The threads that go wild are in the wild part of the forum, so you can't really complain about them. |

No, no. Nothing at all wrong with your post. It was aimed specifically at DixieGal's post.

when I was new I would read the long threads for awhile, write down the page number I stopped at, do something else and come back to them. for the threads I was really interested in it was a lot of fun getting a weird kind of history of the place and picking up on the different and interesting characters

"Reactionary" because the mods won't lock any thread more than a week old?
"Aggressive" because you propose shutting off access to discussions we are participating in because you find them boring? There are solutions to your problems. You choose not to use them. Your choice. But that does not compel anyone to produce an alternative solution that you like more. |

What is the chatbox and who is this Dr. Drib? He sounds like he may be just what we need. My powers are too feeble to start and maintain an eternal thread. What is he a doctor of?

I have a feeling that this thread is becoming too long. And it contributes little. Neil
