    Re: Suggestion for a new forum

    I'm more of an "onlooker" than a participant. Don't seem to find the time some of you muster up, but I still like to drop by when I can. Mostly just enjoy reading the banter and make a mental note of some of those special ideas that I'll come back to and find with the search one day.

    Obviously found the forum on google looking for something specific, but it was the fam friendly or maybe just plain friendly attitude that made me think of hanging around. I like that it's not just loud and crude, but can still be a lot of fun.

    There must be many others like me that hang around the edges for the same reason. It's still good to think about "why?", but leave it like it is I reckon.

    Well I meet one of those criteria but appear to be discriminated against because of my Age
    and it discriminates against the fairer Sex

    Perhaps there should be a new Sub Section for us silly old buggars

    On another forum of which I am an ADMIN on, we did have a Closed Chat Section, just for members, as being a public forum just like this one, needed to be closed off.
    It worked well for sometime, but started to get out of hand and Moderation of that section was becoming constant as constant breach's of our ToU's were happening. With that, we as Admin were not keeping up with the moderation of the overall Forum and so we decided to close down that part of the forum.
    That was a hard decision and some of the usual members chucked a wobbly, but to be honest, it has now been a year down the track that we closed off that section and the overal forum is a much better place for everyone concerned and now runnin gmuch smoother. We Admin have just over 12800 members in our forum and is growing at an average rate at the moment of 8 new members per day.

    A seperate section is worth looking at, but very strict ToU's would need to be put in place and enforced, to try and keep the peace. Also you need to think about the Administrators extra work load.
    What the Admin here could do is get a couple of Moderators (dedicated members) set up to just look after it for them.

    Now, where did those grey hairs go this time..... Good luck......
