I don't think that the chats or the boards are really very good indicators of a person's sincerity, character, or personality on the whole. Personally, I do a lot of field work, bounce from company computer to company computer, and prefer having conversations about thread topics at munches and things as opposed to an online forum format. A computer is just for meeting people that you'd like to know in real life: it's not the precursor to an engagement. Usually when I log on, I browse around and see who's online at the same time and has something that makes me laugh or think in their profile, then say hi. I don't think a person posting 30,000 forum posts in the last year is a prerequisite to messaging them, of course, if some of the most recent ones are good, then sure. Also, I like the idea of making this and the other one sticky. Which mods run the boards here? I think it'd be a very worthwhile addition up there with the Rules and Introduce Yourself sections. Cheers
