NEW FORUM LAYOUT
Well done Drew and Co. A decent format, an adult format and one which I am sure will attract a very different type of contributor.
Hopefully the format will deter some of the twits from posting and a more intelligent audience will result.
My Opinion: ALL TOPICS SHOULD BE CREATED BY ADMIN STAFF -- SHOULD BE RELEVANT TO SENIORS WHO HAVE A REAL INTEREST IN SUBJECTS THAT CONCERN SENIORS.
Good luck.
Geeheez you’re a ‘Piece of Work’ Lucca!
I know Toot and Rnr can stick up for themselves with intelligence and class, but can barely recall a time on this forum when they have deliberately set out to offend people as you have just done...
Over the years and as a person with an interest in history, news, current affairs etc. most times I log into the forum I’ve read through Rnr’s and Toot’s threads, and on occasion but not always (which is pretty much how most members deal with most comments on most threads), I have sometimes engaged in further discussion about an issue, incident, person etc. But mostly choose to read through the content offered....
Besides how the bloody hell would you know how large theirs, or any other member’s audience is for that matter?? That’s correct you don’t!!!!
The New Format is a freakin’ nightmare and why the hell YLC felt the need to change it is beyond me! Also why couldn’t they at least have mentioned it was a about to change - as in a warning of some sort! The only thing YLC ever needed to do was to reinstate the Private Messaging facility.
I’ve sent a email expressing my disappointment with the new format but no answer...
And yes you might be satisfied with ‘ALL TOPICS BEING CREATED BY ADMIN STAFF ....etc. etc. but have yet to be convinced that Admin know entirely what is of relevance and interest to Seniors ....Personally I prefer a combination of threads created by both Admin and members just to keep it RELEVANT and INTERESTING!
Similarly this encouragement of member pro-activity and independence through allowing members to start their own threads has some appeal to membership...
But hey Lucca if you childlike feel safer having the breadth and depth of discussion dictated to by some YLC staffer it might be a universally joyful moment for all concerned if you only ever responded to threads started by Admin and nothing else...
