I't nice to see that another experienced BB user is around to help those of us who are still learning.
You are right about that other site, the GURUS there are mostly condesending to the newbies, or they all seem to get together to have a good laugh at the poor guys expense, and may god help you if you don't search enough before posting.
This site is better organized and most of the answers you need are in one place, in threads they stickied just for that purpose. Everyone seems to help with even basic questions, and the mid level experienced members (less than 100 posts) don't seem to fear being Flame Sprayed by the gurus if they try to help the newbies with there basic questions.
Welcome, and I hope you like it here as much as I do.
We can all thank CrackBerry Kevin for creating, supporting and maintaining that atmosphere.
So here's our resolution CrackBerry Forum Nation......
As a community, let's keep it helpful and friendly in the forums for 2009.
At CrackBerry.com we take pride in keeping these forums very open. If you've been here a while you've probably noticed this yourself. We don't want the forums to be a police state where you need to be scared to post something for fear of getting banned by a moderator.
At the same time, posting on this forum is not a right... it's a privilege that's granted when you register here and agree to the terms and conditions, which include following the forum rules and guidelines, including our rules for General Member Conduct, which I'll post right here:
Glad you found us Steph, or RE found us as the case may be, as I noticed your join date was 2008. Hope you decide to become a regular CBer this time around.
Yea we are pretty welcoming and good at helping each other, and we have a funny bone too.
Glad you like it here. It is a great place with great people.
Living in Waterloo? Home of RIM? Cool, so you're giving everyone a free BB for being so nice? lol
They throw them out like candy at the Santa Claus parade every year jk. I do have a few friends who work for RIM though, so it's nice to get their opinion on build qualities, etc before I buy new phones

Oh yes, I've been around the forums awhile, I just never wanted to post until I knew enough about Blackberries that I had something valuable to contribute. After helping a friend (who is RIM employee) with a software issue, I thought it was probably okay to start posting

Having my first BB almost a year now, I've found CB to be very helpful and the forum contributors to be friendly and able to direct me in the right direction whenever I've had a question.
Yay, a happy thread!
How many CrackBerry users are there? How big a circle could we make if we all joined hands and sang a happy song? That would be awesome!
