As a newcomer to the AW site I spend a lot of my time checking out the different forums to see what they offer. One thing that has surprised me is that the most popular forum, by a long shot is the Bewares and Background Checks and I wonder why?
I know what it is there for and how useful it will be when it comes time for me to ponder representation/publication. But I am a ways off that at the moment so I pass the forum by.
But why is it the most popular thread on AW. Is it because so many members are close to publication and are doing their research? Perhaps forewarned is forearmed? Or maybe it is our love of reading horror stories of what happened to others and then smirking to ourselves as we think “we’re not that dumb.”
