I actually was a member on UKMix first. It was the first forum I had ever been on. It was cool, it was fun, but it had a lot of times when it was boring. Nobody was posting and of course, as you could expect, it was very European biased. So I looked for an American based forum, with no luck. Luckily, I found ATRL through a Wikipedia source

. I signed up and within a month or so, I was hooked. Through ATRL, I found Pulse, and now I regularly go on Pulse and ATRL. As you can tell by my post count, I'm addicted to ATRL way more than Pulse, but they're both great. I do get a more laid-back feel on ATRL, though. I hardly ever go on UKMix now.
