Thought that would get your attention! I have just had a peek at the site after being away for a long while (hence those of you who see my unsavoury soubriquet 'extreme veteran' and wonder: who he? Anyhow, glancing through the latest threads I noticed two dominant issues:
1. Responses to posts which may have commercial motives. Discussion goes on and on...and on
2. Contributors getting bored with subject, saying time to end thread. Argument ensues.
Can I make a suggestion here? Threads without responses quickly slide down the list and if you are like me you tend only to look at latest posts. Hence, if a commercial entry is just ignored by everyone it will quickly disappear into oblivion, and the contributor eventually realizes his efforts would be better spent elsewhere. Same if you are fed up with a thread - why keep it alive by posting on it, wouldn't it be better to start a new one, or just for devilment resurrect a really old thread?
If this gets no responses then I know it works!
