I voted I'm starting to think I shouldn't have - at least there was a majority before I voted - in the wrong direction of course

I....uh.... I haven't voted... see, the thing is, here is how i think - I didn;t even know there was a sex forum here until now. Perhaps it sprouted up when i wasn't looking ! You minxy Tiggerwoos, you. 70 posts in the 'last posts' thing sounds like a great deal of posts... I have i think 10 at VegansRock, but of course it's considerably less populated than here... I'd maybe have like, 20 or 30 if i had this forum, at most, because having 70 posts downloading (including any included pictures) can be a bit hefty unless you have a broadband conenction. I don't mind where the chat thread is (looks inconspicuous) so i can't really comment there... So i guess i have a null sort of vote thing going on here.

OK, we're going to be closing the poll on Friday and it's still 50-50. The only way I can see out of this is a trial for a week or so of the other version and then going back to a week of this version or vice versa unless we have a change dramatically swaying in one direction to see how people find both versions ........... So get your votes in!

I think the problem is the choice given... it would be easier to keep the chat thread private, but not include it in the last 70 threads thing.
It's only people who go into the chat bit that see the posts in the last 70 threads thing anyway. But I can't see the benefit of disabling the last 70 threads cos I use it a lot... I also wouldnt be too keen on the chitchat thread going public either...

I did vote - but didnt post a reply.. I think that maybe if the chitchat thread was to become public then the best idea is to start afresh - that would avoid personal details or opinions within the threads that people would rather not be displayed, suddenly being on view to all. If the chitchat thread is started off anew then we all have the choice whether we put personal info/whatever into it. As it stands maybe peeps have written stuff they wouldnt of necessarily done, had the threads not been in a private protected forum. I dont mind either way now Ive had more thought on the matter, but I do stick by what Ive just written. Its not fair just to shift the thread into view IMO (if indeed that is what is to be done)

Very good point Lavender, I agree with you there. One thing I don't like about this poll though is that there's obviously people who have voted who don't really post here very much at all. If they're not posting in the other sections why be so interested in the daily chit chat of the regular members? No offence to anyone but it seemed that some people just showed up to vote then b*ggered off

to say what i said before but in a readable sentence:
why do the two issues have to be combined?
people without chitchat access will get the non-chit chat posts in the top 70 and if people wanna chitchat then they desreve to get lots of waffle in their top 70. they can always check the top 70 before loginto chitchat?

Its also the issue of having a private chat area S&L where people can speak a bit more freely out of public view. It would all be a lot simpler if people weren't running telling tales & copying & pasting what we talk about which is invasive & creepy.

Because if the fast chat is made public it'll automatically go on to the 70 posts function which people complained about when it was public, it's how the softwear works. If it's kept private people talk more freely and don't want just any tom, DICK or Jane getting the password, especially when they're passing it on which is against forum rules and could jepordise their membership.

I still don't see the " view last 70 posts" option?? It's at the bottom of the main index page. Under "forum statistics".

Hi all, just to let you know I've decided to trial putting the chat section into public and disabling the last 70 posts to see how it goes, as the voting stated it was slightly in favour of this.
It's not a foregone conclusion, but as the forum is getting pretty chatty again which I don't mind, but the quieter non chatters don't have to feel not left out and the chatters can still post but it gives all the chance to post on other subjects without tying the last 70 posts up.
The sex threads and more personal stuff will remain subscription only, so remember to keep the chat thread clean as younger people may be viewing it.
This way everyone gets a fair crack of the whip.
Thanks for your co-operation.
