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

    As do Trolls and spam.

    Does that mean they're saying something too?

    I think we need a sub board for conversations about sub boards

    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

    I also forgot

    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

    And a hell of a lot of newbies post their first questions on the diary threads, rather than start a new one.

    A fair few questions are "How do I start a new thread?"

    God damn, I forgot that one too!

    I think we need a stickie: "How to spot a thread that will repeat on you like cucumber sandwiches..." with all these points in...

    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...

    I also dont click on threads I dont want to read.

    point being that sometimes you have to scroll thru pages of the diaries/challenges to find a topic relevant to you etc. If you were able to ignore them, then most relevant posts would then appear a lot more easier?

    I just wondered if this was possible, as ignoring users is possible? Anyone ever seen this on another forum? Technically possible? It could be a useful tool
