You can learn more about people on forums than if you actually did know them, as they tend to open up more, and tell you things they'd never mention to the family.

The Win2Win is a 'family' with a lot of folk having been on there for years (sad I know ), and most will publish there problems on the forum rather than ask family/friends. That way they get widespread help, rather than the sympathetic help family give, usually saying only what you want to hear.

A lot of folk have been on here years....and plenty of going on in the background
