Groundhog for lunch anyone???

Deja vu all over again?

Well all we need are:

• accusations of cliques - check!
• wanting a sub-board - check!
• newbies not knowing where to post - check!
• accusations of newbies being ignored - check!

Now all we need is a eulogy to my studliness, and my day will be complete...

Hmm but Laura how long you been posting you don't know and I don't know so how would a newbie know?

I love it when the regulars can talk maturely, really makes me realise what a community we are

I agree with some of the stuff here, but its what you make it and how much you want to join in. I have been a member since July 06..I think?? but really only posted properly in the last 2 weeks. Its not because I found the board unfriendly, quite the opposite in fact but it was more about me getting my head around things and realising that this place is the best support I will get. Maybe a sub section for challenges/diaries might be good but at the end of the day its about how much you want out of it and are prepared to put in helping others

It might be the same conversation again, but the fact that it is reoccurring must say something.

I know the board guides work really hard but if we are going to have the chat threads then the other threads need closer moderation and closing to be archived to avoid clutter.

been wondering this for a while but is it possible for entire threads to be ignored? Would maybe solve this problem? Those who dont want to read specific threads like diaries/challenges can just block individual ones and then forum would be clearer for them?

Well the way I don't read individual threads is by not clicking on them.

It may comes as a surprise, but I don't read everything...

And to add to the check list:

Martin held a poll to ask thoughts on a diary sub board and he decided to keep thing as they are- check

The big list of stickies was requested to be reduced to one so the board can be full of as many live thread as possible - check

The accusations of newbies being ignored was highlighted as not an issue by Snaggles only last week - check

Heaven forbid a newby actually comes along, reads a few challenge threads and thinks - you know what, I'm not quite ready to bare my soul publicly -however I fancy a bit of a challenge to get me into to the swing of this DFW malarky myself - what lovely people they all are!:D
