Ways to improve the forum

[Barney McGrew]

Your ball, back to you. Like you, I know when I am not welcome..

Of course you're welcome but why come on and criticise everyone you don't agree with, then go in the huff when they come back at you?

I for one don't post much but have a look nearly every day and do find the posts interesting and amusing and yes I should post more. I agree with what Ninja said earlier in this thread and i find myself agreeing with 4th Gen, Bobbie and Gen Jack & sweltered ( even I find that hard to believe ) Sheik is right conversations go off in different directions same as threads go with the flow or as has been said before DON'T READ THEM

Christ, I was pulling her leg

Can you please point out where I was criticising everyone?

Anyway, got you posting

The noise in hear is deafening, I'm trying to get to sleep!

Much as I love the banter - has anyone come up with some ideas of how to improve the forum, other than to get the lurkers to post, and having some thread tolerance?

You tell 'em Bobbie. It does seem like it is the same people that post all the time. It would be much more "funner" if others would post too then we would really see the strings getting of topic!

I had a giggle when I read the Corncrake thread this afternoon!

what does sweltered mean "i am not royalty" why was i never told he is adopted, is he telling the truth or just too shy and hiding his heritage, i'm proud to be campbeltown royalty(first generation) married to campbeltown royalty(so they say)ok i joke about the second bit, but if the definition of royalty is looking down your nose at everyone? well thats me!!!!!

i don't discriminate, and if i give any other impression to certain individuals? then i'm sorry, i'm only patronising you, don't take it to heart!!!!

seriously, how to improve the forum?

run this one past yourselves, it could work

i post, you read it, then you post to say how marvelous my post was, nobody is making catty remarks(except me of course) there will be no arguements, no complaining about posts going off thread since all the threads will be mine to take where i wish, jobs a good un!!!!

all this "forum for local issues" nonsense is crap, one man's issue is anothers man's beach pollution, or is that cotton buds? no, it's true, it is cotton buds, who flushes them down a toilet anyway? they never flush first time, i have terrible trouble tryi

Sorry, got to disagree with you on this GJON, the forum could play an important role in local issues if people were given a chance to discuss. I honestly feel if there were enough people posting local news, issues etc it could prove a great medium for discussion.

[Annie]

I second that! That is why I read the forum, to hear what is going on around the place!

And before anyone mis-construes this I AM NOT trying to say all topics have to be relevant or all we discuss is LOCAL news!

[Annie]

What I meant to say was that I read the forum for the local news because the Courier is crap at getting out their mail. I don't even remember the last time I read one, and that was a month old then.

Of course there will be posts that are relevant to everyone and there certainly have been long strings of quite heated rhetoric on a lot of things that are not locally based!

Why don't you just have demerit points for crap posters, like me! Sometimes I just post rubbish! Sorry!

Sorry Annie, wasn't at you. Funny how things can be mis-read

Was just a general statement about my own posting
