At the moment my visits here are infrequent, yet my interest is still strong and I am working hard to try to put a new show together for this summer bigger and better than the last. Trying to keep up with all the threads, some of which are ancient and some irrelevant and some of which turn into outright bickering is now pretty hard work and I wonder at how to organise things and archive the really special bits I have seen emerge over the past year and how to let go of the dross.

This must be true for every web forum.

How would people feel if the moderators, or others were to ruthlessly go through old threads and cut them down to the essential learning bits? Would anyone be prepared to put the time in to do this? Could we all take on a thread each? Could we do this without affecting peoples 'score' of which I know some are proud?

I don't think any pruning is required to be honest. Compared to some of the other forums out there, this place is rather tidy.

We (the admins/mods) try our best to keep everything on topic and in the right place, and most of the members help to this extent too.

Go read through 'Battle field effects'

Whats the point in asking for comments if all you do is snub them coz you cant take criticism?

[Richard H]

What? Gor, I can't help but feel you've got a grudge to bear, so whats the problem?

Well please tell me what you think is wrong with it. Criticism where it is due.. and I dont see any need in this case.

As much as we would like to organise the posts for you into a concise bitesize package we arent going to do that for you or anyone. Pull your finger out and just read through them.

Giving 'Battlefield effects' as an example was a bad move. Its 4 pages long, so what?! It is orderly and contains the relevant information.

If you dont like the way the forum is run, go and find another one.
