Hi Rosette, welcome to the site :)
Can any of you share your DaniWeb experience
Hmm, let's see... for me it began about a year and a half ago, when I was drugged and kidnapped in the middle of the night by Dani, our site admin and all-around Forum Goddess.
When I awoke the next day (still a bit groggy, I might add), I found that the word "Moderator" had been tatooed on my forehead, and that my Private Messages box was overflowing with requests from members who needed me to help them decipher very strange and cryptic documents which they referred to as "HijackThis logs".
The rest is more than a bit of blur, but I still have a faint, lingering recollection of the possibility that I actuallydid have a "real life" before all of this happened...
But seriously:
and tell us why you would recommend DaniWeb to others?
Many reasons really, but here's my summary:
On the technical side-
We cover a relatively wide range of computer-related topics here, and even though we're only a mid-sized support site, we have somevery knowledgeable and helpful members here whose skillsets cover that range.
Those of us who volunteer our time here as troubleshooters are pretty dedicated as well; we try to stick with the threads we've offered help in until the members' problems get resolved. For example: many of us are working from different locations around the world, and if it comes time for one of us to log off for the day, it isn't uncommon at all for us to contact another member in a different time zone and ask them to follow up on troubleshoots we've been working on until we can get back. (There's also the added "Plus" of the fact that some of us don't even sleep, so we're almost always available... :D ).
On the personal side-
We're a community, and regardless of how much our member base may grow (and it already has- we had less than 5,000 members when I joined), we want it to stay that way. We want each member to feel comfortable here, and we try our best to make sure that each member gets the help they need.
