I have been away for a bit (explained elsewhere). Before I left I noticed a trend just starting - people using others threads to have conversatons between themselvees that don't include or interest the other posters.
Is it me or has this got much worse??? I used to really enjoy posting here but now its hard to wade through all the "chat" posts looking for the nuggets of gold I hope I can have fun, serious discussions and catch up with people the way I used to as this is still truly a great crowd. ------------------ MYTH DRANNOR http://vampirelord.proboards.com/ind...er=vampirelord [This message has been edited by kiwidoc (edited 10-01-2001).] |

I sincerely hope that the "The Siege Continues" and "The GD forum is being held hostage!" threads aren't considered SPAM by our admin and his mods.

IMHO all thread directly directed to a specific person should best be handled per email

If set up correctly, I think a chat area could solve some of this.
I know that I've been reading the forum and someone will instant message me and we'll not cloud up the thread with spam. This works well. If a chat area here allowed individuals to send others a quick message or two, it might not detract from the threads. BTW, I must compliment you in the way that you posted. You made a separate thread "Yes - I AM alive!" so that general introductions and catching up doesn't clutter other threads. ------------------ Most Subtle Official Straightman of the Laughing Hyenas -- Grammarian Brigade.
