of the group.

    Now I am a paranoid new poster.

    Is there something in particular that you find obnoxious?

    You're safe, Lyssa. Most of the really annoying stuff has been some kind of posturing religiosity. (Speaking for myself, it's welcome, too. But still annoying. :))

    The self-conscious and the annoying almost never overlap! :D Then again I'm just enjoying the newcomers all around.

    I think some of us hame migrated from "Buddhism without Boundaries" which closed over the weekend.

    I'm a bit sad about the closing of Buddhism Without Borders. I hope everyone comes here because they had so many great posters. It was a lovely site and I'm missing it even though I only went there a few times.

    Yeah I loved it there :) But I am sure we can generate some good energy here. Basic Buddhism, innit. All things arise and pass away :)

    Buddhism without Boundaries closed? Why? What is happening to all of these online sanghas??

    I was a member, but as a Mod on three forums, and a busy hectic schedule (working days and evenings) and a particularly hectic time at the moment, I don't have time to post on every forum I belong to....
    I'm a member on Dhammawheel, too, and on A view to Buddhism - I hardly get a chance to go on either of those, too..... :(

    I'm sorry it's closed, but these things happen...Impermanence, i think they call it.
    Even the Buddha's Sangha is turning its wheel.

    No more of your excuses, Fed!!!! :cool:

    In all honesty though, some of the other online sanghas can be very hard to contribute to. It's nice to have NB alive and kicking. :)
