I'll be looking at ways to streamline and make this place friendlier and more conducive to community spirit.

NO WAY am I doing away with the "writing" core of this forum... but there's room for a little fun too.

Everyone join me in trying to build some community spirit and FUN.

If new members arrive, let your warm welcomes extend beyond just the Welcome thread. Invite them in and make this their new FRIENDLY HOME!

Awesome! Well, in the spirit of things I will be selling fun and sense of community for extremely good rates:

£30 per word association thread.
£50 for a carton of conversation.
£25 a scoop of witty banter.
£5000 buys you a compliment from the mighty Fifthwind!

I accept Paypal ¬_¬

In the meantime, I started the "true or False" thread to get some posting going and to give an opportunity to learn some interesting little tid-bits about each other. Do try to be honest on the thread (within reason)

The recognition section has not been deleted, it's just locked and hidden until I decide how to handle it. I like the idea, but it's a nightmare to upkeep. It's really hard to do all the links and cross-referencing in there. So, as soon as I find a way to simplify the process and entry format, I'll un-hide it and make it more active.
