This is meant to be a forum. A place where people can voice opinions an discuss many and varied topics with people from all over the world.

There is room for humour and downright sillyness but I'm pretty certain that many people are being put off visiting the forums because of an excess of pointless posting.

Before you post, please think if what you are about to say is a valid contribution to the thread, or is at least mildly amusing.

Lets keep the forums interesting 🙂

Yes, I agree. And I for one would like to see more good-hearted rivalry (websites, etc.). Do you and John have any plans, as Emeril would say, to "kick it up a notch?" 😲 Please make it hot. Kirk

I agree. 673+ posts of utter gibberish is about 650 too many. 😞

Kirk, I can't speak for Andrew. I think we wore out the Map War for the time being. The forums are not about Map Wars all the time. I would love to see two other rival for something in a friendly way. Though, I am keeping my Map Knight on alert in case Rhymesters Rebels get a wild hair up their (deleted).

Looking for two consecutive years as King Of Map. (I admit, Andrew had the crown for 4 hours in early or late November).😵😵

I agree. I mentioned to them about the silliness, and went right along with it 😉! It's gotten a bit more civilized of late, though.

The thread in question is a silly thread and not a forum for dicussing the meaning of life or a debate on the benefits of living in a Police State. It's obvious from the name that it is meaningless and I hope that anyone visiting the thread takes that into account. It's a fun place to make a quick post and those of us that are participating seem to be having fun.

I seriously hope we haven't offended anyone with the utter sillyness.🙄
It's just so darn addicting...😵😉

And others are posting single smileys with little or no point contributing nothing at all on the end of threads which have long since slipped down the page.

Well said Rhymester.

Okay Mark,

I haven't used many smileys, but I'm guilty of contributing to the longest post. Sometimes I just can't help myself. Hope you have been well. One day we'll have to play another game when I feel I can give you a decent challenge. :o) Always enjoy our games, but it's been a while.

Very sorry. Now that I think of it, my mindless posts are really, technically, just a pathetic variant of 'figging', given that there is a ranked list of posters. However, my post number is way out of proportion to my move number anyway (as I do transact my entire social life at RHP...😉). Sorry if we pissed anyone off.

I think this would be best explained by a (short 😉) thread in the 'help and site ideas forum. It, when I last saw it, was a brief chat between uncleAdam and myself. I think it may settle this issue.
