Simple question:

Should we (the DFW board) have the Friday-night/Saturday-night/Eurovision/Envelope-opening parties?

(Which don't help answer newbies' questions very often)

Yes - but cleaner than clean - no mention of unmentional naughty bits.

    I, too, have voted 'YES' :D:D
    I think it shows the 'Newbies' that we are 'slightly eccentric' but 'totally human'.

    The whole context of a 'DFW' party would be lost in 'The Arms'.

    Sorry, when I said "we" I meant DFW. If it's in the Arms, then it isn't DFW. The option for that would be "No."

    If you're worried about frightening the newbies/being mistaken for a serious, debt-related thread :rotfl: , why not start the title with [SOCIAL] or something similar?

    Well normally it has "X Party!" where X can take the form of "Saturday Night", "Eurovision" etc...
