Re: Split General Chat Forum?
Wouldn't it be better as a "General Car Chat" and "Drivel" rather than a Lotus specific forum?
I'm in favour of splitting it but I think a "Lotus chat only" forum would die pretty soon.

Re: Split General Chat Forum?
But then what's drivel and what's car drivel? Or what's Lotus related (did a car have Lotus input, etc)?
One of the reasons I think it's daft to split them FWIW.

Re: Split General Chat Forum?
So we're just abandoning the whole NLC thing and keeping it as one forum then yeah?


Re: Split General Chat Forum?
I think it works well on seloc and I rarely ever look at the chapman arms section so all the (non car related) crap is filtered out for me and that's why I like it.

I'm going to throw my hat into the ring and suggest that the status quo is maintained but that the suffix "MCD"* is added on the subject headline.
Using this system it would be able to see at a glance what the content was and has the added benifit that it could be added to certain members user name too - (thinking out loud Noops, Victor & Ken as suitable candidates)

OTOH SELOC has huge traffic that warrants two forums. I don't think we have enough and that splitting the forums will dilute the general feel of the place.simon wrote:I think it works well on seloc and I rarely ever look at the chapman arms section so all the (non car related) crap is filtered out for me and that's why I like it.

That said, I'll go along with the majority and this is just my opinion - can't please all of the people all of the time.

But shouldn't we be able to choose what we want to read?PhilA wrote:dont change it.
the site has grown well.
its nice to come across non lotus stuff in here amongst other lotus stuff.
If you want to buy a TV, a mobile phone or have a big slagging match this is the place to come

Pretty obvious how to avoid threads like that, titles. Don't click on it if you're not interested - seems simple enough... Slagging matches can occur in any thread, lotus related or otherwise. Not sure what point you're making - should people stop chatting informally at all? Pretty boring group, if that was the case...Scottd wrote:But shouldn't we be able to choose what we want to read?PhilA wrote:dont change it.

Were you not the bloke howling about censorship when we asked to curb swearing and nudity? Seems an odd reversal of opinion?

Hey I like reading junk sometimes, I just wouldn't mind having a choice.
To be honest, I'm not really bothered now.

Re: Split General Chat Forum?
What a load of bollocks..
It is the Forum equivalent of putting you pants in the sock drawer... If you open the sock drawer and find a pair of pants do you go and complain about it..? no your just thankful your misses has done your washing...
So just now we have one big drawer for pants and socks.. you want two drawers now because you cant be bothered hunting for your favorite banana hammock. And you want your mum (Admin) to come in and sort them out into the right drawer for you.
Your mum is far to busy with her own important stuff to be worrying about you finding your socks...
P.S. mum.. your doing a great job and we all love you, if you tell us off every now and then for swearing or looking at boobies then thats what a mum's for.

Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....
Re: Split General Chat Forum?
Very creative.
Well Seloc did it and it works. They realized you either have Seloc Chat and Chapman arms, or you only have Chapman arms. At the minute we only have Chapman arms.
Which is clearly what people want!?
P.S. I had suggested merging in the Technical section to the Lotus chat forum, not sure how that fits into ur sock drawer?!

Re: Split General Chat Forum?
I still think you can avoid the "junk" just by reading the name of the topic, its pretty obvious what is Lotus related, and what isnt. And i think dividing the forum into 2 seperate parts would kill the overall feel of general chat, See'ing as most of us post on non Lotus topics aswell as just Lotus ones
Its good to have some non lotus related banter in there aswell as just Lotus focussed chit chat.
