    There isn't any hard and fast rule for advents Cat, not in the years i've used mse, the idea of trying to keep direct links in this thread was to save the bgs a massive clean up as only a dozen or so comps will need questions will need to be moved, the comps contained within this thread will all dissappear in one go when this thread closes.

    I truthfully think u r worrying too much, if u look back to 2007 there was no order at all to the advents it's only in the last few years the volunteers have tried to find some order.

    I thought this was gonna be a fun thread, and yes i'm gonna moan now, I think people are expecting too much from all of this,I know i'm more than able to oversee a thread hence I volunteered to organise the advents, slot in the comps, keep it tidy etc etc, Not have to constantly have to deal with people moaning here and fb that it doesn't suit there needs. what more can I do? I can't please everyone though i have tried to xxx

    Like you say, you cant please everyone but you are pleasing a lot of us, having them listed the way you are is saving me so much time already, you're a lifesaver to me :A
