    I still don't understand why the BG's dislike the Comps Ending threads. I have asked on threads like this a couple of times but I haven't seen a public answer, or received any PM's explaining some possible sensitive private situations.

    I've browsed through the discussion thread that was quoted earlier in this thread and I see nothing there that really explains the dislike. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place but I just don't see it. :confused:

    I think the continued objection is that it will increase the workload of the BG's or that the forum will become messier. There are ways around that with protocol and I have suggested such protocol in past threads. I can suggest them again.

    I'm all for making the BG's life easier but I just don't get what's bad about these threads. They are very popular and I like them very much.
    Many tx to all who post constructively in all the forums!:beer:

    You might want to copy this post over to the comps discussion thread where this has been discussed off and on all day. This post will be in game over within a few hours, and your thoughts will be lost - also there are a lot of people (BGs included) who never look at these threads and so won't see your question about the lists :)

    super job, many thanks
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    Our Precious Baby Tianna has now joined our Family, she is much loved and very welcome, xxx

    Thanks for that. I don't like going over to that thread since there are so many pages it's a bit daunting. Looks like I will have to set aside some time tonight to browse it. That's an hour less comping, don't you know! :p
