How many Hamilton forumers are out there? How many forumers living outside Hamilton visit here regularly? Lurkers and regulars alike, it's time to be counted!

Watch out. This place can suck you in if you're not careful.

i've just joined recently, after lurking around for a while, i'm still mostly a lurker.

Go leafs go which program are you in? i'm steelcityhab from hfboards

go_leafs_go02 · #7 Posted **Jan 30, 2008, 9:27 PM**

i'm in transportation engineering...

and i kinda have no plans of getting sucked in..the more i know about this city the less i want to live here..and ppl back home (london) whenever they find out i'm living in hamilton, they always wrinkle their nose, and the first words that come out of their mouths usually is : "Do you like living there?"

haha...oops, my screen jumped just as I was making my choice. I clicked "hamiltonian in spirit".
In reality I'm a Hamilton forumer AND I have no idea what I'm doing!

Every time I come to SSP, this is the first section I check. Then I check the photo section for a new thread from flar. Then I go to debate with people in the Canada forum

I'm fairly certain ours is one of the best used SSP: Local's on the site. Toronto's is very rarely used, even though they have multitudes more projects to talk about.

go_leafs_go02 · #10 Posted **Jan 30, 2008, 9:45 PM**

I think that's cause Toronto is busy on SSC. Why have two sites discussing the exact same content.

flar · #11 Posted **Jan 30, 2008, 9:50 PM**

There's also the excellent urbantoronto.ca

My out-of-town friend's were like that but I showed them some of the more interesting aspects of the city and now they think it's cool. One time a couple I know from Windsor actually came up early while my wife and I were working so they could shop downtown!?!

Hi, my name is David and I'm a SSP:Local ADDICT! :s

SteelTown · #14 Posted **Jan 31, 2008, 4:09 PM**

Welcome brother, welcome to the club. lol

fastcarsfreedom · #15 Posted **Jan 31, 2008, 9:47 PM**

In spirit only. Born in 70s at St. Joe's, grew up in the burbs and left town for school (and for good) in 1994. When I finished school I came back (1998) and stayed for 10 months--lived in Westdale, actually the only time I ever spent living in the city proper. Suburban Windsor area now.

the dude · #16 Posted **Jan 31, 2008, 9:52 PM**

anyone notice that we're kicking the crap outta the other forums in terms of threads and posts? totally sweet. we're nothing if not interesting here in the hammer.

fastcarsfreedom · #17 Posted **Jan 31, 2008, 10:01 PM**

the dude, I'll give you that much. My local forum is a well-lit cemetary most days...the Niagara spot I visit from time to time and it often lies dormant for MONTHS. You/we should all be proud of the Hamilton SSP Forum.

To make a shameless plug--a couple of good urban/metropolitan issues sites that I visit daily...visitors from afar are always welcome at both...

www.detroityes.com (Metro Detroit & Windsor Issues)
internationalmetropolis.com (Windsor/Essex County with tidbits from Michigan)

ww3vet · #19 Posted **Feb 1, 2008, 2:06 PM**

holymoly · #20 Posted **Apr 15, 2008, 2:10 PM**
