This is interesting indeed. There was a link to it from Bill Ferny's 'What if I...SCREAM?!' I would probably never have entered it, if Lush hadn't intrigued me by mentioning that one of her more embarrasing posts - the one with Valinor decorating the sky - was in it.

I cannot bring myself to write typos deliberately, nor abbreviate chat-style. It feels horrible and unfamiliar, and, as VanimaEdhel puts it - wrong.

But I definitely like threads where people who I know and respect, so to speak, have posted. It indicates that they have thought the thread worth their time - so I continue reading.

I don't understand people when they say 'I haven't read right through, but...' - one, as Estelyn points out - why should we bother to read their post if they won't read ours? And two, if you don't read the posts, it often happens that you don't know what's happening in those later pages. Consequently the post is repetitive and way behind the times.

So open the 'hypothetical questions' forum and the 'Random Questions to plague everyone with' forum. And last, but most definitely not least, you should open the 'Hottest Actor' forum.

Perhaps a forum where you can rant without being off topic, since there is no topic?

Cheers,
