Sounds good to me....will really help out newer members trying to find info. and those of us who aren't always on here so we know what the heck is going on. LOL

Will do!

anji1971 · 01-18-2008, 07:32 PM

I will try too, as I am fairly guilty of getting caught up in off-topic conversations! Just don't ground me from the forum if I screw up sometimes........

Just thought I'd bump this thread! You guys have kept me pretty busy this evening, moving irrelevent posts... if you can't find your post, it's probably in 'Oh So Quiet'.

Two Things:

General talk should be allowed to stray off topic and expected.. I agree when it comes to posts in the other forums though. Moving stuff around in the general aka lounge & Welcome area is nothing more then a waste of time and should not be needed... not even sure if it is being done but we should again expect things to go a bit nuts in those forums.

If posts are moved an email should be sent to notify users the post moved or was changed by an admin/mod. Most forms do this.

In the spirit of this thread, may I add, that when a joke is posted on one thread, and the punch line gets moved to another, it ruins the whole effect.

I guess I'll have to keep my wit to myself

The moved materials have scrambled up the threads to the point of losing interest..........

Stefan-A · 07-29-2008, 09:54 PM

I promise nothing.

zooplan · 07-29-2008, 10:06 PM

I think this should be send exclusively
to people with more than 1000 posts

Have I´ve ever been off topic

We should have a button to switch of all small talk
when searching for serious informations

It's nearly impossible sometimes to completely stay on topic.
No different than holding a group conversation in person. Someone says something or cracks a joke, and one thing leads to another. I usually find these little sidetracks very amusing!
