Alright, I'm going to lay this down flat. Either A) You don't like this site, in which case your comment is sarcastic. To this I would say grow up, get a life, and get a job. Then come back. But I think you would belong in the next one B) You are seriously asking this question. Maybe another forum rejected you, and you feel a little upset and/or wary. To this I would say that this site is special because we accept people no matter what there skill base is. We nurture growth through teaching those new people with older, more skilled members who have been through tests to make sure that they are quality. This site is awesome because we wont shoot you down. This site is spectacular because we have a wide set of skills. This site is sweet because we can help. And Orion runs it. I hope you decide to stay and chillaxate with us. It really is pretty cool. Try to become a student under a teacher if you wanna grow. It will really help. (And yeah, Im accepting students. ) lt

Adding onto what lefttooth said...
This site is special because it has amazing teachers who will help you with whatever you need (within reason) and who are friendly and patient and will go through things with you if you don't understand. This site is special because it allows everyone to contribute and to help out in its little community. It's special because it welcomes new members openly and has nothing against being a "newbie" or, in other words, being new to psionics and it's special because it is fun, relaxed and at the same time still serious about psionics, one of the most controversial topics out there.

Naturally, I think this site is special because it's my site ... However, it is also special because the community here is different than I have ever encountered on another psi site. Our members are many and varied, coming from countless different locales and all at different skill levels. They all share one thing in common, though: they're friendly, they're dedicated, and they're willing to help. The Psion Academy is also special because of our unique training system of teachers and students. When higher-level psions join the site, I ask them if they want to be a teacher, and test them to make sure their abilities truly are at the level they say. Students can pick a teacher who fits their learning style and go from there. However, even with this system, I try and stress that all members are equal. I don't use karma or post counts because they tend to muddy the system, making it seem that those with higher karma or more posts are somehow more important than new members. Finally, this site is rapidly growing. The big "bloatsites" of the psi community, like PsiWorld and Psionics Online, maybe gain a new member or two each week. On average, the Psion Academy currently gains a member every day. Dius, I think if you stay, you'll reeallly like it here!

Hey it's Dius! Hi Dius! This site is pretty special in my perspective for most of all the teacher-student system that Orion has set up. Not a single person I have met here seems to have a weak will or ill intent and are all too dedicated to give up like some. Alot of them seem to be working at projects to discover new aspects of psionics and new ways to do things more effieciently unlike others at the big brother sites that loaf around struggling with psiballs everyday and like Orion said the site is gaining members like frickin' crazy so the more the merrier! Welcome aboard Dius!
