HubPages, the Community

To have our opinion read, get our message across, and make money from our work, are all important reasons why writers join sites like HubPages. But another important aspect that isn't always focused on is the need for a like-minded community and unity of spirit.

I have not written an article for Hubpages since 2014. I want to get back in the game. Let's see what I have been up to.

A drastic change of scenery and a shift in general lifestyle also calls for a change within my writing. I am bored with fair and impartial presentation, so I figured I would shift into another personality. I'm trading kindness for the status quo for a while!

Well, this is hopefully going to be my hundredth article featured here on HubPages. Just to go with the flow, I have decided to do a little piece about how I feel it is going here, among other fluff.

A short and sweet article about the vibe I get from the "forum regulars."

Review these suggestions of what changes would make HubPages better also feel free to tear into any of the ideas that you believe wouldn't be suitable for this platform.
