Hey Andy,

I used to visit the site coolavenues.com till CAT'02 ...

The forum of coolavenues is one place I used to visit and wonder do the IIMs produce grads like that

I must add at this point, I have seen very few forums where a community feeling is so strongly present in every member ... I am not sure how and when it was achieved ... but well, in my opinion, this very feeling is the success formula of pg.com ... mayb PG can say more abt this magic in his own way

I've been at dozens of forums and here I got a chance to prove what a community is capable of and here we are

Most importantly its the members who make all the difference. People have stood by the forum, advertised it .. worked on a common goal and stayed online 24/7 to make this the place to be.

Plus its a community. All decisions for expansions, redesigning, upgrades, bans, sub forums were done right here in front of everyone. I'm proud of the fact that I was able to almost implement EACH and every valid addition that everyone wanted done here.

And yes, we had a lot of fun doing it

guess thats one of the main reasons for the success of the forums..... i've seen many board admins either have a hands-off approach or jut into every other posting with their do's n don'ts.....but pg's approach in involving the forum members in all issues is probably THE reason..... it also has a lot to do with the kinda ppl that the forum is attracting, i mean not many sleepers around......ppl do actually take the time out to post their .02 ......

Well, I was this member of the yahoo group and then one day, some one called Pagalguy posts, saying "this is a slow unidirectional site, hard to access any post , what say? I start up a forum where all like minded people are one "

No one replied to that post. And two days later Hey Presto in walks Allwin PAgalguy and says " I have a hot site up, just need hotter people to make it happen"

And one day, I wandered into the forum and have never left since (though this is a post from me in a long time)

Kudos to PG though, one heck of a forum , one heck of an administrator ... er administrators, Aishya included. And man!! one heck of a crowd.

lovely being here.

HI Allwin,
I was surfing yahoogroups website on a cold December morning for jokes etc. I then typed CAT and out popped lots of groups. I signed up with cat2k2 and imsindore. And somewhere in the links section i saw your website. I took one look at the webpage and the posts here and decided to sign up. Besides, the overall layout, design and colors were pretty good.
I thought it was a pay site (something of this quality would definitely be pay!!!), I got my credit card out and then was pleasantly surprised to learn that it was free.
Since then i have enjoyed posting and reading the posts here.

Great going Allwin.
