Just an idea that has popped in my head - a typical reaction for anyone coming from the Beeb format to Proboards is that they can't find their way around - would it be better not to have too many itemised boards and just have threads?
Another thought was to totally rip off the Beeb and have a veggie board, a clinic & a chat board.

I agree Lottie that we shouldn't have too many boards, but don't agree about having a clinic, veggie or any other garden related board because this isn't a gardening forum as such, it's just an extension of the Beeb boards where people can come to chat. There are plenty of other gardening boards already so I think it best if we try and stick to the original plan.

Hello everyone, & thanks for starting this - I was thinking something like this would be good for all the people like me who find the forums with lots of boards difficult to navigate so I'm very happy to be here

Glad you like it Juliet We aim to keep it simple. One board for announcements and admin type stuff and one for OTGF postings. It's not meant to be in opposition it's hopefully going to be seen as an add on to the beeb boards where you don't get your wrist slapped for wandering off topic. We love to go a wandering!

Hello one and all,
I know I've not been a great conversationalist on the old boards - I have tended to be more of a lurker than participant on the OTGF threads, but it does feel good to be unmonitored and amongst like-minded people who now feel very much like old friends.
If it's OK with you I'd love to drift in and out of discussions here too.
Best wishes
Trillium

I would prefer knitting mueseli, but I'll go with the general opinion

Post by Juliet on Mar 19, 2008 18:12:02 GMT 1
Knitting muesli would certainly be less messy, though I'm not sure how we string it onto our needles

Thank God, what a fantastic idea! I'm so relieved. I'm also pissed off that just as I have joined I have to go to school to watch Bugsy Malone.
I personally would prefer to knit pasta than watch Bugsy Malone, and if my son ever reads this I never said that.

Hello folks!!
Just in case I don't get an opportunity later on, I hope everyone has a lovely Easter.
We're departing for the Lakes tomorrow. We have booked a caravan and are hoping that we don't get blown away in the gale force winds or snowed under. Still, I'm looking forward to some serious fell walking and will be back in about ten days time to check up on the progress of the alternative potting shed.

Hi JFlo Hope you have a nice Easter break - take care of yourself. Janerowena how strange I think Bugsy Malone must be doing the school rounds as I have to go and watch granddaughter perform in it in a few weeks time. OH said exactly the same as you so he's babysitting"!!! ;D ;D Px
