A nice thing about BiggerPockets

[Brendan O'Brien]

I've also been part of a sailing forum, a rotorcraft one, a bunch of tech forums, and one for new dads. Here is one thing I've noticed about BP.

You almost never see what I call an "orphan post" - where somebody posts a question and nobody else even tries to answer it. I'm sure this is in part because of the number of users. But it's also because BP users are basically nice people, We wouldn't let some newbie with a question sit out there feeling stupid and friendless.

While I'm on the subject, you also never see the "you're a nazi/you should die" style of response here. I'm sure occasionally those do get in and have to be booted by Josh or others. But they must be quite rare. In the sailing forum, people were always flaming each other - and we were talking about boats - hardly something that should cause high high tempers.

Go Bigger Pockets!
