following from what Nos said..
That's it exactly.
it merely serves to dilute relevant information long term, & especially for others who visit infrequently, or don't necessarily have english as a fully-blown 1st language, & muddles any chance of translation with or without a translatory tool.
we all do it, I just saw the opportunity to point out how adrift from the main it was going of late, having tried it for myself.
(i'm one of those who can happily stand at a bar for 6 hours without the need to speak ((bar ordering)), ..perhaps I ought to be a Finn)

P.B. watch out for internet dictionaries there are alot of really bad ones out there with some really skewed definitions, I love the English / Latin Language & used to read dictionaries or older language books, as a kid them like others read novels, especially Slang! ..was very good weaponry for putting down teachers.
Better than Sodoku for the brain, look at Nicholas Parsons for instance.

well I'm in agreement with sane, should we go back and have a spring clean of our posts? Or just moderate what we write from now on?
I will do gus, I didnt reconize the word and thought it important to find the defintion as what you were saying was important.

I hope you guys arent to cross, I have stopped commenting on everything (at least in text, my partner thinks I'm weird talking to myself now lmao)

nos you can be male and own mama mia and be bad a parking! gah! :lol: I'm female and own tools and action movies! :P

can we make a 'natter' thread? just for random conversation, then people for cant be bothered can just ignore it.... also if anyone seems to be going off topic in other threads they can say 'i'll tell you in so-and-so thread'? just an idea....

well, silence AIN'T necessarilly golden, so just be aware that's all it needs, ..a modicum of moderation, someone else on the board really highlighted this for me a few weeks ago by mentioning not understanding half of whats mentioned off season ..which got me thinking, esp when ryan mentioned (last halloween maybe) as to the breakdown of downloaded stencils from around the world.
(not a ticking off,.. not my place, simply an observation as to the site)
Idea's don't evolve without thought.

no gus, we appreciate you mentioning it, otherwise it would have carried on until someone did get cross.

I'm pming more now for my random stuff, and keeping little comments to myself (unless its REALLY funny lol... well at least to me lmao)

and gus, you havent got back to my last pm, any news on that? :)

and I can I just point out... I DID mention (possibly in this thread) earlier that I was going to be run out of ZP with torches, pitchforks and pointy sticks LMAO! :lol: (I'm not saying I'm being run out, just saying I'm aware I can be quite wearing lol)

Nice of you to consider editing old posts, but doing so could make a thread confusing if people replied to what you had said (since you can't edit their posts).

I eventually do a bit of cleaning around here, from time to time. Especially on older topics. Some are weeks, months, or even years old. Assuming they have been read by all who wanted to read them by now, I figure its okay to do a little cleaning and condensing.

I'll remove/edit posts with missing images, since those are no longer useful. Condense conversations slightly, keeping them on topic. For the sake of archiving lots of useful information here, I don't want to outright delete a lot of topics, but just clean them up.

That's the old post though, the more recently active threads are mostly left as is, so the conversation is natural and organic. But sometimes I (and others) may try to steer the conversation and keep it on topic.

When deciding what to write, another thing you might think about it where you are posting it. For example, this particular page is paddy_babe's personal introduction thread. So if there was any place you could post some random natter, this would probably be it. Those that don't wish to meet paddy_babe don't have to read this topic.

But if you were posting somewhere on the forum that was more specific.... such as a thread for "Saral Transfer Paper review" that would be an area where casual chat is discouraged, since the concept is to only post useful product reviews.

Who wouldnt want to meet me ryan?! :lol: jks
I've started doing this and think its better. I've also started coming back onto topics in the one post (e.g if I answered something, then refer to something different BUT linked.. I then mention the first 'something' again) does that make sense or am I rambling again? lol
