Keep one board for the birthdays, in memoriam, illness and positive thoughts threads, and those who need a 'quiet' place.
If GR can do it for quizzes they can do it for those too :-D

Can I join the BC thread with all its perks please?

I will have a dollop of everything except the patchouli oil. Cos I reminds me too much of me teenage years - enough said.

I agree about the fiction on some of the threads, especially the Auntie Motie one ....................... but I think somehow she is pulling yer leg.
lol

true TW theres no room for any banter of good hearted threads
for doom and gloom threads
or some that are pure fiction

Its understandable that people ask for positive thought I have done so myself in the past when there is a major upset going on in my life.... some may that is doom and gloom but at least Ive to balance it out with fun happy threads.

I have noticed over the past few weeks, that there is a certain standard required before you should even post on such thread..not lets just say this is one of the said threads....

Ooowww Muffy thats awful poor you *wrings hands* if it isnt bad enough being new year *wrings hands * not a chat or a gen board * wrings hands*

Now if you try to add a bit rytheme and reason.....well Muffy the reason why they decided to emerge the 2 boards is because: Some people suggested it *comment dismissed* and its so they could add other new boards * comment dismissed* its to make the site better not everyone will agree * comment dismissed*

agree to all of the above * you're rude *

Disagree with that * you're reported *

Buts it a debate about the different needs on different boards * wrings hands and faint*





;-) ;-) ;-)

I'd love it to go back to the way it was. I rarely ventured on to the old general board, it was full of doom and gloom, it was depressing. Even though there were rucks on Chat, at least we used to have a laugh in between them...and there were more laughs than rucks.

Now this board is full of depressing doom and gloom too, and the lighthearted banter has gone from here. Something I could have done with lots of in recent months. Thank goodness I keep in touch with people outside of here, and they cheer me up no end and keep me positive.

Well I think it's great. Where else in the world could you find somewhere to discuss the merits of domestic detergents alongside the definitive cure for Myelgichalfontica. Where else in cyberspace does your hard drive manically vibrate with the energy from pos thoughts? There's more prayers per kilobyte than at the vatican when another priests been caught with his hands in the wrong place and the domestic appliance advice is better than Which? magazine.

Nah, leave it the way it is. Wouldn't be fun any other way.
