Okay, I have been here on Active Rain for a long time. I am not one of the top bloggers, nor one of the non bloggers. I guess I am kind of in the middle.
When I first started..in 2006, there weren't many people here and there were changes constantly as Active Rain started growing and attracting different people across the country. The original founders of Active Rain are gone and a lot of the original bloggers are very quiet!
This was my quote originally about Active Rain and I still agree!
However, over the course of the years, Active Rain has morphed into something that is so useful for people in the Real Estate and mortgage industry, that it tends to be even more confusing than when it first started.
I am finally (after 4 years!!!!!) going to make my goal of 200,000 points. I am a late starter, but I always get to the finish line. I thought I would use this time as a plea to all here on Active Rain. (I used to plea all the time, but finally gave up)
For the sake of not only Active Rain, yourselves and anyone who wants to come here and learn, blog, take their business to the next level, or just lurk....Please keep the newbie group clear of listings and localism style posts.

UPDATED DUE TO COMMENTS CONTINUE TO POST TO LOCALISM, JUST DON'T PUT THEM IN THE NEWBIE GROUP SO THERE WILL BE ROOM FOR OTHER TYPES OF POSTS...(BTW, THIS TYPE OF FONT IS CONSIDERED YELLING:)

I like to go in and feature a post so someone can find it. It takes about four pages of browsing to even find a post that is possibly relevant! I hate complaining about this because it makes me feel like a mother talking to her children...and they are not listening!!
Okay, that's all I wanted to say besides the fact that Active Rain has actually done a lot for me as a person. I probably could be a better blogger with a little practice, but I am seriously very busy with my Clients that I suspect I would have never figured out how to get if not for Active Rain. I may not be a super Real Estate power, but my boutique Brokerage in Warwick Rhode Island (Stonehurst Realty) is holding its own and I fully expect it to grow and fourish as the economy changes.
I know this sounds repetitive as I read this from many of you, I am very honored to have gotten acquainted with many of you (and you all know who you are:). You are now my friends, in my life, sharing my days, as I share yours. I have to thank Active Rain for this also!
