No, chat should be for those on line to reply straight away and general should be for those who leave a message for others to reply to whenever

I love Uggers idea of a "Deranged Board" lol...

and a "I am in such a bad mood , make my day by arguing back ! " board"...

PS...you can keep David Tennant, nice though he is...if I can have John Barrowman (yes I do know lol) .... he would be such great company, make me laugh AND looks gorgeous! lol

Morning all

Well I hope they all dont merge into one - I think it would be a nightmare.

Its bad enough trying to find a thread on here sometimes let alone if they were all merged.

Would def. not contribute - but then some of you may say good! LOL

Going back to the original post:

No I dont think Gen should merge with Chat in my eyes they are very different people in the main who post and a small percentage who cross over to both.

Its a bit like having two cafes or pubs on opposite sides of the Rd. In the main you will always go to the same one.

I lurked in both before I started posting and to be fair it was before the changes on the boards. But I did not like chat - it gave me the creeps and I expect if the same people are on it it still would.

I wouldnt go in a pub / cafe that made me feel uncomfortable so why should I have to partake or read the threads? At the moment I have a simple choice - not to go in there and therefore not to get involved. If we were forced to merge I think I would cancel my subs rather than be forced to mix with people I choose not to. My tree is now mainly worked on in FTM so I choose Gen for the giggles and the people.

But its not the be all and end all of life and I would canx without a second thought if they were forced to merge.

I am sure one or two people on Chat may have the same feelings about Gen.

As I've admitted before, I've got more than 1 account but the other 2 have never been made live.

It's £9.95 so that I can post under a different number which would buy me 3 bottles of wine down Boozy Bargains.

I'll take the wine ta very much

Sorry I must have deleted instead of edited..

I agree with you Uggers...

I've been confused lately as I've seen people use old boardnames (slightly different) but I don't think they are the same people that originally posted under that name. (NB they weren't trying to deceive anyone about who they were either)

You could be right there lol. I think it's more a case of second accounts are brought out to say the things that they don't want to be seen saying in their usual ones:)

lol Uggers.....I think that's happening on some of the boards currently lol -

I'm also sure some are being recycled. There's names popping up that I haven't seen for a while. Perhaps people are reverting to their previous names??

Edited later: or they're adapting other people boardnames's into their own.

Lesley, I think there should be a Deranged Board. I think we have enough people to qualify and I'd quite like to pop in there myself from time to time.
