Please can we have sub forum for advents

I think it is a good idea - I know it is only for a couple of months but there are lots and lots of advents and it will help to keep both the 'advent haters' and 'advent lovers' happy

Could we stash them all in the pretty defunct regular completions sticky maybe? Then no need for a new sub forum, no need for them to be on the main board but still easy enough to find?

Good idea as they are 'regulars' :beer:

Advents will almost certainly be posted in way they always have been*, the only question will be if anyone bothers with a summary thread or not.

(*you can no longer place a bet on this since unusual betting patterns were detected on doubles with the outcome of this and who would win the GBBO)

I really hope they are not put on sub board, it will be chaos, 90% of comps in December are advents, Not everyone will know what is where and chaos will ensue, It's worked on main for many years, chaotic yes but that's how they are.

An advent thread is needed for order otherwise people who aren't as computer savvy won't be able to find them amongst the board moving fast.

I'm more than able to use folders to sort mine but not everyone can.

Oh yes please, then all those who feel compelled to enter for every piddling prize with the word advent attached to it can congregate there and leave the 'proper ' prizes to those who don't get sucked in.

Every year people miss out on decent prizes as they desperately try to win a bit of tinsel losing sleep and making themselves ill in the process.

I done over £3,500 on advents last year, over £2000 in vouchers and electricals, then a £1000 pair of designer shoes. I'd call them proper prizes.

no to sub board, all comps should be posted on the main board

i think we absolutely should bother with a summary thread. it's so useful for people who, in the run up to Xmas, don't have time to go through each page of the board, they can just use the summary thread

Nope, been around for many years under a different name.

Thank you for your interest.

Incidentally how long does someone have to be here before they have your consent to offer an opinion ?
