Having been a long time forum-addict with many different forums, I must say that in my first year of CD participation it has been one of the best forum experiences ever. There are virtually no full-time trolls on CD, no longwinded flamewars, no holy-wars, no backstabbing and admin clashes. CD is much more like a phrontisteron (
definition here) then the continual wild-west barfight of most online forums.
