Asalamwalaikum,
Well i joined recently myself. I did consider joining Ummah.com. I'm sure that website is good also. I prefer this forum though. The conversations appear indepth and there seem to be some very knowledgeable posters here. Most of the time, i'm not actually posting, i'm just reading the massive wealth of knowledge contained within old posts/threads.
I think if there are flaws in this forum. They are our flaws. If there are mistakes, they are our mistakes. I cannot expect this website to conform to what my nafs desires, especially if i haven't invested any time or effort myself into creating this site.
Alhumdullilah, even when i wasn't practicing this site was here. Even when i did nothing, this site was here. Even when i was doing other things, this site was here. And slowly but surely it was developing. So when i clicked on this site for the first time, it had half a million posts, and you know within those half a million posts, there are some incredible gems.

ps. I especially enjoy the fact that though in 'real life', i'm known as a knowledgeable guy, in matters of secular knowledge. Here I feel like a 4 year old in school for the first time. That is an incredible check on my nafs, it practically forces humility upon me.
