What do others think ?

Post by Bob Pacey » Thu Sep 27, 2012 6:08 am

Hey everyone, I think i may have mentioned this before but i really do think we should all try to post an avatar of some sort ? I may never get to meet some of my cyber friends but I think being able to see who you are converseing with is great. ?


Plus I'm a big sticky beak ! :lol: :lol: :lol:

No but really I think it is a nice touch amoungst friends ?

I also suggested to Manfred that consideration should be given to removing and forum members who have not visited the site for an extended period ? eg twelve months before things get too cluttered ? We have some already who have not been onsite since 2011 ?

Oh and also the possibility of moving the new members and birthday section to the top of the page in the index section for easy visibility ?

Bob, I agree, but some of the blokes might be really ugly.

As for the ladies, well !

I don't think we should legislate avatars Bob. Just my view.

Although I do think it is better if real names are included in the profile together with any noms de plume (or is that nom de plumes.) That's just a subjective preference.

There are a lot of members who don't post on the site, but I think I'm right in saying that they may well visit and read, so I don't think they would want to be deleted just because they don't post comments or poems.

Can you tell if someone visits but doesn't post ?? or if members don't visit ??

With respect Bob, I don't see you giving any reasons for your suggestions other than that you are a sticky beak :) . A proposition not supported by reasons is a proposition that really can't be considered valid.

Does it matter if folk are looking or not, does it clog up the running up the forum?

Perhaps some folks are just resting.
