i'll just sit in the corner and be quiet.

everyone should just shut up

We did have a bit of a purge a while ago - and most people got the message and kept it to a minimum or went to the Megathread...

... but yes, it has crept up a bit in recent weeks.

Perhaps folks could take this as a bit of a gentle reminder so we [the mods] don't have to resort to purging threads again.

Just wait for the good weather

As Fizz said, forums grown so to be expected, just don't spam pointlessly really

Something that bugs me in Idle Banter are the threads titled 'For X' or 'Oi, X' trying to get soneones attention- isn't that what PM is for?!

and there is a lot of pointless silly threads

"Bugs you" ? A bit strong a word, don't you think ....perhaps you need more stress in your life . Sorry, couldn't resist

Well, yeah.... I suppose it is, but new PMs are easy to miss (well, they are for me) when all you get is a small, unobtrusive link in the top right-hand corner..... IIRC, we used to get a dialogue box pop up when we logged in on the old Forums. Is there an option that allows us to have this?

Also, the "Oi" type threads allow other folks to bring it to the attention of the intended recipient when they might not otherwise be looking at the forums.

I don't use facebook or anyother social networking sites. I have enough sites to keep up with as it is. Why should we need to go elsewhere to talk to people that for the most part we met on here in the first place? That's just plain daft.

It's called Idle Banter for a reason. Don't like it? Don't come here

Just my view.

Couldn't resist what? I don't get it?! Why would I want more stress in my life?
