The only forum more toxic than Pinside that I have been in is the Lego forum Eurobricks... these guys sit like crouching tiger, hidden dragon waiting to jackboot the throat of a newbie on their first post. If there ever was a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than pinheads on pinside, its Legalomaniacs from Europe... had to bow out of that forum, these guys and gals are always ready for a knife fight when it comes to forum rules, moderator over reach, and cronyism and favoritism. And dont even get me started on the length of their noses which they love to stare down at you as they read you the riot act and the bible all in the same breath. Now as for friendly and don't give a damn, the radio control forums seem like some of the most laid back ones I have visited.
