I'm not leaving! I just won't be posting daily jokes or pics or Add-A-Captions.
I will post jokes if they fit a topic or are unusually funny (IMHO). Actually I've been asked not to over post, and I can respect that. I WILL respond to topics that interest me, or that I can stir the pot.

Aww....I just recently figured out how to get the pictures in your Add A Caption ones to work! [img]tongue.gif[/img] Ohwell! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Why the announcement? Why not just do it?

Actions speak louder than words... even though all our actions here are words... hmmm.

[Stormymystic]

why not see if you can comprimise with Z? maybe do like an every 3day thread something like that? that way those of us who like seeing the pics can still have them, and it wont take up alot of thread space? otherwise, just pm me the links so i can have a laugh [img]smile.gif[/img]
anyway off to bed no, night everyone wait that should be in cafe, oh well never mind night anyways

I have been dinged for doing so, so I figure the best policy is to cease. A single joke thread doesn't work...I've tried. Either there is little response or the thread gets out of hand to respond. So someone else will have to take over the 'Add-A-Caption'. I will post occasional news items or oddball things I find, but mostly I shall lurk.

I don't get it. [/QUOTE]You see - that's funny! And all his own work.

I don't get why a single joke thread 'doesn't work'. People see it, they can laugh, post if they feel like it or more likely, just feel good for the laugh and move on. Do you need to get lots of replies to make it worth doing? That implies you are only posting the thread to get attention and I'd like to think that you just want to share the laughs with others.

Many folk post things that don't get lots of replies, Arvon. ESPECIALLY joke threads! If I read a joke, I don't always respond, because often the only thing I could say is "HAHA, funny joke" which seems a waste of bandwidth. Besides, if everyone did that, it would be a pretty dull thread, anyway!

For the record, you didn't have to make a big announcement- we'd have noticed the new system, I'm sure. I'd suggest you go ahead and do it your new way and see what happens. Maybe your fewer, more high quality jokes will get the praise and numbers of replies you seem to feel you need. If nothing else, you surely won't get complaints about too many threads!

At any rate, it can't hurt to try your new method and see how it works out. I wish you luck with the new high quality jokes and can't wait to see them! [img]smile.gif[/img]

edit: Arvon, you alluded to 'dings' you'd received and I want to make a reminder about IW policy concerning private msgs, if you are referring to things from pm's or private mail etc, please remember that such things should be kept off the boards unless the other party or parties explicitly agree that you can post their concerns or names. In other words, don't air the dirty laundry on the board, ok? Again, good luck with the streamlined joke program! I do hope it works out and you get nothing but good responses. [img]smile.gif[/img]
