There's been way too much unnescessary posting going on around here lately which we've let slide, but it's time to pull people back into line, I've been meaning to do it for a while but just havn't had the time...
I'm calling for everyone to think about what they're posting and decide if it's really nescessary, do you really need to post every single thought that enters your head?
Also we've said it before and we'll keep saying it, make use of the search engine, there's no need to go starting new threads when there's other perfectly useful threads available... At the moment we've got about 3 birthday threads, 3 lolly threads and 3 photo's threads...
Now we've got no problem with different birthday threads for different people, but we don't need one thread proposing the idea of a birthdays web site, and another thread actually implementing the idea...
Onto the photo's threads... I started this thread so that we could have a collection of all the photos taken at the many events we attend, there's no need to go starting new threads for every single event...
Here's a couple of threads I want everyone to have a read of, even if you've read them before, go and read them again:
Bluelight Server is Over Loaded Again - Think Before You Post
Attn all posters.
While you may think the first one is no longer relevant because we have a new server, it is still relevant because of the parts of the thread which deal with the many other issues related to the use of this site.
And while we're at it, go and read the guidelines again too...
Basically, this board is sliding too far from what it was originally intended for, and while growth and development is fine, while we socialise we can't afford to lose site of the intent of this site, to provide people with information, not entertainment...
Feel free to reply with any comments, any additions to anything I've said...
{edit: Maybe I should have said constructive comments, shank, yours isn't helpful...}
