    I do disagree.

    The usual ten or so posters really who post every day in almost every thread.

    Not knocking it/them .. but this thread really will only excite the usual "regular" crowd of 10 or 12.

    Most everyone else will be "whatever" as the kids say now.

    MissKool .. you do a fine job btw ...

    Moderators (board guides, whatever) who moderate and not dictate dont come around that often.

    IIRC rpoints floundered from a mass walk out in the casino thread over the mods behaviour.

    Id be so peed off by now having to explain and re-explain the real world again and again. More patience than me (easy though as I have none as we all know).
    Do you like my medal ?

    TT: After my last post and not having the energy to re-read the whole discussion, I went back to see exactly what you set out in your original suggestion. And I'm beginning to think that my suggested Page One might be your ideal Page One subject to general chat being in a different forum. Am I right?

    You referred to 'meaningless drivel' in that first post. Excluding that, or diverting it to a general chat thread in a separate forum would be far from easy. It can't be subjective - 'I'm considering posting something silly about the betchron 2-2 offer; I'd better put it in the general chat area'.
    So it means it would have to be monitored, and moved. And you simply cannot impose that job on somebody's shoulders - even with two or three BeeGees. They have much more important things to do.
    I'm tempted to suggest that you be given that job for a week, but you're a genuine guy, and it's possibly a bit cruel.
    This should go in the chat thread:
    Shall we have a poll to guess who misskool recommended as a second BG? My money's on grumbler - incredible patience (but wearing a bit thin lately), ice cool, provides the correct links in seconds. He must be odds-on surely?

    A) TT: After my last post and not having the energy to re-read the whole discussion, I went back to see exactly what you set out in your original suggestion.

    How about this:

    Forum No.1 (Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes) should be exclusively exclusively: Introductory Offers/Freebets/Reloads/Cashbacks/Promotions/Bonuses/Incentives/Competitions THREADS, ONLY (and discussion about those same THREAD OP's)

    Forum No.2 (Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes - Chat & Questions) should be exclusively: other general chat & questions - See OP.

    If it drifts a bit well OK, but as long as it starts out (the OP) as above with each THREAD in that Forum. I.E. The starting OP's THREAD in Forum No.1 (Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes) should be exclusively: Introductory Offers/Freebets/Reloads/Cashbacks/Promotions/Bonuses/Incentives/Competitions. The starting OP's THREAD in Forum 2 (Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes - Chat & Questions) should be exclusively for that, just chat & Q's, get it?

    Please re-read the whole thread again too.

    I think the OP is crystal clear, any confusion up to now has been covered and refurbished, fully. Anyone with a true and genuine interest would be following the thread carefully.

    B) You referred to 'meaningless drivel'

    MK said that.

    C) Shall we have a poll to guess who misskool recommended as a second BG? My money's on grumbler - incredible patience (but wearing a bit thin lately), ice cool, provides the correct links in seconds. He must be odds-on surely?

    Anyone is welcome to have any poll they like, and I am happy for anyone who becomes a BG. Yes, Grumbler would be lovely.:beer:

    I'm sorry to say No.
    First I don't know what 'The starting OP THREAD' means? OP = original post/poster?
    All the items in my list are covered by your list of definitions, except for the chat thread.
    I don't see what's different. Maybe I'm getting as exhausted as you should be ;)

    TT .. is this your "miss everyones point deliberatley" turn??? ;)

    I have no idea exactly what context your reply works in.

    But I think the vast majority of the board have used their free speech to declare "I am not bothered" and so have no opinion on your ideas.

    You are really only arguing with the same old usual twelve posters or so .. Ive done that and it gets pretty boring after a while so Id move on.
    Do you like my medal ?
  • A) Yes, I do understand, whilst I yawn.

    You are still not getting my drift it seems. I am acutely aware of the existence of all that is in existence in this GIOL Forum, what is needed is two GIOL Forums.

    Forum No.1 (Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes) should be exclusively exclusively: Introductory Offers/Freebets/Reloads/Cashbacks/Promotions/Bonuses/Incentives/Competitions THREADS, ONLY (and discussion about those same THREAD OP's)

    Forum No.2 (Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes - Chat & Questions) should be exclusively: other general chat & questions - See OP.

    If it drifts a bit well OK, but as long as it starts out (the OP) as above with each THREAD in that Forum. I.E. The starting OP's THREAD in Forum No.1 (Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes) should be exclusively exclusively: Introductory Offers/Freebets/Reloads/Cashbacks/Promotions/Bonuses/Incentives/Competitions. The starting OP's THREAD in Forum 2 (Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes - Chat & Questions) should be exclusively for that, just chat & Q's, get it?

    B) Are you grasping my point yet? There are already separate respositories for Questions and Chat.

    Do people use the forum in that manor? No. If you're still lost on what we are trying to say, I'll give up.

    Are you getting my point? The set up of my logic will solve this overnight.:beer:

    Without meaning to offend, I'm completely giving up on this thread now TT as I've been there done that on another forum a couple of years back that had a (very) similar issue. They chose your option...and six months down the road painfully amalgamated the two again.

    Let your two forums fly and be sure to report back when they both turn into an abused mish-mash of chat\questions\offers.

    No I get everyone's point.

    I can't make it any clearer, See OP too.

    "But I think the vast majority of the board have used their free speech to declare "I am not bothered" and so have no opinion on your ideas."

    Yet you still post:p

    "You are really only arguing with the same old usual twelve posters or so .. Ive done that and it gets pretty boring after a while so Id move on."

    We are not arguing only discussing that's what Forums are for.

    That's OK NichStuff, don't worry, I appreciate all your comments though, thanks.

    I am sorry to hear of what happened at the other Forum, what a waste.

    I know and believe that it can and will work with just 1% of the right, and positive attitude. We need to be open to improvement & change. All round this will be a super time saver for us money saving experts! :beer:
