..the thing is Sheriff that you started a thread asking a question..maybe some people would think that it's the sort of question you could have asked privately to the mod team to verify what the rules were on threads or explain if something has offended you...but you made a thread instead and it's created posts and activity...if you had done it differently then we would probably all not have anything to post in this morning...so in a way it's a good thing, right..?...

....someone made a thread a few days ago about the number of members online yet no one was posting...that's not a good thing because the forum could die if that happens... so it seems better to have some activity and hopefully if different members start threads then there'll be 'something for everyone' as well...

..no, I'm not preaching at all or trying to remind you of the rules...you made a thread about this which has created activity on the forum this morning and if you hadn't then it possibly would have been very quiet, so that's a good thing isn't it..?...other people are doing the same though..maybe they could find things out on google but if they did then we would have much less to post in here...I think that no activity is the worst thing...I think it's a good thing you started the thread and am glad that other people do but I wish more people would as well....

you dont need to remind me of the rule's you would do better with the member's that keep getting banned for breaking them!

Ammi isn't reminding you of the rules, she's talking about forum activity. I think you're probably closer with the people who are banned more frequently, so maybe you could help them out.

..yeah but they've been banned for breaking rules so 'issue' has already been taken with them..I'm not sure what you're trying to say ...this thread like many other threads could be seen as 'not necessary'..but if those threads didn't exist at all then there would be virtually no forum...

your post trying to preach to me about rule's is not necessary, but you did post in the wiping your bum thread, so you dont care any way

..if you read my post in there then you know that I commented on the 'weird and wonderful' of the variety of threads and topics on TiBB and not the topic itself...it may not have been 'my sort' of thread but some members had fun with it and that's the point really...I'm not trying to preach to anyone and escpecially about what threads they make because if they don't interest me then I wont post in them...but when people are bored because it's quiet and they make what other people may see as a 'silly thread' then at least it creates an interest in the forum and the amount of interest it gets will dictate whether it's 'silly' or not anyway....if it gets 0 posts the yeah, well it probably was abit silly....

..actually I'm glad LJ reminded me of the word 'sarcasm' because I have not been either sarcastic or insulting/offensive in this thread at all...this thread has recieved over 50 posts this morning and my feelings are that sort of activity wouldn't have occurred on the forum without your thread, so for me it's a good thing which I stated from the beginning...the same can be said of any other posts you may be referring to..if they are 'silly' posts or unnecessary posts then no one will post in them but so long as they do create interest then the 'point' of them is very obvious ..I myself recall a sweetcorn thread recently which recieved far more posts than whether tinned sweetcorn was already cooked or not merited but that's because it created interest and became fun for lots of members...if people don't feel it's fun then there is always the option to not participate or report if you feel it breaks a rule...we all have those options....

....you seem so defensive in this that you have become offensive and failed to see that I was actually complimenting your thread as 'all threads are good threads' including yours, especially at quiet times ...unless they break rules of the forum or are designed to snipe at/offend members obviously....
