Anyone on the forum you consider family?

I have to agree about Mumbling. She is a very well-liked member, and I can see why. She's good-natured, sweet and(to my knowledge anyway) has never gotten in a fight or argument with another GOF member. She is a wonderful GOF member

I haven't been on GOF for a long time at all.. but it seems like everyone around here is like family.. Everyone has been so kind and welcomed me to the forum..It's just such a sweet place..
They way I see it, the forum is a giant, loving family!

In some forums, there are the called Forum families. Its actually a great thing to have, and besides the almost literal meaning, its useful for when someone wants to speak or something like it. (It's actually a great idea... I'll think about it...)

A forum like this is always great. One can make new friends and talk about everything without feeling ashamed. That¥s the only one forum in the web I know so far, where one can do that.

About this forum I already met two guys (Malte and Gustav) in real life, who I wouldn¥t ever know without this forum.

So big thanks to the creaters of this Forum!

Aren't we all family in one way or another? I mean, we all like The Land Before Time. That is what draws us together.

Yes!
We are all friends here!
And as I've heard, and also agree to, is that friends are the family we choose for ourselves!

Reading through most of the messages posted here I'm kind of wondering if all of you who say that the entire GOF is a family for you think there is indeed no difference between friends and family (or a friend so close that you would name him or her family even though it is no blood relationship). Would you disagree with the "Family" song's claim that family is "more than being friends"? Much as everyone likes everyone around here I somewhat doubt that indeed anyone here feels just as related to every single other GOF member without having a closer relationship with some than with some others. I wonder to what degree the claims about feeling all GOF members as family are based on polite refusal to "rank" any other GOF members above others rather than on total honesty

You've got a very good point there, Malte... Something that requires careful thought, I think...

I think the concept of "Friends and family" is based on opinion and perception. Personally, I think my remaining friends(yes I am including net friends too), were more like family then my actual blood line family. Like my intermediate family (my parents) is great towards me, I can't say the same for the rest of my family simply because I only see them on the holidays.

It probably is unfair to say that, "We're all family here" when some, if not most of us don't even know some of the other individuals here. Especially if there is a member that hasn't been here for a very long time and hasn't actually spoken to the some of the people here.

However, some of the members here just may be telling the truth and that's what they really think and believe, or they don't but they are just saying it because of the moment and the amount of people that said, "I feel like everyone is my family here".

I have to agree with malte though. I wouldn't consider everyone here to be my family. Just a few, to be honest. That's why I never posted a list or anything, no offense to anyone..

Don't get me wrong but I don't think I can get along absolutely awesome with everyone. Though when one would say the GoF is one big family, it might be so to that person

For me it just isn't completely.

Guess you didn't know kjeldo...but I'm a DUDE dude! Just to clear up that little uncertainty for ya there But cheers fella, I'd consider you a good friend too

oh gee thanks!

i'll also have to say:

you know guys, most of this people i consider family but there are some specials like malte279, i consider him as a sensei, a man who you can learn much things from, and then there is kor, one of the wises around here, some people consider him as a granddad,(with a long white beard to mine opinion,) i also do, and lets follow with both nimrod and lillefot, they are just good friends which i can walk sober though the streets with!(don't take the last seriously!) B) and then there is (212st time or something) mumbling! my big sister where i can find shelter if i screw things up! not that i made use of that, but whatever!

B)
