Tilted Forum: where everybody knows your name and they're always glad that you came.

Well, one degree of anonymity that's present on the TFP that's uncommon of the internet is our membership requisite. That means, in order to read posts, you need to be logged into your account/persona. Google, or any other random person cannot read our posts without deliberately signing up for TFP. This is a good layer of protection that hal(x) has built into the forums, which I'm happy for. Would you want all of TFP available for anyone to see, all through google or another search engine ? [from a perspecitive of one who doesn't have access to other sections of the site, at least I think there's other parts restricted to 'tilted' and the lower echelon of members]
[there's places like bigboards.com which is just a search engine of forums]

While I have not [knowingly] met any of the other members in TFP as of yet, there's a level of trust and respect, (the admins labor to continually keep this high level here) that I have observed and participated here. Like many others who have responded, I have used this forum as a diary/journal/physchologist. Though this may not be the healthiest,
it allowed us to know each other better, other people collectively [based on the actions/thoughts of TFP'ers], and even know more about myself.

That, my comrades, is a damn great forum

This forum does have a lot in common with cheers, except for the show's lack of intellectual dialogue
