Diaries Sub-forum poll

OK, I couldn't see one started again by anyone else so I've just done this with 2 stark choices - to have one or not to have one... that is the question... :D

(Sorry if anyone did do one - I couldn't see it on the first 3 pages of the board)
Could you do with a Money Makeover?

    I'm voting (again :D) for keeping it as it is - I will go along with whatever is decided, but will feel a bit sad if things change around here.

    Lets hope the poll stays open a bit longer this time - Martiiiin, step awaaaaay from the moderator controls.... :rotfl: ;)

  • I've voted.

    Can I just ask though - if it stays the same, PLEASE can we have some sort of sticky or notice on the front of the board so this topic explaining that a democratic vote was taken as this keeps being mentioned in threads over over again.

    Of course everyone is quite rightly, entitled to their opinion, but personally I feel it gets tiring seeing the debate endlessly coming up as to whether there should be a sub board or not and it could be seen as devisive in itself.

    Hope that makes sense!

    I had another suggestion which I put on the other thread, which was to maybe have more board guides - Nearlyrich is fab don't get me wrong, but the board is getting busier and busier, and it is a lot for one person to handle (not sure that Plumpmouse is still around?).

    That way any posts that aren't relevant to DFW (I've seen at least two of these today - nothing wrong with them, just in the wrong place) can be moved to the correct forum more quickly, which would make more space for newbie posts.

    I think there's too many polls, we should have a sub board for polls about sub boards :)

    Perhaps we should start another thread to discuss this, first. :confused: :rolleyes: :confused:
