      Yes, I am Happy at HubPages. I found it be intriguing, fantastic, exciting, friendly and many other things. I've met more nice people on HubPages, than at any other time in my life.
      
      Which isn't saying a lot about the people I have met.

            Well, I have met alot of people offline versus online and the people offline for which I've had dealings with or just know, are not as helpful, courteous or knowledgeable. So, that makes HubPages community quite special, in all.

   I have made my peace with the non-writing-related nonsense that influences scores so, yes, I love Hubpages.
   Do I take issue with the hubbers who flagged me behind my back and brought under the scrutiny of the admin?  Yes, of course.
   It seems like tattling is a childish way of trying to silence someone you cannot otherwise win over in a debate.
   Still, now that I have been flagged so much I know much more about specific limits and will not be so vulnerable to that kind of attack in the future.

      WSP, I did read that you felt people had maliciously reported you, but remember that even if someone had malicious intent, your Hubs wouldn't be flagged or unpublished by HubPages if they met the site's TOS.
      
      If they were in breach, you would have been noticed eventually anyway, possibly after you'd written a lot more Hubs, which would've been even more annoying for you.
      
      Please bear in mind that HubPages rules about profanity, adult content etc are set by Adsense, not by HP. If you breach them, you jeopardise both your own Adsense earnings and everyone else's, so you're not going to get much sympathy from anyone who understand how the site works.

   HubPages is a great place to me, for an online writing community. Some of the hubs are super and there are many hubbers I truly admire. These things keep me here
     Now the forums...The exchanging of ideas and sharing of experiences is always of interest. I only wish more people could differ with a fellow hubber civilly. There is a pack mentality that shreds not only the hubber of disenting opinion, but also the integrity of those attacking.
     HubPages is part of my happiness in life

    I like the people here, they all come in different forms but they have all something to share, I like the forums too, I learn a lot from people, and I respect what everybody has to say,
    In the religious forum too, I am amused by the people defending their belief and the never ending quest for knowledge and truth about justification of a existential GOD< people in the religious forum always have what I call "masturbation of their minds" (pardon for that word), wacking theor heads off just to defend their beliefs, and in the process I think they end up being sad..

    I'm happy with HubPages.  The reason is that it's an uncomplicated situation here.  You write.  There's help if you want/need it with anything.  The focus in something like the "help" forum is most often on technical aspects of using HubPages or else things like SEO - not usually on things like how to use commas.  People can like your stuff or not, or vote it up or down or not.  Writers are treated like adults here, and we aren't getting mass-mailing e.mails with tips on how to write.  It's not all "games and contests" here.  The community is a great community.  (Nobody has to take the occasional forum meany or troll seriously, and those aren't most of the people on here anyway).

       In another thread (one with - like - 800 posts in it  )  you'll see that Tantrum did a test to see if a sexy picture would increase traffic.  She said it did, so then "the rest of the world" all jumped on the bandwagon to get their own "scientific results" (or just to have an excuse to add a half-naked picture - not sure).     So, your observation is correct.
