I had been a member of this forum for a good two years. I don't usually participate in these forums, I am what they call a "Lurker", a member that does not post or contribute anything but reads and try to get as much information possible from the source forums. There are literally thousands maybe even millions of forums on the Net today, but I usually frequent cellphone and games forums for those occasional tips and cheats we can get to advance in a game or some new apps for our cellphones.
But I finally found a forum that really got my interest, and what's worst was I abandoned all my shyness and began to participate, to the point of even joining EBs (EyeBall = meet ups) among members. And what is this forum all about? It's about Home Entertainment, movies to be more specific and from there a whole slew of sub forums like home theater speakers, amplifiers, players and etc. comes into play. The forum is called Pinoy DVD, its 24/7 DVD and HD Talk!
I have met members from all walks of life because of this forum. Young, old, working men, students, overseas workers, lawyers, doctors, you name it the forum's got it, and all because of every member's love for movies and home theater. Logging into the forum has become second nature to me. A day without visiting just make a day not right, my wife actually complains about this. That's why I was really happy and honored when they offered me a moderating role in the forum, and as these things go, a Moderator's role is to keep the peace among members, make sure the threads/topics are neat and and not cluttered, and of course to participate. It does not pay anything mind you, but seeing all the members appreciate what I do is reward enough. I have been moderating for the past almost six months, and I am really happy with it.
Anyway, anybody whose reading this, feel free to sign up and join in the fun. And before I forget, our Marketplace is one of the most versatile marketplace in the Net. Brand new and pre-owned home theater related stuff at bargain prices. That alone is worth the membership.
