What sets OLB apart.....

[Luis Merlo]

Hello all !.....

I joined Overland Bound in early 2016 after watching a few YouTube clips ,like a lot of people i guess ?
That led me to checking out the forums, at that stage there were only a few Australians active and it has been so great to see the increase in interest from Australia and worldwide to date !

The Overlanding / Touring movement is growing worldwide to be sure...and we have all been involved in "pages", groups and other communities ...and in a short period of time..........well.......,you just want to leave ! due to the behavior, tone, mood etc.

I know the work that goes on "behind the scenes" on the Forums by a dedicated team,to maintain a balanced, friendly and enjoyable experience.
To be part of the team, (after all I'm just an "old bloke with a little car" ) is such an honor and having met @Michael on a few occasions...I know that 10k member count is not far off .

I just wanted to share my OLB experience thus far and to repeat that i am so glad I found this great community, which continues to blow my mind, on how approachable, friendly and ready to share it is !

Cheers for now

I second that sentiment! The Overland Bound community has proven to be one of the most welcoming and friendly group on the internet... at least in my experience! Thank you to all who work hard to keep this little corner of the internet amazing!

Nicely put Luis,

I must say I'm of the same opinion joining in 2016 as well,

There certainly is alot of hard work and effort put in by not only the OB staff & moderators but also the community itself - like with anything, you only get out what you put in,

As OB is growing in more international users & members this will only grow and hopefully continue to be a valuable resource for those who wish to participate

Very nicely said, its what I noticed when I started snooping around, and it why I decided to take the plunge.

There's no vehicle or equipment shaming. It's just help and friendliness from all.
