    sorry all, I just wanted to crosspost my post from this thread, so that discussion about a possible description for the board was all on this thread as the MSE Forum Manager had requested, xxx

    Hiya Glad,

    no offence, just wanted to clarify your post a little.

    When we were asking about us having a Compers Chat Corner, over on the Site Feedback thread, we actually mentioned the Inn thread. I see the Inn thread as a place where you could have a generalized "what kinda day your having - you you go, have a cuppa tea thread...

    But that comping questions and generalised comping chit chat, would finally be able to go all into seperate threads on here. So the board itself is larger than a replacement for the comps discussions, because it finally offers a home for all the chatter/query/ threads that often got lost in IWIW or moved from the main board.

    And that we finally have a board where us addicted compers can chat and help each other to our hearts content without fear of starting a thread in the wrong place or getting told off for bumping, This is what I had posted earlier on the LIVE thread, where we were asked for all our input into what we wanted this board to become,

    That would be fantastic, thank you so much for listening. I have to confess I have always called it Compers Chat Corner, (kinda - take a seat, heres the board to chat about comps, post hints and tips, ask questions galore and relax after a hard days comping) when I've posted about it in the past, but would be happy with whatever name, just really excited that this may actually be possible, xxxxx
    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 :)

    Am, sheeplike, doing the same as Mamzie. copied from the other thread on this subject:

    Mamzie, you said it for me too. I wanted this board to be more of a virtually anything goes - as long as it's not something that clearly fits elsewhere. So obviously we'd still want competitions posted on the main board, IWIWIW posted in that board. The only issue is that the name (what daft bird came up with that :o) attracts people to post for general financial advice as they access the website for that. So I think comping should be in the title, but we should welcome on-topic and off-topic posts from compers.

    The best of all worlds is if folk can choose whether to post on this new board, or in the compers Inn. It doesn't really matter if there is a little overlap, in my humbles.

    How about "Compers Chat Corner" with the text something like "For questions and chat from compers"?

    Thank you so much for our new name. I love it, and the board is fabulous.

    When you have time, could we get some text to describe our fantastic new board please. Hopefully something welcoming and enccouraging to members, possibly along the lines of....

    Compers Chat Corner,
    Take a seat, this is the place to chat about comps, post hints and tips, ask questions galore and relax after a hard session comping...

  • Ooh, a new place and it only took me two and a half weeks to notice. :)
  • I'd like to see a section with global competitions/contests/freebies/giveaways
  • Hi there all,

    I'm really new to comping but am loving it:). I know this is probably a silly question, but is there a link on MSE which has a list of competitions to enter, I've looked but can't find one!

    Thank you!

    it was when blu & mamzie asked the team if we could have a
    chat area where we could all ask questions/chat/discuss etc
    as before we only had a thread called discussions that didn't
    work for what we wanted, if you read through the thread
    that's how the CCC came about,
