Community Corner
TV ClubHouse: Archives: Community Corner
Gail | Friday, October 04, 2002 - 10:40 pm     A few members requested that we create a "Community Corner" - a place for some of the long term threads so you don't have to keep searching for them. This area is also a bit more private - if you are a member, you can read and post. If you are not a member, you can't access that area. Let me know what other threads you would like to see there. I think this was partly for privacy but mostly for the really common, long term threads so you could find them easier. |

Katlady53 | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 09:02 am     Would the Empty Nest Syndrome and New Parents threads be appropriate for the Community Corner, too? |
Whoami | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 09:58 am     One of the original ideas for the Community Corner is to have a place for the "perpetual" threads. The ones that don't always have a constant posting, and therefore get pushed way down the page with new threads, and other threads being bumped up. But, these perpetual threads serve unique purposes, and if they are in CC, they'd be easier to find, and not end up getting archived out. Some threads that came to mind (that aren't there now) were: What Does Your Screen Name Mean I Have A Dumb Question The Getaway Corner The Morning Brunch The Afternoon Tea Getting to Know You Where is Everyone From Suggestions/Advice Needed The discussion over "What Does Your Screen Name Mean" suggested that it should stay in General Discussions so it is accessable to non-members too (with the thought that it could entice people to join). My reason for nominating it is cause it is a perpetual thread, and is often in danger of getting bumped way down the page. Along with "Where is Everybody From," which does give personal info (where we live), therefore making it perhaps a good choice for the Community Corner, maybe we should also add the "Message Map" one. That not only gives our local, but is too fun a thread to let be archived out too! So, those are my !  |
Gail | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 10:15 am     For those who had trouble posting in the Community corner, try it now. |
Gail | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 10:20 am     I'll move a few other threads here in bit. I was getting pretty sleepy last night and so didn't move everything. I also wanted to give a few people time to get used to this. Plus, I wanted to make sure I didn't screw something up - you know, making it so NOBODY could post or something dumb like that?  |
Gail | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 10:38 am     I would like to remind everyone that even though the Community Corner requires you to be a member here to read, that area like the member's area are readable by all of our members. Durning BB, we had almost 3500 members. Even with me deleting alll the unused accounts, we still have over 1500 members who have logged in in the past week or two. Of that 1500, at least 1,000 are still actively reading on a daily basis. And, we are still adding at least 5 new members each day. I just want you all to understand - having this area will keep it from being viewed by people just surfing who chance upon this board but there is nothing to stop people from joining and going in there unless they have been banned from this site. All I'm saying is, don't post anything there that you wouldn't post in the members area and just use common sense. We want everyone to have a good time and we also want everyone feel comfortable posting too. Just realize that having that area private doesn't mean it is totally private. Okay? |
Egbok | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 10:45 am     Thanks for the info Gail, I'm always learning on this board! The CC looks great so far. |
Gail | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 11:03 am     Can somebody try posting in the Community Corner for me. I need to see if I fixed that posting problem or not. |
Sia | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 11:48 am     K, Gail. See "You Are Beautiful" thread. Gail, you're the best! Thanks.  |
