Yes Gary, as a matter of fact you did hit a nerve. There is far more to GCG than Topix. GraniteCityGossip is not a discussion board. It is a web site that is based on Granite City and the surrounding areas and one of the features of this web site is a discussion board.
Do you ever take the time to look at the homepage? Do you ever read any of the information on the many events and fund raisers listed there that are updated every month?
Have you ever taken the time to click any button on the homepage other than the discussion board button? There are many interesting parts to GCG such as...
There are pages for area Churches, Schools, Teams and Organizations, local news. There is a page dedicated to area Yard Sales that is updated every week.
So yes, for you to even compare GCG to Topix does strike a nerve with me. When I think of Topix, what comes to my mind is a no holds barred, anything goes trashy site filled with vulgar language with no positive purpose.
When I think of GCG, I think of a web site that covers positive local events around our town. Our theater schedule, Melting Pot Market schedule, many APA related events, Bible School classes and schedules. Birthday & Anniversary announcements and messages and so much more.
