I know the board is not very active but the only name I can find as a moderator or admin who has been active in the past year is Majonic and he’s not been here for over a week.

We seem to be getting more than our fair share of spam members and threads so is there anybody active who can deal with the...

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck?

When we first came up with that there weren't any live action Discworld movies, but now there are two it sort of sounds like we think they both 'suck' when I'm sure most of us don't.

I've saved the text, so it's not a huge deal, but I'm left wondering if this is a glitch or if we can only write miniature blogs.

Okay peoples, I've started a Social group called Board Photographers.

I imagined a place where the photographers** can meet and discuss or swap techniques, news etc. Probably you just want to brag about your recent technolgical aquisition.

**(ie. can you press the button without photographing your own ear?)

I thought it would keep the main board clear of trivia that may only be of interest to a few members.

Let's see...

I mean, if you've posted, survived at least one flame/rant, and haven't been banned, then technically you're a 'friend' right?

I was just curious to see if anyone added posters as friends here. My brief perusal of profiles says no...any idea why (not)?]]> 10 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 13:05:23 +0000 http://www.terrypratchettbooks.co.uk/discworld/threads/chat-room-trouble-some-advice-please.1291/ http://www.terrypratchettbooks.co.uk/discworld/threads/chat-room-trouble-some-advice-please.1291/ invalid@example.com (Joculator) Joculator

Something not too work intensive, of course, otherwise it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

I'm asking because time and again, threads that rested in limbo for ages are being revived with a post that either adds nothing really new or repeats previous statements. I realize that it is sometimes easier to chime in an existing thread, and the...

On the Home Page for the Board, I have two tabs:

My Blog Dashboard
MyBlog Dashboard

Is there a reason for both? The second one opens up in a new window but they seem to go to the same place. Bear in mind that I do colour my hair, and cannot be held responsible for what the peroxide has done to my brain if there's a valid reason for both tabs.

Chairs!

I normally just move things to the DD, having deleted any links or nasties, but today I've just deleted two threads that were nothing more than porn links. Is the soft copy thing that gets left problematic? Is it better just to move things to the DD?

This is my take on things regarding rules, thought I may as well have a go at it then we can add to it, take stuff away, or implement it into something else. It's mostly taken from ideas on another message board I've been involved in for a very long time, not all my own work in other words.

I like the idea of calling it 'Code of Conduct' better than 'posting rules' or anything with rules in the...
