I'm a big time lurker, I haven't stamped in months, but I really like the close knit community here. I've participated in a few swaps and hope to do some more when I get a little more organized. I don't mind paying the $12, this sites atmosphere is super nice and you don't see spammers or negativity/bashing like on others I've frequented. I really like the set up with the swap board, templates and easy access to addy's if you want to RAK someone.
