I'm new to forum participation and find it quite fascinating and terribly addictive. I have noticed that there are folks who spoil threads by conducting private conversations and they do it to multiple threads. I'm wondering what the majority of folks expect to put in and get out of forums. If most fall within categories 1 to 7, then maybe together we can squeeze out these ignorant pratts.

Isolation is your choice.
If you want to rid, than you should rid yourself.

By participating on the forums I've been able to meet some of the best, most loyal friends I've ever had.
I also find it a fun pass time. I really enjoy it. wave

Although I don't agree with her notion of "getting rid of these ignorant pratts", mainly because I'm likely one of them (grin ), I don't see any need to chase her off either.

The forums have been dying since CS introduced the new layout, and I know of many people that just don;t have any interest in participating anymore. I preferred the old layout myself, but have stuck it out, got used to it, but still find it annoying. We can't afford to run people off, or there will be nobody here, other than the fanatics in the political and religious threads, argueing about who's right and who's left.doh laugh
