Hi - I just wanted to give my thoughts on the whole new thread thing.

It appears that the majority of people want a combined thread including the banter/drivel etc. BUT are we missing the point that Honey was politely trying to make when she raised the issue ?

I really don't think it was a case of cutting out altogether the chit chat posts and having a seperate thread, but more a question of just reining it in a little - for example we were getting a dozen posts of people giving a one line 'good night' at the end of the day.

The idea of highlighting any important coupon news in blue is a good one, let's hope it works and that new people to the thread read the first posts and adhere to that one.

I just think that people need to understand what Honey was trying to get across, rein it in a bit and maybe we can get back to the way it was.

What do others reckon ?

I reckon you are quire correct!

there has been no new announcement to suggest we can have a free for all on here as some have suggested!

I think we all understand and respect what honey was saying,but a lot of us enjoyed the banter and the "good nights" this new thread is working well,if folk just want to see what the new mocs are all they have to do now is look for the highlights in blue,
not sure what you mean about "get back to the way it was"

My final words (hopefully) on the (split) threads matter, on this thread:-
(Read my reply to the above on the drivel thread, as requested;))

I would like to thank Princess Coupon on being pro-active to do something about the discontent, following the polite request!

Not only did she start the "drivel" thread to try to placate everyone, but then,
when folk started voicing concerns, she then set up a vote.

:T:T:T Well done on both counts, PC..... I for one appreciate it!:beer::beer::A

.....now may I suggest, if anyone doesn't like the outcome of the vote, they start their own thread, and that way they can make up any rules they like!

Hi gill377. I appreciate your comments, thank you.

However, whilst there are a lot of people who enjoyed the "good nights" etc there are also a lot of people who didn't and have found that too many posts were being used unneccesarily. SO many people were reporting that it was taking an age to catch up with the thread after being away from the site for just a short while !

It may be worth while you reading back at Honey's post that brought this to attention and read what she was politely requesting.

I for one, do not want to stop the banter/drivel - most of the time it's great fun.

If you want to chat about this some more, let's take this over to the chat/drivel thread .......

AARRRGGHHH - your missing the point !!!! Please would someone read Honey's original request post. AARGGGHH It's not about two seperate threads it's about people just reining it in just a teeny bit. AARGGGH !
