Walton Sun SoWal.com Article

Very cool! Great article and great subject matter. Kurt, you should be so proud of this site. It's like a "home away from home" for so many of us who can't get to the beach as often as we'd like!

:clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: and welcome to the board WaltonSunDave. I was just talking about this message board today to someone in our wintery town in Michigan and was saying how wonderful SoWal.com is -- it has provided information, humor, comfort during tragedies, and advice of all kinds. I was telling my friend that an anthropology or sociology academic should do a study on how this virtual community developed and became such a wonderful place in which the relationships are so special. I feel lucky to be a part of this place!

Thanks Dave!

Do the police reports count?

fyi - out of towners - the newspaper version includes an image of the message board front page (forums) and a big sowal sticker! :clap_1:

I think the article was very well written and an excellent introduction to sowal.com. there are some things that are just hard to represent in a short article though - such as how the board is represented by people from so many parts of the country with diverse backgrounds and a pretty wide range of ages. south walton is the common ground. but the community encompasses so much more.

I was proud to read all about it! glad they didn't mention the PCake thread though... tee hee. although its a perfect example of how we all came together to help out a fellow sowaller who needed to find a special local baker, and how we all got to be witness to a very happy and successful ending (bachelorette party at Red Bar, complete with photos of party and cake, and a printed book of the thread presented to the lucky bachelorette)...

with 600+ people on the message board right now (on a Saturday), the article has reached a few people.

Why do you spell funn with two n's?

Why do you spell funn with two n's?

Because of our funn girls...jessifunn, kimmifunn, whiteyfunn....the orginal funn girls. ;-)

SOWAL finally got the positive publicity and credit it deserves.
Great article!
Thank you Walton Sun.

Why do you spell funn with two n's?

you better go study that funn thread. wherever it is...

skunkape - do you know the answer to this important sowal question, when you happen to meet a sowaller? how do you spell funn?

:clap_1: :clap_1: Fantastic article...now I can share with my friends who do not understand this place I visit. No axe murderers here.

Kurt you certainly do deserve lots of credit! :clap_1:
