When I first met Hydrogen, It was on digibliss during the merge. From his very first post, I could tell that he was a very nice, well respected person. He always helped me as much as he could.
WHEN I WAS NOT EVEN A MEMBER OF THIS BOARD.I then joined ncodex about 1 month or so after a met Hydrogen. The second I posted my first message introducing myself, I had tons of people welcoming me and giving me advice. Many other boards would just say. "YOU BETTER BEHAVE OR YOU WILL GET UR ASS KICKED OFF THIS BOARD"
I got to know a few of the admins, and they offered me tons of help with visual basics and never got at all upset when I asked very dumb questions.
I feel very very comfortable at this board, and I think everyone here are very nice, helpful people.
Its now been over 4 - 5 months since I met hydrogen, and I'm sure glade I did.
I'm not sure if this really answers you question hydrogen... But hey, I tried.
