Hello,
It's hard not to repeat what all other members have already indicated.
Personally, I remember when I joined and started posting my first attempts at imaging.
I often found myself explaining to other friends and people at work etc. how I had discovered this online community which was a truly unique place for me.
While I work in an environment with lots of challenges, personal tragedies, interpersonal conflicts,etc., I often would tell colleagues of this community that seemed a totally positive environment for me.
People supporting and encouraging each other. People helping total strangers including one person, who didn't know me from a bar of soap at the time, even offering to and then traveling very long distances at personal expense to personally come and help me out, on site, when I was struggling with the steep learning curve. Needless to say I made a good friend through IIS.
IceInSpace has been my personal positive refuge, my regular small reminder that there is good in the world.
