Hey, @pak23uk.

Oh, okay. Six months. Yeah, I've seen English Bulldogs. The ones I've seen aren't nearly as lively or good looking as yours is, so maybe I need to look into French Bulldogs. :)

Ah, the hard fork. Yes, we're still trying to recuperate from that. First one for most of us here, since the last one was roughly 18 months ago. Apparently the first 19 took place in about a year's period of time, and witnesses weren't all that thrilled (and probably exchanges, too), with updating so regularly. This one was too big (the resource credits part of it was the main problem—it would have been a hassle by itself). However, since you're coming in with barely a few weeks in, you're in a good position, I think. You won't have to unlearn much of anything since you're still learning anyway. :) For once, not a bad spot to be in.

I think by and large, things are good here. Everyone has their issues with all kinds of things, but there are still people here to get along with and maybe even collaborate with. The platform isn't huge yet, which is probably good, but it does have a little bit of everything, and a lot for some things—art, photography, writing, being among them.
