It’s the fact that it’s local so the vast majority of the guys feel as if they are just sitting around the table bs’ing, drinking some beers and busting balls/poking fun at each other as most have seen each other in person at some point or another or are only two degrees of separation.

We are a forum where members are allowed to be relaxed and every week is a causal Friday where you can express yourself how you want instead of having to put on a suit and a tie and go in, just to blend.

Those that stick around and get to know the guys, have a good time and enjoy the humor, those that surf through without looking into it, see it as a silly show.

Similarity can be made to a TV show where unless you know the characters and their back story it just seems stupid, but once you get into it, it’s the greatest thing you ever watched.
