    Looking and posting in other forums feels like I am somewhere where I am not supposed to be... interesting as that my sound...

    I feel like they are all saying "Get out of here. GO BACK TO VBF!"

    More of an observation than a criticism because we all do it to a degree but that's a funny reaction. If someone who usually posts at another forum, do you react like that to them? Do you even know that they "came from" another forum? I guess it's just an indication of how comfortable you feel here.

    I think its more of the comfort. I have no way of knowing if someone is from another forum. I have been at VBF on and off since 2006, so its comfortable to me. Going to another forum where the forums, color, and users are all different is weird. The best way to relate it to a real-world scenario is like walking through a neighborhood in which you are not familiar. I am very familiar with Orange County; when I am driving through Los Angeles I have the feeling that everyone knows I am not from here, even though I really do not stick out.
