Whoah folks!!!!

Isnt the way this thread has developed exactly what dan was trying to avoid by starting it in the first place?

Its just become another chat thread hasnt it? 3 pages added (at least )since i last looked at it.

Dan, you should have posted your request and then locked the thread mate. Now look whats happened

Bear in mind GC...we are in the shed...not out in the main forums

Hi All,

I have noticed that over time thread discipline has deteriorated, with more and more threads becoming general 'talking shops'.

Whilst I understand how easy it is for this to happen, it does make things rather difficult to follow some times.

Can I therefore ask that we try to keep 'on topic' with threads, and try to keep general chit chat in The Shed, and The Watershed.

Hope that is clear, and you don't think I am an ogre!

Cheers

Dan

Consider it done - as well as a few lilies while your at it. ;)

Now for a bit of pig braiding, goat wanging and wellie riding :-\

But its still not 'On Topic' is it. A thread about 'Thread Dicipline' should - in my opinion - be about just that. If you wish to go off on one then start a new thread. ;D ;)

I think the point is Richard, that in the Shed we can give up the pretence that it's possible - or even desirable - to stay on topic at all.

Then whats the point in seperate topics TM? Lets just have one big topic with no divisions and see how we get on?

redimp · « **Reply #208 on:** January 07, 2006, 19:03:12 »

I think some people want to turn all the forums into an episode of Just a Minute.

undercarriage plan · « **Reply #209 on:** January 07, 2006, 19:04:37 »

I'm sorry if I've upset you, Richard, I just can't see the problem. This is chit chat and it's in the shed? I trust Dan and he joined them together and said now off you go, and I am? I don't see that anyone is being harmed. I have been very well behaved elsewhere and have stuck to topic. To be honest I don't see why this is a problem. :-\ Dan said not to insult, I never would, can't spell half the insults anyway, I suppose I just wish this thread would drop, but keeps getting pulled up again....anyway, I'm back on topic! :-X

terrace max · « **Reply #210 on:** January 07, 2006, 19:09:42 »

Just picked the first decent sized topic in 'Edibles'. In under two pages (and post-Dan's request) the topic covers earwigs, photo prowess, seed quality and , oh yes, aubergines...!!

I'm sorry but I can't see staying on topic as realistic or desirable. Sure the banter should be confined to the shed but to complain about it in here is - errm - odd.

redimp · « **Reply #211 on:** January 07, 2006, 19:15:01 »

Those complaining will probably find that because 'Please delete' and 'Thread Discipline' have become chatting threads that threads elsewhere (and other threads in The Shed) stay on topic. We are saving the frivolity for these two threads and nowhere else. Those complaining have been in and out of here, no what this thread is about, so if they do not like it, stay out of the thread. Its a bit like complaining about telly programmes - there is always the off button.

If you can't take the banter, get out of the shed.....

Ooops sorry that should be in Old Sayings thread.....

terrace max · « **Reply #213 on:** January 07, 2006, 19:22:33 »
