  • Kipper (and the other BG's)

    I have total respect for you all, your volunteering to help the board run smoothly is often unnoticed & unrecognised. Only you (3?) can really see how those threads effect the boards so perhaps have a discussion between the BG's & decide on an outcome then forward it to Head Office or wherever.

    If you think it's time for them to go, perhaps we should step aside & perhaps not agree with it but agree to disagree & let them go.

    I think if there were no comps ending thread a lot of lurkers would go elsewhere because they don't want to trawl through all the comps, some would stay though and maybe they would start to have a bit more input because they are actually using the board and not just heading for the comps ending list... I guess theres no point in having a debate though because theres nothing we can change.

    I use this board because I enjoy it and I find it spurs me on to keep comping, I just think some people use it for the wrong reasons. I'm going to shut up now and just get on with it :p
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    I agree with peej about the lurkers thing - getting rid of the thread wouldn't get rid of them, they'd still be entering the competitions. In fact, they'd probably use the board more frequently to keep up with the competitions, so it's a Catch-22 really.

    I concur!

    Also not only are the lurkers entering the competitions, they're taking them and posting them on other forums as I have discovered with a couple of the competitions I found via google and posted here. :rolleyes: However I see this as an extra boost for my comping karma - hopefully more wins will be coming my way!!! ;):D

    I love the comps ending list, as despite practically living on this board I still find I've missed some when I go through the list.
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j

    Like I said I really don't think anything will change unless a major catastrophe with the comps ending occurs
