Hello to the BBQ-community!
In the last months I thought I had been settled and grown a lazy kind of comfortable with the default #1. That's what I use exclusively (aside from having to use W7 once in a while at work). Not much fooling around with the window managers anymore and distrohopping lost its allure after having seen a great deal of what is out there.
So when I first read about BBQ, I thought not much of it. Just a bunch of debian spinoffs. One gets to know a lot of them, over time.
But it seems I underestimated the creativity of the people here (especially Machinebacon, who does awesome things here). Yesterday I had a first look at the list of editions and it blew my mind. So many cool ideas, even more than one variant of an emacs-centric linux (I had wondered quite some time, why nobody made one).
The forum seems to be a nice place too. Nice people with interesting discussions. So I will come here often in the future, I think. But like in the #! forum, I am more a reader than a writer.
A big thanks to all contributors to this cool project!

Re: Yet another Introduction from a crunchbang user
Hello doxanthropos, welcome to the grill!
Nice things you wrote, thanks for the kind words. I would also like to praise the stuff that comes from the forums members - it's their ideas that actually make a new release, and things like the Emacs spins are heavily inspired by slartie, DebianJoe and xaos (in this timely order), and the really unique Gangbang would have never come true without Pidsley's great prep job on it. I just happened to put these things together, and I love doing it. Apart from that, it's just to prove that 98% of the distros are overrated (or simply take themselves extremely seriously), and that we often have to shake heads when we read release announcements, for example at distrowatch. "Proud to announce", "is now available", "features this and that office suite" - it's all big bullshit, a huge bubble. The BBQ wants to uncover the myths and show the truth :D (next release should be LinuxBBQ Wallraff)
So, for what it's worth, feel free to "think aloud" (as we German's say), it might end up as release :) Thank you in advance ;)

Welcome to the BBQ. Where cynicism becomes distributions in a strange alchemy.
I thought the same thing when I first arrived here. "Why so much Debian?" Then I started playing with some of these spins. They're fun.
