    It is important to note that we have been a community for several years and while Hubski will be new to many, it's home for us. That said, kick the tires, check out the place and recognize that we are not a "reddit replacement," we are Hubski.

I feel like this would be a great addition to the "Create Account" page. Maybe rephrase "reddit replacement" somehow.

We could just eliminate the word "reddit" and say we aren't a "replacement," we are Hubski. -Wow, that sounds arrogant :) Or... confident? It's a fine line.

I don't disagree that it could be part of the on boarding experience. Especially during influxes. mk, insomniasexx, b_b, forwardslash. Thoughts?

Haha, yeah the wording could be . . . more diplomatic. I do think it's important to get people out the mindset of "hubski is the new ___________".

Although, since we're already "the handsome web", why not?

"We're no replacement; we're handsome."

How about, "we're not a refuge from reddit, but you're welcome to join us anyway - we'd be glad to have you."

A little wordy, but that's the thrust of what I might like to see. We've had lots of conversations about hubski's relationship with reddit and the general sentiment is that we'd like to get out of that shadow.

Good people are good people and I think I'm not alone in looking forward to meeting more.

Hubski. Not a bit like Reddit. We're fun!

And my migration to hubski.com is complete - along with my final thoughts on the old place.

Don't read that if you are easily offended by obscenity. They are my actual thoughts, and uncensored. Hello hubski and my clean new life away from idiocy!!! :D
