I'm a new guy around these parts (only joined 100 days ago give or take) but I love SE and TE and was looking forward to doing my best in TE this round. Its got tons of advantages, and I gained a whole lot of experience I wouldn't have had the chance in the slower paced long-haul SE. True TE isn't for everybody, but it still generates interest even amongst the noobs like myself, and had hoped it would be around at least as long as its SE counterpart.
Save TE!
