Hi Everyone!
This probably belongs in the General Discussion section, but I'm posting it in the Beginner's Bootcamp area to increase the number of people who see it. So many of our members come in, make one post, and then disappear, and we need to see what can be done to fix that.
First, a little background - I found out about Forex Bastards (the original name of this website) when I first started studying forex and was looking for some reviews on brokers. I really liked what Felix had written on the website and signed up for his email trading signals. Not too long after that, Felix and his team created this forum and eventually renamed it to be the Forex Peace Army.
By that time, I had signed up for a number of other forums, but I've done the majority of my posting here. The reason is that, unlike many of the other forums, this place seems a lot friendlier, and since it's smaller, it is easier for a new person to make a difference. Felix and his team have done a great job keeping spam and trolls to a minimum here, and I like that.
Another reason I've spent so much time here is that I believe that the FPA can become an incredible power for monitoring both the good and bad aspects of brokers and other providers of forex related products. As we all know, weeding out the good from the bad can be very challenging.
An additional reason (ok, I do tend to go on a bit) is that forex is something of a solitary pursuit for those of us who don't hang out in trading rooms. Therefor, in a way I think of all of my fellow traders here as my coworkers, and this forum is the office's break room.
Thus, I'll finally try to get to my main point (and there was MUCH rejoicing):
What else would the other members like to see here?
