Thanks for the opportunity to share Mod 3!
I mostly lurk. Reading various posts on such a wide range of topics is a great tool. Remembering that there is a whole world out there beyond your doorstep is important and this medium helps that. The CoTH collective is a wonderful resouce for simply things like “what do you do with jam/jelly” from a post in the off topic section the other day, to working out a problem with a troubled; horse, cat, dog etc be it a medical issue, training issue or just needing a name for a new family member. Knowing that someone else has experienced what you are trying to naviage is a valuable tool.
Reading the forums has helped me be a better person by hearing other experinces and learning from their life lessons.
We have all laughed together and cried together. I truly enjoy the community here.
I second what Munch said. Well said Munchingonhay!
As well as being a resource, which I often source, not always as a direct question but more often I search what has already been asked, often that is enough, there are times I simply come here to read, get a glimpse into another lifestyle or concerns and go away at mimimum lifted out of my own puddle.
What they said. Hearing other’s experiences has saved my sanity more than once. Especially in the past two years!
The forums let me “keep my hand in” while real life was dishing out changes. I was out of horses for nearly 7 years (after 35 years in, 7 year gap, and now another 7 years in). It’s jarring to lose that connection, but luckily, the forums provided a touchstone that helped me during that time.
The forums were great until you started carrying “current events” content.
