How'd you find CookingForums?

[Tyler]

So you managed to find this site, find the register area, sign up, and create an account. Now the question is, how did you find us? http://www.movieforums.org/images/smilies/smile.gif

Another website? A search engine? Word of mouth perhaps?

It helps us to know how to best utilize our marketing endeavors :)

Thanks!

[KAYLINDA]

I just searched for "cooking forums". By the way...Your site is very attractive. I can tell it's fairly new...so will try to stop by several times a week to see if I can add anything. Keep up the good work!

I just searched "cooking forums" as well because it is what I was looking for. I really like your design of the site it makes your stay here more enjoyable. How new is this site?

This place makes me hungry!

[NOCHEF&JUSTLOVESFOOD.YUM]

Now wait a minute, LOL I might be 57, but I AM a male LOL

And i found it doing a web search. But go to Google and type in "cooking forums" and see how far down the hit list we are. Maybe need to expand the search parameters?

BTW, I love the site.

[Semigourmet]

Welcome Kaylinda. I too found this site by typing in "cooking Forums" in my browser bar.

[letevic]

i googled "cooking+forums".

i love the skin of this site, but if i may say, the red background hurts my eyes a little so can't stay here too long.

i've read that green is better for your sight (more relaxing).

other than that it's a great forum, just not very active.

[Shafston]

I typed in "Cookery Forum" into Google, that did the trick.

[Liketobake]

Welcome to the forum Shafston. Look forward to hearing from you:D

[Spiritwolf]

I just Googled "COOKING FORUMS ", and Hey Presto, Im Here.:D

[Big Daddy's House]

I also just Googled new cooking forums to join.

After a while, I no longer liked the one that I was with any more,which was DiscussCooking.com. I ended up hating it!!! I don't like the way that it's being run. I just didn't want to be there any more!

I had just became so sick and tired of it because it became very biased and controversial, just kept on verbally abusing me, making me a verbal assault magnet and accusing me of making blanket statements and treated me like crap, plus there are way too many bullcrap restrictions, so I left that one and I went on a hunt for a new cooking forum through Google to join and found THIS one.

So glad to be here!!

[Liketobake]

Nice to have you here:D

[Big Daddy's House]

Thanks!

[mentos]

I'm happy to be here

Welcome, Mentos!!

[ymget]

Hi,

I'm a mother of 3 and an English Teacher in Israel.

I found this site when I was surfing to promote my own site http://successful-cooking.info, (hope that plugs ok!)

I started my site because after 10 years of living with a chef, I realised that cooking professionally was a whole new dimension to anything I had understood previously. I wanted to share all the things I had learnt over the years.

BTW I notice you don't have a thread for people to introduce themselves!

Mandy

[Liketobake]

Welcome to the forum ymget :) There is an introduction thread in the off topic section.

[jenniferlee]

I found this forum from google. Does anyone know, what is the other website forum like this?

[Hang0ver]

I did a google search for cooking forums

[Big Daddy's House]

Of all the cooking forums that I've been a member of, I think that THIS one and CookingJunkis.com are the best ones so far. NCT, I'm still testing their waters.

The other ones that I thought were good ones weren't! I've left those ones, either by being banned, or I just never went back to them because they made me feel so blasted uncomfortable and unwelcome there.

One thing about me; I NEVER go where I'm not welcome.

[neonle]

i got it from my brother and i like to post in this site

[Big Daddy's House]

I'm so glad that you do!

Much better than the Happy Valley.

[Big Daddy's House]

I went back and logged into FNF just to see if I can edit my posts, and found out that those assholes there STILL friggen won't let me edit my posts, so I left them again!!

[Starliteny]

I also found it on Google.

[Kimchee]

gooogle.

[homecook]

A friend told me about the site so I thought I'd check it out.

[Chowhound]

I remembered the site from Sherm's sig on another forum, before he had to remove it, lol.

[Big Daddy's House]

So glad that you're ALL here!

[Max Sutton]

I used GOOGLE to find this forum and a few other cooking forums that I visit daily.

[Big Daddy's House]

I found it through Google as well.

[Tyler]

Yeah, we're #2 on Google for "cooking forums" ;)

[Big Daddy's House]

Yeah, we're #2 on Google for "cooking forums" ;)



That's GOOD!! Hopefully, we've surpassed DC!!!

[Chowhound]

It sure doesn't hurt have a cooking forum named cooking forums, as that is what a lot of people do a search on when looking for cooking forums...

;^)

[samue1eb]

I searched for cooking forums on google.

[Big Daddy's House]

One of the other forums, I left for good today!

It was FoodNetworkFans.com.

Went there and found out that they are still playing their childish games - treating me like a child and not letting me edit my own posts. Slick little friggen game they are playing! To keeo me from ever being able to edit my posts. I don't feel the least bit welcome there any more, as they made me feel very uncomfortable & unwelcome there!!

So I sent a pm to one of the admins and blew up at them, letting them know how I felt and I told them that I was never coming back there again!!!

I told them Goodbye!!

[LDSmominthekitchen]

instead of google i used "good search" its a search engin that donates to your charity/orginisation for each search done. (I use it to help my daughter special needs preschool) anyway i just searched for: food forums, i found epicourios (sp?) but for some reason wasnt able to register there, so i went back to the search page and found this one.

Google also practices Philanthropy. Check out http://www.google.org/ and http://www.google.org/googlers.html.

[robyn]

Hi everyone, I'm actually doing an internet course at the moment and finding a forum on a topic that interests you was part of the homework. So I did a Google seach and this forum was first on the list...so here I am!LOL. However, now that I am here, it looks like I'm going to stay!

[Nicole]

I found cookingforums through the Merendi site :)

[Big Daddy's House]

After becoming very increasingly disgusted with DC and getting banned from there for ungodly reasons, I joined here after having Googled the forum.

[topsy]

With respect ..........I beg to differ the cleeshay is every think in moderation.

A bit of what you fancy does you good .okay! topsy

[Big Daddy's House]

After being unfairly banned from forums like DC, SP & CL, I found THIS forum to be the much better one. Even before that!!!

FNF is another Happy Valley, where they made me feel so unwelcome there. I left there and never went back. Like DC, they've become real clowns over there and the board is excessively moderated! You can't say a thing about politics or children!! They started closing and deleting some of my posts and threads because I talked about children!!

One mod there said that to know a child actor was creepy!! Now since when is it supposedly creepy to know child actors?!!!!! I grew up watching shows like Leave it to Beaver, Diff'rent Strokes, My Three Sons, Facts of Life and The Munsters, and later, as well as others, That's So Raven, Suite Life of Zak & Cody. Everyone knew the cast members in those shows. They got judgemental when I mentioned famous people like Gary Coleman, Kyle Massey, Daylon Trotman and Bobb'e J. Thompson, who are all child actors and famous!!

They began accusing me of being some kind of blasted pervert or something!!! That is why I left there and never went back there! No, I wasn't banned from there, I just never went back there. I don't like them any more.

They also stopped me from being able to edit my own posts!!! And then they started playing games like they don't know who did it!!

Anyone who flat-out accuses me of being a pervert, pedophile or a child molster, or even assumes that I might be one, they are no friends of mine!! Those are some of the most horrible things that you can be called by idiots like them!!!

How can a forum that doesn't even know you accuse you of something that you're not?!! A crime that's so horrible & repulsively sick!!!

They've gotten so blasted judgemental, biased and put so much defamation out on me that I want nothing else to do with them at all!!

[Big Daddy's House]

Yeah, I HATE when people do that to me!!

I've run into people like that on Facebook as well. They are so blasted biased judgemental that it's so ridiculous!!

[Big Daddy's House]

Facebook is almost similar to Twitter.

It's a website where you can meet and talk with other members. You can also meet people for possible dating.

But there are also biased sterotypes, cowards, bullys and judgemental members there as well!
The ones like that, I block, so that they can't harass, tourment, bully or bother you at all. The world is chock full of morons & idiots!!!!

[natt12321]

Woah now, you've just completely put down an entire continent as being angry.

As much as some europeans don't know a whole lot about america, it would seem you all don't know so much about europe either. And what makes the french any worse than anyone else? Where have your opinions formed from to make you so much better than the europeans you are complaining about.

[natt12321]

Being European, I find what you've just said very closed minded. I've spent time in many parts of Europe and and also in your country. You can be proud of your country, that's fine (although one thing that does gripe us brits who know your history, is that you think you are different from us. You ARE us. War of independence... it was essentially Brits against Brits, we never gave Americans independence, we gave our own people independence. /Rant) but to say that your people are more friendly than the rest of the world is really quite offensive to the rest of the world.

I have come across many childish Americans, the issue I came across on this very forum was not dealt with well and a part of that came down to the fact that I was being told I didn't know anything about you both when in actual fact you didn't know the first thing about me. That's not exactly admirable behaviour.

Europeans can be feisty, they can be just as childish as other people (including Americans), but they can also be just as lovely as anyone else. They are entitled to be proud about what they want also. And from my experience some of your issues probably come from over reactions and miss understandings on both parts.

When on an international forum you have to remember that people from different countries/continents are from different worlds pretty much. Some things just have to be taken with a pinch of salt and not retaliated against.

Just my tuppence.

[Big Daddy's House]

Most of those forums out there, put simply, just wait for you to cross their imaginary line. Then they start attacking you from all angles.

[EriAuLait]

I, like so many others in here, google'd "cooking forums" and up popped this one. It looked cozy and warm and inviting. So, here I am.
:)

[natt12321]

Please grow up, I believe more and more as I interact with you that it is not everyone else that is the problem.

[Big Daddy's House]

You might wish to consider taking a break from THIS part of the board and concentrate on another section. Before things get too heated.
