Title: The chat section
Post by: Rico on March 27, 2006, 09:53:38 AM
It seems some folks here like to just kind of chat back and forth.  :phone   Now this isn't that bad a thing, but it does disrupt threads that people have posted.  They go way off-topic pretty quickly.  Well, here's a section to just chat if you want.  Also, threads that turn into just a conversation and are way off from the topic will get moved here.  I hope this helps.   :biggrin

Thanks...Sorry, I think I tend to wander a lot when I post, and when I talk. I'll try not too in the future.. This is a nice addition to the forum.

No problem Jen.  I just looked at some threads that after a couple of pages were talking about something completely off from the starting topic.  So this is now a nice place to do that in this section.

oh, rico, can you move the ST vs SW topic into here and unlock it?

Sorry, but I think that will just create problems.  While conversations are fine, certain how should I say "heated" topics are best left off these forums.

I think that this is a good idea, but a lot of people won't just start a conversation here, you and Kenny are going to have to move threads that have gone into a conversation into here, Rico.

yeah, i think thats the point. when a topic goes way off track, it gets moved. i doubt many people will actually start a conversation topic.

Well what we are hoping is that you guys will realize after a few posts that a topic is going off topic and then can create a new topic in the coversation area and continue your conversation. The point of this section is for everyone to try and stay on topic, and if you want to chat then start a topic in here.
