I like this forum because the people here are friendly and I don't feel overwhelmed like I do on other older and more visited forums. On those others, I feel like I always have tons of stuff to read and catch up on that I feel lost and insignificant. :oops: Plus, there are more flame wars and I feel like anything I say will start a battle!

I've been with Beta since it started, as well as when some of us were on Alpha, I feel more 'in touch' with everything that's going on-kinda like a close-knit family. :P I feel open to post what I want without the bulls**t. :wink:

I think Elfstalker has said it perfectly. Everyone here on this forum is friendly...I can be open with others and for the most part, don't have to worry about flames. I love the people here and would love to get closer to each of them!! Yeah, I'm here for the cels too and I've gotten some good ones because of this forum..but I feel that I can come here if I have any problems or issues, there are plenty of good people here to lend an ear. (am I getting too mushy?) What can I say, I just love the company! 8)

Heh heh, during the post wars, I got behind on reading all the posts, got lost, and neglected a few, but fortunately that's over with :wink:

momma... your the whole reason I'm here!

I sometimes wonder if I should have sold my Mystic Gohan cel or not, but then I realize I probably still wouldn't know about this board if I hadn't sold it and you hadn't told me!

Either way, this is a GREAT place to associate with fellow cel collecting nuts like myself. I love this board because everyone here is friendly and helpful. I mean... I probably would have missed out on my wishlist cel if it hadn't been for Might Mask helping me out.

This board also helps keep everyone up-to-date on information about cels on ebay/yj... etc. It's a great place to be because it's small enough to feel like your part of something and not just another pointless post.

I'm still relatively new here but I really like this board. In fact, it's become my home page believe it or not! I think it was the great greeting everyone gave me the first time I posted that hooked me to this place.

I'll be visiting this place for a long time to come. Probably even after I run out of all my money and find myself in financial ruin... no longer able to buy another cel ever again.

Ok, Image I do enjoy stopping by here and catching up on everything ( twice a day!).

And yes you are the best cyber-friends/people around. As Elfstalker said
people here are friendly and I don't feel overwhelmed like I do on other older and more visited forums.
Thats why I say on my little gallery- "happy to be a member of Anime-Beta forum".

I mostly just visit this board because I’m the subject of a secret government experiment to reduce my evil tendencies.
They prop my eyes open and force me to read posts while playing Ludwig Van at loud levels and inject me with toxins to make me nauseous.

BUT THEY WILL NOT BREAK MY WILL TO BUY/COLLECT CELS!!

...they can't take you guys away from me...

Heh, meyers- you mentioned a good point!! Without Beta, we'd probably never know where those prized wishlist cels went. And since a lot of those cels belong to members of Beta, we know where to oogle and drool. (and make targets! :twisted: )

I started with Alpha, then followed the gang around until Beta became our permanent home.

I haven't bought a cel in months, I don't post nearly as often as most others, but I try to visit and catch up every couple days. I like to see who bought what cels, who wants what cels, who thinks cels for auction are fakes and what is the latest scam that was uncovered.

Most of all I visit for the same reason everyone else has mentioned, the people here are nice, the atmosphere is fun, and the food is good...Oh wait, that's TGIFridays.

Elfstalker said it best, so I say 'ditto' Thanks!

I am glad that some of you reach out to others outside of Beta to help.I might have kept bidding on that Mira Trunks walking out of the room of time and space if I hadn't been warned.
Thanks to all in advance. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
