If there is one can we have an idiots guide to stoozing as a sticky at the top? I'm a comparative virgin when it comes to cc's.Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

Yes, it's really depressing reading about all sensible people making money when I am trying to crawl out of debt. (I know, I know I'm just jealous). Seperate board would aleviate me of jealous feelings. Go for it.0

Don't worry we're doing a redesign bothof the articles pages so it'll be easier to find and of the forums so related articles will be unobtrusivel linked at the top of each board

I say NO.
A dedicated board raises its profile and awareness as a technique to the CC companies. Before you know, everyone will be doing it.
I vouch that we keep it a minority sport, otherwise the CC companies may work out better methods of eliminating it (as can be seen with the more recent introductions of fees for BTs).The Pegster

Yes stoozers board...
Gets boring having to go through the same questions again, and again and again, and again, looking for that odd referance to stoozing somewhere, anywhere,0 -

Er, don't you think http://www.stoozing.com/ does more to raise the profile of this 'sport' than a sub-board on this site?... Fool's Gold ...0 -
I am absolutely dead set against this.
If you separate out the two forums in any way I think you get:
- some who think it makes it easier because they are not exposed to stoozing/non-stoozing posts
- some who end up scanning two forums
- the most knowledgable and helpful contributors no longer posting on the credit cards board but sticking solely to stoozing
- some who will leave
Personally I don't think the benefit offered by the first is worth risking the other three. A similar poll is raised every so often over on the Fool credit card board and each and every time it is (I am pleased to say) rejected because it risks losing a lot of expertise.
If anything I think we need a FAQ which I'm sorry to say is probably something I should be looking at but I'm too busy cutting down trees to sharpen my axe.0 -
