That people help each other and there is a minimum of flaming or or ridicule. People need not to feel ashamed about asking any questions.

The site layout could make things easier to find, especially basics like posting rules. If possible, The 60 seconds between searches and including New Posts and Today's Post in those search limits could be better. Google searches are encouraged which is good. AVSForum.com has a Google search box at the site which saves the time required to open a new window and go to the Google site. It also saves having to type the "site:stromtrooper.com" suffix in the Google search. I like the layout at the VSRI site, Vstrom.info, but that may have a lot to do with that site's lower traffic. The on site search engine is still needed to do things like find a search word in a post by a specific member. That is not working well now.

I think the off topic forums add to the friendly exchange that makes this site so popular but am bothered by contentious exchanges that do the opposite. Political and religious discussions especially are divisive.

Some sites offer no ads for supporters but my biggest incentive to support the site is that it be a helpful one with a positive direction and a minimum of divisiveness.
