Nicely chosen well-balanced choices. Each of us three do try to keep our discussions grounded. Congrats to my two fellow sub-forum mods. :)

Excellent choices! Good to see now we have 2 girls onboard. Never thought I'd see it. I'm a fan of djr81 and hannibal also.

Geoff is being humble about it, I'm just his technician flunky.  ;)

Perfect timing.  The outlet my router was pluuged into went out.  My internet and phone was out because of it.  I tried another outlet today, and it's working.  

I think it's good that each of the subsections should have their own individual moderator.

Congratulations everyone!

Iguana has been appointed Mod for the Instincto forum as he's been doing Instincto for ages(22 years?!). We should in the long run have all forums moderated by mods as we originally planned at the start.

(22 years?!)
Since January 1987, so that's a little more than 23 years without dairy and cereals (except for small amounts of soaked rice sometimes) nor anything processed, mixed, cooked. Overall I have found it easy and very pleasant and  that's probably the main reason I've been able to go on for so long. I think it's very important to enjoy eating as much as possible; it must be very difficult to follow any diet if one doesn't enjoy it.

Thanks Geoff and Phil !

Hey Tyler. Who started this forum? Also, did they start it on their own, or did they already know some other rawpaleos with whom they started it jointly?

I remember it was Tyler / Geoff and Craig who started this forum.

I bow to old timers and thanks to people like you we are here. Thanks Geoff. If I had perfect information back then I'd have been on some form of RPD asap.  

I've just been on RPD since Jan 2008 and I just cannot find a reason why I should stop since I'm enjoying my newfound health so much.  Probably at this stage the improvements I'm getting have yet to plateau.

Craig and I had the idea, initially, we had a number of people also contributing their ideas such as Satya, Lex and GS who were already members of the rawpaleodiet yahoo group. You see the original rawpaleodiet yahoo group was a rather limited forum, as there was no freedom of  expression - as there was only 1 forum, one couldn't post about off-topic stuff or about controversial info or humorous non-rpd posts or whatever, as not everyone was interested in that sort of thing and naturally didn't want their inboxes filled with posts they weren't interested in.Plus, I was uncomfortable with the difficulty in finding previous posts - here on RPF, the search-function isn't exactly ideal, but since the posts are split into 20-odd forums each focused on different subjects, it's much  easier to find the right past threads. Plus, this forum has a far more attractive layout, allowing images and videos to be sent etc..

Congrats to all,

Thanks to all and especially Tyler and Craig for starting this forum. It is wonderful to be able to talk about this subject especially for newbies. The advice has been invaluable and ultimately will allow this lifestyle to continue and grow which I am guessing was the original intent.

You are right about Yahoo groups being difficult at best.
Thanks again

Alan

Not really as regards finding some of the old posts on rawpaleoforum.

Thanks Dan, the same to Ioanna and you ! Thank you also to the others and especially to Tyler and Good Samaritan for this very interesting forum. Let’s act together to maintain friendly and civil manners in such a way that it remains always a pleasure to read the other’s posts and contribute: we are not here to insult each other. The subject of nutrition unleashes great passions, but it should never be a reason to be harsh and rude when we disagree.

Best wishes
Francois

I wholeheartedly agree. :)
