    Why I love HEXUS...

    Post your reasons why you love HEXUS.

    Mine are:
    * Because HEXUS.tv has some hilarious stuff such as driving an APC over a memory stick.
    * Because everyone is so friendly (including the admins )

    I have more but then I'd probably ruin the thread by mentioning everything

    Post your reasons!

    Re: Why I love HEXUS...

    I like Hexus since it has the perfect balance between serious discussion and fun banter without going to much towards "ps3 suks xbox rox". I guess the general habit of observing rules of etiquette and the English language really helps.

    For an online forum i sure do know a fair few members in real life, but its always been the balanced and self regulating attitude that has kept me here.

    Re: Why I love HEXUS...

    The fact that it feels so relaxed and the balance of what we can and can't do is just right, unlike a certain other forum I know that if you so much as breath you get into trouble for it. Not only that but the motors section here is a lot more pleasent place to stop buy and post for help and advice.

    Re: Why I love HEXUS...

    Site: Excellent reviews that give the option to participate (right to reply). Whacky features (tested to destruction).

    Forum: For me, it's the friendly, relaxed manner in which we can discuss practically any subject that's not limited to technology. It's just a great place to hang out when taking a break from programming. For an added bonus we can have our Scan orders delivered for free.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.
