Note: There is a copy of this one the other FOG as well. Please read the whole of this.


I think this whole 2 FOGs thing is a disatser. It was great before, and I don;t think too many people complained. Sure you got the odd newbie who post some crap topics but they stop after a while and everything's great.

We have regulars because you know that they are usually there at some point and you can chat with them Now there are 2 FOGs you don't know which one they're concentrating on and so I'll end up posting in both. I used to have to have 2 windows open and I could cope very nicely with the one forum, and I would methodically go down each the topics, reading them all and adopting a few to chat on. No I'll have to have 4 windows open to keep up, and I will not be a happy chappy. The response time on posts will half and I might stop coming, because the great response time is what I used to come here for.

I know you've got a webby there with you, so can you please get rid of the chatter forum and rename it something useful, like SR Posse stories. Then, whenever a SR Posse story come in, we can all know, and go and look. You could also somehow work it out so that people in the FOg forum would be alerted of a new SR Posse story.

There, I've said it.

SR could choose sensible regualars and e-mail them. The regular then e-mails back with his vote

Grix, about this voting thing?

In your opinion, who would do the voting? Would all current regulars get in straight away, some of the current regulars are as bad as some newbies in my opinion.

How would the whole thing work?

If that happens Morrigan, then the word count thing for becoming a regular will have to be abolished, as all the newbie forum will be are hundreds of posts, just so they can get into the regular one.

And then we'll be lumbered with them. :0)

Or, as the wonderful er-no said, ;0), we could vote newbies in.

I've just thought of something. Since the new newbies and everyone else make the forum busy during the day(And clogs up everything), to slow the real FOG down a bit-how about having a FOG forum at night only (Maybe after 8) that will require the user to be a regular to enter? The SR Webmasters could e-mail a password for Regulars to enter with. But only after 8!
well?
