People have already got confused re. today's Daily Express offer and will probably have missed the important fact that you can actually get 341 on this plus ACM points which obviously isn't on #1 as quite rightly we can't expect it to be updated daily.

I know some people just want to chat and I don't want to "control this thread" (it'd be impossible!!) I think there should be 2 threads as there are for other topics like Tesco, where one is offers only and one is discussions, mystery shopping, where one is discussion and one is new jobs, cinema tickets and a separate discussion one, etc., etc.

People could then chat away fine on one thread and others who want to quickly check an offer wouldn't have to read through over 200 posts a day to find out about the Express offer for instance.

I keep track of quite a few threads on here, but like a lot of the original people on this Boots thread, I have more or less given up on this one, other than checking #1 now and then, because I haven't got a spare hour a day to keep up!!

That's why I was suggesting something that might suit both parties.

Don't worry - this thread will have closed in a couple of days as it'll be too big again and this post will have been lost in amongst all the other stuff on here anyway :wall:

as one of the "originals:eek: " I for one have never seen you post on the "old" threads..
this old chestnut has been suggested on more occasions than any of us care to mention.. It will not happen:mad: , a thread in the arms was opened for chat about anything (after we had been "told off for chatting" on here.. and then that thread was closed down too ) you really are fighting a losing battle... either read the first page for the offers etc... or enjoy the chat like the rest of us!

A 'No Chat' Boots grabbit thread WAS started quite a few months back now, but it soon disappeared from page 1. It just wasn't popular. People will keep coming back to THIS thread to see the latest news, and you just skip stuff not relevant to you.

Works for me anyway .

Hi Josie, this has been raised many times in the past as you know and is never resolved.


But who do you mean by the original people on this Boots thread?

Surely everyone is equal here, no matter how long they have been around. Many people dip in and out. A lot are transient, some post a couple of times and never come back. But I can't see how the length of time that people have been around is important at all to the quality of the board.

Also what is the orginal time scale, do you mean,people who have been. around, weeks, months, years??

Surely the quality of the post is what counts not how long people have been posting here.

I judge the post by the content rather than whether the poster is an original or not. It's easy to get stuck in the past and maybe yearn for the good old days. But thats the past, and this is now, nothing stays the same thank God.

If the offer's that important, shouldn't it have a thread of its own? Because if it isn't so important, there's always a board guide that can move it. CPG will no doubt update it as soon as she can anyway.

I beg to differ. You know that two threads don't work - search for the one that sunk without trace. (I'll give you a clue - it wasn't this one.)

People could then chat away fine on one thread and others who want to quickly check an offer wouldn't have to read through over 200 posts a day to find out about the Express offer for instance.

And why, when someone has a beef about the thread going off topic, (usually from someone that hardly contributes anything :rolleyes: ), are the "original people on this Boots thread" dragged into it like they're some sort of elite group that have disappeared to pastures new? They ended up in the pub area of the board didn't they?

If they were such dedicated posters of the Boots thread, they'd stick around and help the newbies.

That's why I was suggesting something that might suit both parties.

One can only hope.
