I agree, and agree that the Moderator did a great job. I like that you can suss out trolls. You can get real school advice here. In its later days, UB was overrun by trolls and people who don't live in NYC (i.e. the same crowd that posts on YoubeMom). So if you posted a thread asking for opinions, you could never tell if there were 10 people saying a school is terrible, or if it was one troll that posted 10 times.
It's grown on me and I'm really glad it's here, but I miss the quick banter style of the old site, and just the fact that because it was well known it got more people so you could get a more diverse range of opinions and advice.
I like how everyone is much nicer to each other.
THIS!
Agreed. Even disagreements are civil!
You are so right! We really bonded when we all thought we were going to lose one another for good!
I like it too. Mod did a great job.

There are a few of us who don’t live in NYC anymore around here, too ... ;)
I love that you get a chance to edit a post.
