Ways to improve the forum

[Bobbie En Tejas]

I love complainers.. always a joy to be around.

Unlike the over opinionated who are boring

[Bobbie En Tejas]

That's a pretty strong opinion

There is a place for everyone here. Not sure what your solution is to boring. I've read some of your posts, not necessarily over-the-top exciting. I remember back in 2005 not long after the forum started. There were a lot of complainers back then, too. Everything wasn't just right and perfect for this one or that one. One of the complaints, as we recall, was that people didn't identify themselves, and there were battles over that.

What is it you want and what would you do to change it (besides getting rid of people).

i'll get my coat!!!

[Bobbie En Tejas]

lol, I think I'll need mine too

[Ninja Mania]

No time to get your coats, just get out now, I'll close the door behind you'se.

[general jack o'niell]

if i go who will lift you up so that you can reach the handle?

[Ninja Mania]

Its a trap door you'll be going through, in a downward manner.

[Bobbie En Tejas]

You would cry and cry if we left.. admit it!!

[general jack o'niell]

did you make it yourself? if so no problem, it probably won't shut right and by the time you've been round at least three times to fix it i'll be long gone, either that or fixed it myself, its what i usually do!!!

[Ninja Mania]

Aye yur rite, you stay I'll go then.

[general jack o'niell]

no not at all, you stay, you don't take up much room and its a wee while yet till the panto season starts

[Bobbie En Tejas]

nooooooooooooooo.. you sit your britches right down over here and don't you go anywhere.

Kintyre Lad, you have abandoned the forum, but want it to change?

Bobbie, haven't abandoned it - just don't read it daily the way I used to.

Too many threads go completely off topic and the original post is ruined.

There was talk of changes and I think they are needed. Always surprised me that more people don't get together and formalise the forum a bit more. Could be a very powerful to Kintyre.

Sorry, not naming names, but there are one or two particular posters who are chasing people away. Spoke about the last night with friends who strangely enough said they have not been on the forum for months now....

I dont think threads veering off topic put people off reading......when that happens it is just like real life conversation....if the topic is interesting enough the conversation wanders back, naturally...or Malky intervenes!

Some of the threads can be a bit pointless and full of drivel but these ones dont have to be read by anyone who does not want to.

I think the biggest single thing that keeps this forum back and makes it dull (sometimes) is SOOOO many people who read and NEVER post.
Sometimes I feel like I, am one of the couple of dozen animals in a zoo and all the guests and members who dont post are gazing through the bars waiting to be entertained.....

So, c'mon, dont just read.............POST!
