ok well since Neddy made his big announcement about who's talking and who's not. and he's leaving etc
its become clear that some members think its not right to use this club for chat and pointless banter as it clog's the site up with junk,
often threads start of with a serious note then evolve into banter but i guess that's just the way it is
now i use the pub for most of my threads just because i do most are quick questions, so not worth clogging up the technical space
some are funny and some are not
but in my opinion if people want to chat and have fun in the pub area, why not its not harming anyone and if its not your thing dont use the pub
now i dont drink so i dont use real pub's . but i dont say you should close all pubs just cos i dont drink or use pubs
your welcome to have your say and hope bats going to join in too .
after all its his club
Just my opinion but if you start a chatty thread then its for chatting fair enough.
But some posts are started asking a question etc then just go to mush as some members pop on and go straight off topic and start talkin drivel.
Some times it can take a few pages to get back on track.
Use the pub for chatting posts etc but have respect for others posts and keep to topic.
Hope that makes sence

Thats what I was trying to say before.
Personally don't mind at all if a thread starts on one tech subject and evolves into another tech subject, a mod can always change the title to reflect it anyway, but chatter about how many posts people have ade in the mddle of it all (as an example) is a pain in the arris

Personally I have to say that if I see a thread started by Zippy or sometimes Extreme I tend not to look at it as I expect it to be fairly pointless.
The last thread I looked at started by one of the above made a comment in the first line of the thread and then I had to pull the page down loads to get tto the comment.
What a waste of space!
What a waste of space!
Sorry Nejones, The post or the poster?.

when space is needed I'm sure Bat will cut the pub area archive first, so no space be lost, just used by some thing else first.

Mav, the wifes called me a waste of space before, i know I'm here to get help and if i can help. but the social side is here too.
but thats the idea. id say mines around 40 percent technical and 60 fun

every one here knows I'm the fun one, the joker, so 99% started by me will be in the area,
as Ive said earlier, ill not post in the tech area fun and silly bits if its relay now wanted, I'm just trying to lighten the place up a little
A simple rule, keep the technical section for technical issues... and the Pub for none tech talk.
It doesn't matter if a subject in the Pub goes off topic, that's how dialogue evolves in the real pubs.
Apart from physically meeting people, the only way to get to know the people on here is by general conversation.
If all we talked about was hubs and tyres this place would be boring as fek :nenau
