Welcome @JeauxSmeaux ! Droppings is garbage. I quit going there years ago and came here myself (in 2010 I think). That place sets off all kinds of malware and antivirus alarms. At least 1 out of every 4 or 5 popup ads over there has malicious code in it (that is why the site gets blocked). They need to clean that shit up over there but I think its beyond help now. By the way, cool avatar.
Good first post. Agree with a lot of what you said. Welcome, you seem thoughtful and reasonable. Hard to believe you lasted 10 years on TDrop
