Still on about the Guides? :-D Where else should it have gone? Life? Either way it probably would have got the same amount of replies.

And Meka, you could have just posted a link to the story in your 'in competition' thread but I guess I'll take what I can get. I'm gonna put a very short piece there in a sec so WATCH OUT!

Hey, i just posted my competition story in the stories forum, as well as in the 'In Competition' thread.

I didn't see the point in starting a new thread in this forum for it.

Basically, it comes doen to the fact that people will read it in here, but not as many in the stories forum.

My solution?

Post them in both.....

No idea, but I presume you posted in Chat so you got replies? Well, that's why people post here, so constructive and meaningful comments can be given, instead of, like I said in another thread, some newbie quoting the whole thing 3 times with different names saying 'good' at the bottom.

Blokey I aren't goin to go on quoting you. Maybe you are more qualified to talk about the forum than me, so go ahead.

Like it was when we last had GAD1? The only reason the Stories forum died isn't through lack of interest for stories, it's through lack of putting stories in the damn thing.

Exactly, so I feel slightly more qualified to talk about forum activity than you.

> Yes I would, but I wouldn't say anything out of politeness.

Polite? I would be wrong, and it would be within your right to tell me to put my topics in the right place.

So you wouldn't think it strange if I started posting loads of sport topics in here, gaming topics in sport...?

It is a forum that has had its heyday and will be sparse for a while they repopulate once again. It has happened with a lot of the forums whilst I have been here. Blokey, you cannot tell people what to do and where to post - they will do it on their own accord eventually.

Hope not, he frightened me into posting my story in there instead of in here :)

I like reading the stories both in here and in the story forum. The ones on here tend, usually, to be just short stories.
