Right. There has been a fair amount of nastiness on this forum and it ends here.

When I started here this place was pretty much dead, with people coming here more to get a bit of help rather than chat. I have seen (and hopefully helped) the web forum develop into a small community.

We have realised that many of us have a lot in common, and between us we have a wide range of skills that has got to a point where SR are sponsoring us to set up a website offering help.

Though we are all varied in our backgrounds and we all have different ways of assessing and dealing with issues, we must work as a team now more than ever instead of being at eachothers throats about minor issues. We all have specialist skills that will make this site a success and rather than argue on who does something better, learn from the other person and develop your skills accordingly.

As I see it, for this site of ours to be a true success, we must forget about minor issues, personal grudges, "mine's better than yours", "my dads harder than yours" and so on. Out of all the forums on this site this is the one that for me feels like it has the tightest group, and I feel like a member rather than a user. I'd like to see it kept that way.

Can't we all just get along? :)

How about....

Here!;-) In all seriousness though, I have to agree.

I too see this as more of a community rather than a place to chat, though chat should really be replaced with "Itelligent Discussion"

OK, Guilty as charged on the "minor issues front" but its a habit, my job is Design, Build and Usability (you already know that sitting in the office opposite!!), but some of these minor issues can turn out to be major ones in a project of this scale and things like Usability and Accessabilty are things that get either dissmissed or vastly over looked and end up resulting in war of words. My main aim is to educate on these subject, it's the future of the web and a big issue for those who have been in the industry for a long time...

Hear hear... There is a massive pool of skills here, skills that are always in need of and skills that can be developed as time goes on. As well as coming here to teach/advise I also come here to learn and pick up new tricks.

For this "Advice Site" to work properly, peoples roles need to be clearly defines and a form of Project Management/Plan needs to be drawn up and agreed. Were not here to impress or to win stuff, were here to use the skills we have to the best of our ability to elighten others and help others develop.

Can't we all just get along? :)

As you asked so nicely without the aid of the UN, then I wave my white pants in the air and say *Yeah*
