MY POSTS HAVE GONE DOWN?

I heard someone describe facebook once as "too many people, with nothing to say, saying too much"

I think that just about sums Facebook up. :)

Sounds like a few females in this household :whistle:

I agree with all the above arguments for "trimming", but may I suggest that the , non brewing, welcome posts are not trimmed.
I feel these are a very important part of the forum.

As the ninja that does a lot of the trimming in the Introduce yourself Forum, I intend to stop at about 6 months worth . . .but the issue for me is that often these threads contain brewing info . . . . It is an incredible amount of work to read each thread and split out the relevant stuff . . .so it is deleted wholesale . . .in many ways this is a shame, in others the questions have already been answered elsewhere in the forum.

I am investigating a mod that allows us to exclude certain fora and threads from the post count which will hopefully eliminate the post count issue

Thanks Aleman, imo, the welcome new members thread is a great way to make people feel welcome but shouldn't really count toward "brewing knowledge posts", I hope that those that can take the time to welcome new members dont stop doing so if it doesn't add to their post count.

Then again if that happens they were doing it for the wrong reason in the first place :lol:

I simply dont have the time personally to welcome every new member, which is a shame so stopped quite a while ago

Cut the welcome posts...as I said I don't think the snug should count..I will be one of the guys that will still say hi to any new member, I feel it's important that if a new guy/gal joins the forum that they get a response..if they don't then it's only human nature to think "maybe I'm not wanted"....I'm not worried if my post count stays the same..
First and foremost the forum was setup (I presume) to discuss & debate home brew...It's good that we have the Snug/Ebay and the like..and If I see anything that's worth it I'll still post in these.. :thumb:
