In this forum you may post "less intelligent" matter only in The Worlds Longest Thread.

If you want to start a new topic that's not the "stuff of the FOG" then you should post it in FOG (Chatter).

The stuff of this forum is:

Anything which constitutes an interesting topic, providing it is well written with reasonable spelling and punctuation.

Short comments ARE allowed, but don't damage a story thread.

Short posts, joking etc, even sniping, is all fine. Let's not lose sight of that. But it must be in the spirit of the FOG. "I blo u way wiv my gun" would only be acceptable in the Worlds Longest Thread.

Grix used to have some rules about Newbies. Personally I think it's great to see a blatant GD attempt on FOG every once in a while, and a few snipes from Sniper.

Of course any rules here can only be loosely enforced.

Some slightly revised rules applicable to this forum only will be added to the UKdiscussions home page.

Of course they will only be loosely enforced, but I think some guidence will be helpful.

What would be most useful is if people "went along with this" for the time being while we see how it pans out.

There is about 30% growth in the number of postings on discussions in the last month and I am sure that we needed this change to the structure to accommodate further increases. (pre-emptive action)

You know when Wallace & Gromit visit the moon? Well, that thing looks like the little robot that is stranded on the moon.

I felt so sad for him, poor fella only wanted to Ski. And yes, the robot was ugly.

I really think a chat would be a good idea. I mean I REALLY think a chat would be the best thing for the Site. For the benefit of the site, I think we should start a chat up. A chat would be the best way to rid the FOG of all the rubbish that M16, Sniper and Goatboy Post...:D Also I feel a chat would be a good Idea....


....Anyway you look at it, you have to get the idea.

Maybe it is the title Tony doesn't like.....

What about "SR Members Casual Conference" or "The Special Reserve Instant Conversation Program" - We want chat...

(Who's backing you..)

Backing....?

(Pathetic.)

What is the "Special Reserve Chat" link then?

Anyway, you have made a good decision not to have chat on your servers. I thought you weren't into all that techno bod stuff?

I don't know how could the SR servers are, but usually a chat room really saps CPU and RAM resources. It might not be viable.

Could you teel me what they're like please, Tony?
