Diaries

[ohdear]

None of the diarists have ever argued against having a separate diary board as far as I'm aware?

I wouldn't mind at all.

someone said it earlier on the thread that the discussion started up once before but it was very quickly swept under the rug and no explinations were given as to why it was dismissed, i think i've made it clear on what my view is about why that probably was

OK then let's restart that debate. Why isn't there a separate board for diaries?

when you posted this comment i was going to write something like: "lol good luck with that", but thought i'd bury my cynicism for a while and give it a chance, got pretty much the response i expected.....

I haven't read any of ohdear's posts cos they're too long

[ohdear]

Its like you're a caveman

I feel you've denigrated cavemen, have you ever seen a cavemans carvings from 35,000 years ago? far more concise and succinct than my poorly constructed, excessively long posts

i have to +1 this

as soon as i've written them once i've gone away from the thread then come back again to re-read my post and see what a long winded poorly written post devoid of structure and proper grammer it actually is i usually think fuck that and move on to the next one

I think the reason there isn't a big debate is most people are like me. ie we're pretty indifferent since we have no ownership interest in the site.

Those that do, believe the various diaries are an attraction and the view count/page count on these is a selling point (to an extent).

Buried within your posts is a cogent alternative perspective. I think your perspective is quite logical and has a good deal of merit from a business point of view.

However, it isn't really surprising that existing forum users don't really give a shiz.

Best post of the thread so far.

And only 250 more to go before we can finance your poker in a staking thread or supplement your supplements from grimming us in some sort of body building scam

Dear oh dear,

I'm more than happy to contribute to this debate, with an open mind, asap.

Before I do, however, I'ld like to ask your permission to Post on this thread the PM you sent me this afternoon.

The thread has been about Diaries generally, & raises some interesting points, some fair, some not so, but it now transpires it was personal, & purely aimed at me, nobody else, & not at Diaries generally. We could have cut to the chase much sooner if only you had made your personal views about me known earlier.

We can still have the debate, of course, but as a starting point, it helps if everyone knows specifically what point you were trying to make, & why.

You OK with that?  I will not upload it, of course, unless you give your approval.

Let me know, please.

Very much this. What you say is pretty sensible, and well thought out.
Probs best not to go attacking people too early though (particularly not well respected posters like Tom / Tighty), as it deflects from the good points you are making.

FWIW I am also pretty indifferent, as I get much more out of the forum, than I put into it.
I can see though, how new visitors would feel more comfortable, if some changes were made, in line with your suggestions.

no i don't agree to it, the debate on here and pm i sent you are not connected, the things i said in the private message were private opinions seperate from that expressed here, if you need a "starting point" chose any of my posts from this thread.

I imagine your refrence to my pm is an attempt to again derail the discussion about diaries further, i really am interested to hear if there is a legitimate reason as to why not only do the diarys not have their own board but why the matter is never discussed and is always seemingly brushed under the rug

Sigh,as has been said, most of us aren't that bothered, .....sure you could argue it has pros and cons......but a bloody big mountain and a tiny molehill come to mind!

[Ironside]

are we there yet?

[sovietsong]

Sigh, I didn't even want to see the PM until I found out I wasn't going to see it...
