Hang around and make up your own mind.

Don’t use run-on sentences, however.

Welcome to Fluther.

The site is pretty good. It doesn’t crash nearly as often as it used to. It gets better as you get more used to it. This is actually a pretty good first question. I don’t think I’ve seen this one before.

On the other hand, a lot of the people here, and I would have to include myself, can be pretty cranky and obstreperous from time to time. Don’t rattle our cages too hard, and you should be able to walk out alive someday. We can always hope.

Are you able to ignore people that irritate you? If your answer is “yes”, then it’s a fantastic site.

Love your topic (“flutter”), by the way.

ZEPHYRA's avatar

Yes, the people are wonderful!

augustlan's avatar

I certainly like to think so. Welcome to Fluther! :)

ucme's avatar

If you’re not stupid enough to allow yourself to be irritated by faceless morons on the tinterwebz, then you should be fine, welcome & enjoy.

zensky's avatar

Yahoo questions is better.

On the other hand, you get to meet all kinds of weird people and learn new words like obstreperous.

glacial's avatar

The site is good. Field tested for quality.

@augustlan Oh Auggie, that’s so so shameless.:) (It just made me laugh)

@zensky I learned that word in Beavis and Butthead.

It traps people the way flypaper catches flies. I would leave while you have the chance. If you could take a message from me to the outside world I would be obliged.

It’s like most things – the quality that you get out of it is based on the quality that you put into it. (Proper spelling and grammar help.)

We like to call it ‘Hotel California’.

It depends on what you’re looking for. If you enjoy spirited conversations, with occasional cat-fights (luckily only occasional) witty repartee, discussions about food (and occasional food fights, literal and figurative) giving and receiving answers about all sorts or subjects under the sun, some simply informative, others profound, and some just down right funny, then you’ll probably like Fluther.

Just make sure to follow the guidelines, and if you have any problems you can ask the Moderation Team which can be accessed through the Help button at the top or the Contact button at the top or you can message our Community Leader (Augustlan) directly from her profile page and use the Message button. You can see that Here

So welcome to Fluther. Come on in, the water’s fine!

Blackberry's avatar

Yeah. It’s full of informative hot people.

Kardamom's avatar

^^ One of the hot people ; – )

augustlan's avatar

<< Shameless hot person. :p

Bellatrix's avatar

I’m a bit hot too – I think I have a temperature though….

If you’re all hot as well perhaps it’s a bug going around?

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

It might be fluther fever. :)

Kardamom's avatar

I’m hot too, or maybe it’s just hot flashes Oy!

CWOTUS's avatar

« is cool.

zensky's avatar

@Symbeline Teach me it – I still can’t pronounce it. Does it rhyme with precipous? And does one require a lisp to pronounce it correctly? Forsooth.

Berserker's avatar

Okay this is how it’s done…asbestos… in OBSTETRICS!!

Aaah I fucked up.

Kardamom's avatar

Where did the OP go? I hope he hasn’t gained an unfavorable opinion of us already.

glacial's avatar

Can’t say I’m one of the hot ones. :|

Buttonstc's avatar

@zensky

Hint: just think of Strep Throat. After that it’s all easy sailing :)

zensky's avatar

@Buttonstc I’ll skip the Strepsils thank you.

Keep_on_running's avatar

If you’ve taken the step to ask this question, you probably already think it is.

FutureMemory's avatar

@Blackberry Yeah. It’s full of informative hot people.

I don’t know about the men, but I know for a fact this site is crawling with hot womenz >:)~

edit: Oh, I do know that BB is hot. If I were gay I’d totally make a play for his hot ass.

It depends on what you’re looking for, which you didn’t describe. Fluther is one of the better sites for deep philosophical discussions and decent moderation. However if you prefer a site which allows users to cowardly attack others without the fear of being modded or booted out than this site isn’t for you.

This site’s userbase is mostly liberal, sceptical and atheistic and I’m probably more conservative than the majority are on here, and I’m a theist. Personally I wasn’t looking for a site where everyone agrees with my views, but a place where I could debate issues without the fear of being trolled or harrassed. Fluther really is its own thing, and I know many diehard liberals who wouldn’t like it here. If you ignore the few aholes on here and can spell decently you should like it here.
