A great group of moderators, who keep the conversational ball rolling with fun topics, Sally.Plus, the ficus.

Y'all definitely keep the good topics coming.
Everyone here seems to be open and friendly. I never see anyone here ridicule each other, like people often do on message boards, we're all respectful. I think that's a big part of it. Also, you all seem to be of above average intelligence...even the plants!
an unusual blend of smart witty people who have a broad worldview and backgroundsplus books. maybe

But now not only has it been around for a year and a half (nearly) but it'..."I tried not to have any expectations in the early days, honestly, and I don't want to jinx anything, but I think the fact TC is a collective effort plays a role. I hope people feel a sense of shared ownership. We all keep TC going. It wouldn't work any other way.
Like Jamie said, I think people are usually respectful but still comfortable enough to disagree. Not that we haven't fought, but that's the exception, not the rule. And there's also an unwritten rule that if some jackass came in and tried to ruin the place we'd rise up and kick some butt.
I also want to thank Jim for going out of his way to acknowledge new people. Posting on a board with 500+ members takes guts, and Jim esp. makes sure the new people don't get lost in the mix.
I really do appreciate, not as a moderator, but as a person who comes here to exchange ideas and have fun, all that people contribute. I consider you my friends, and I humbly thank you for letting me hang out in your presence. I mean that.
Thanks for allowing me to feel less alone in the world.
Beautiful, RA! I was a long time lurker, but that was because of lack of time. This place makes me laugh, and I've always enjoyed visiting!
Thanks for the acknowledgement RA.
The success really does start with the moderators, then extends to each and everyone with the courteous manner in which we treat each other.

plus most of us on here are bored out of our minds just sitting in our cells waiting for rec time or exercise in the courtyard while we study our acquittal strategy and listen to jorge our cuban cellmate sing like lena horne
We don't discuss that aspect of TC, Kevin.

Precision scooting is what makes it good.
You start topics with questions that sound like you're interested in what everyone thinks. That makes people want to post. You always acknowledge new people.
You 86 people who seriously screw up the vibe.
i learned a new word today. who would have thought it would be 86.
Means we're all out of it. As in,"86 the liver and onions."

all i know is code 13 14 and 15 for gay cute and ugly, but i always forget which is which.
they are probably not 'official' codes, but something one of my gay co-workers made up to rate customers.
if your co-worker ever see's me please do not tell me my ratings
what? the word see's is not right is it?
Mod
*writhes*
now that, was not intentionally done to stir up the pregnant lady. that was a combination of ignorance and speed typing
Psst... you might want to get rid of that first comma in message 37, Kevin. You're going to send her into premature labor.
dangit. i was going to go with my greatly overused elipsis but i figured that would get skewered too
I misread message 40, and thought you were talking about your greatly oversized elipsis, which sounded dirty.
I remembered another thing I like. I think many TCers watch patterns and make sure that, for example, someone doesn't post a couple comments and get ignored.
What do you think is the reason for our success?
