Hi, I am an occasional user of your forum, and am curious how people will react to the question: Do You Consider This To Be A Friendly Community? It wouldn't take long to find examples of both the good and bad, so let's keep it simple.
Questions: In general, do you think Bitcointalk.org is a friendly place, and/or would you be really comfortable telling close friends (offline, in the real world) that they should come here and sign up?
If you have the patience to tolerate positive criticism then I think you will find the bitcointalk forum to be the friendliest community in all the crypto ethustian forums. In the beginning when I was newbie about the cryptocurrency and the forum also the members of this community give me the source in the topic and also my local mates of this community helped me a lot in my personal chat, I think the suggestions and advice they gave me I could not have bought with money. So this forum is definitely a friendly forum.
And the rest you have already got answered by the Charles-Tim, so if you are a crypto enthusiast person this forum is definitely friendly for you.
