Mystic, you say that as if your opinion means much to me. If GF is so bad, then why are so many GCers coming over, and worse yet, why are there so many lurkers...? That doesn't make much sense to me. Mystic, I think you're an intelligent person and most of the time I think your posts make a lot of sense. This one was no different, in that I am a newbie and I am getting "the lay of the land." I've discovered that on GC there are several people who get their entertainment by putting others down (low self-esteem, boredom, no life, whatever the reason) and that once in a while good converstaion does exist. I have also discovered that Greek Friends is a different type of Greek issues forum that serves a different pupose, which is why I chose to join it in addition to GC. I will not be bullied (mostly because I think it's all too funny now) so I'm not going to take my ball and go home. I realize that GC can never be what GF is and that's ok - that's why there are two now

How are so many people finding GF? I've googled everything that I can think of and the only greek friends I can find is what appears to be a dating service. It isn't that I really want to visit, although it would be nice to see what all the fuss is about; I just don't see how it can be high-traffic since it seems impossible to find.

See this is where you've blown the benefit of the doubt with me. I don't think "people who get their entertainment by putting others down" is what's going on here -- it's not what was going on in the threads involving you. I do wonder, though, if you don't get your entertainment from creating drama. That's how it starting to look. I guess saying that makes me snarky, but whatever.

As for HRPL, yeah it's fine for there to be 2 sites -- whatever makes people happy. I'm all for the free market. I've been there from time to time, but so far I've had no desire to sign up. What I've seen has been way too quiet and white bread for my taste. But hey, lots of people like white bread, or they wouldn't keep making it.
