You know the way we have a discussion thread....

Has any more thought been give to letting us have more than one???

It's just there have been some good discussions started recently, and when they are merged into the 'discussion' thread they all mix up and you have 'sex does it matter' intermingled with a 'roboform' discussion - all of which means that it makes no sense and the same questions will be asked over and over again.

I personally find the discussion thread difficult to follow and rarely venture in now.

Anyone else or shall I just shut up and comp quietly in my corner????

    I think i venture in once a week, like you say, it can be difficult to follow a particular discussion. How would the mods sort the different discussions though, if you know what I mean, what titles would they have, any suggestions?

    Good idea tho :)

    Maybe there could be a subforum for discussions only like for the I won threads? then they wouldn't even have to be started in the main forum and people who have a question could just search in that subforum if it has been answered already :)

    i probably venture in daily but once threads have been merged with the discussion thread it is hard to work out and follow who is saying what to who and where etc

    if something were altered I guess it could mean more work and the logistics of working out might take some doing but I guess it could be done

    maybe rather than the sub forum being 'I won I won I won' it could be Discussion/I won or something along those lines

    Yeah, i guess it would maybe be a lot logistically to do.

    But it just annoys me when I'm following a discussion and then its merged and lost.

    I suppose the I won/discussion is the better solution. Although a little messy.
