content: Hi, as you all can see by the number of posts I have, I'm still a new member.My question is, is it necessary to stay true to one blog if you want yourself to become a strong member of that forum or community.How many of the people here at the EEVBLOG forum belong to other forums, and post there often?

content: Well,I am a member of QRZ.com as well.Although the members of that forum have Amateur Radio as their hobby,many are not "amateur" in their approach to Electronics.For instance,W8JI is a fount of knowledge on Antenna theory,as well as a lot of other stuff.I see no reason why you cannot be a member in good stead of several forums.VK6ZGO

content: WOW Mechatrometer, that's a deep response. I think I'll just keep doing what I've been doing up until now. Hang around between different blogs, but within the same "electronic" atmosphere.

content: different forums have different "slants" and you find different people in them some experts in particular fields. I just tend to stick to this forum and left another forum as I no longer licked it but preferred this one and did try a few others but they didn't "grab me". Your free to be a member of as many as you like. often you find forums dealing in different aspects and subjects that overlap more or less

content: Quote from: Simon on June 17, 2011, 05:56:45 amHow true. At the moment, the eevblog feels like the most welcoming forum. But still I tend to hang out at the other forums.Why? I don't know.
