Hi all, a friendly reminder to please look at the topics on the board before you start a new one.

Currently there are 146 topics in this area. It starts to cause problems when it tops 100. So we have to go through and archive topics - or delete them.

This board is not like other boards where there are multiple pages in the same "area" - we manually move things. We manually delete things.

I know sometimes you think you have the coolest thought and no one else has thought of it, but please check the list of threads and see if there is something else that maybe you can just add your thought in, something close.

Also, when you DO decide to make a new topic, please make the Name informative, not just some random thing, otherwise you may find we edit it to clarify the topic being discussed in the thread - and we get grumpy when we have to do that too much.

Please keep posting, chatting, all the fun stuff, just please PLEASE check if there is a similar thread already open before you start a new one.

thanks :)

You really expect people to read over 100+ threads before posting something? Put in auto-delete once they fall below the 90 mark. It will same everybody time and frustration.

Otherwise expect duplicate threads. People will continue to make them (as I expect they have from the very existence of this thread).

No, we don't expect people to read 100+ threads--but we hope they will look at the titles--that may take a whopping 60 seconds.

Actually you could do a search on a word...say "Gerry" or say... "eviction" or whatever - hit CNTRL F and type it....that'll help...>:)

But I do think 100 topics was more realistic the first year then the 2nd or 3rd... lol...:)

And on a Mac, it's COMMAND F to search the page..

(Just looking out for us minorities) :-)

Well I'm not really complaining, so don't take me the wrong way. Just pointing out that the problem WILL persist. People are impatient. Its net-nature ;p

No worries, nobody is complaining. The problem IS a persistent one but we'll just have to archive the excess flood. The top few topics always float to the top and stay there anyways.

Smart people like to post where others will read it, others don't care and just start a new topic that drifts to the bottom.

But can I just say for the record, I love when Ryan starts all the threads that he does. He is so funny and insightful and comes up with the best topics of discussion. :)

I enjoy him and glad he is around. :)

Don't forget that anything to do stuff going on outside the house (including media coverage) should be tackled in the Outside the House folder, found on the main topics list.

Sorry for being new and not as savvy or as smart as the rest of you. Maybe I should go back to reading only, can't spell or use Englisf too good anyway.............

Please for the Mod to go ahead and "kill" my new one that don't belong here.

Chyang, it's not just because you're new! I've been here for awhile, and just realized that I've been posting to the wrong thread all day. I knew I had seen the thread I should have been in, but I couldn't find it earlier. Was looking in the wrong area for it!

Chyang, I created you a member folder and left you a message. I'm including a link to your folder below.

Yes, we love you Chyang! My "Outside the House" message was intended more to bump this topic to the top of the list than it was to chastise you! I'm glad you turned people onto this topic.

Just for the record, SOMEONE has to create the topics right!? Please don't resist if you feel the need!
