Quote:I agree with you Grumpychap.....

 

The paradox is this - if there was no "what have you done", would the contributors have bothered to start a whole new thread ?

 

Imagine 50 threads all titled "I fitted stainless bolts today...."   not likely to happen is it ?

A topic containing 121 pages of 'stuff' isn't valuable to this site, it's basically the equivalent of a twatter feed.  Read once then forgotten forever. When it comes to wanting, then finding, specific info ie the valuable stuff, and a lot of peeps join us for that very reason, they're not gonna trawl through mahoosive topics reading every relevant post.  Takes too long and would put most peeps off looking.

Quote:Why not move it to it's own Sub, and call it the Shout Box - then it becomes what it is - a "shout out" therad.

 

You could even lock the Sub down so no new threads are started, and it just contains the What Have You thread.

Now to what bothers me about this thread and some of late - manners!

 

Everyone is entitled to their own view / comment / whatever, but have the savility, and adultness to express them in a way you would expect to be spoken to.

Those that admin Carpe do so with no remuneration other than Carpe itself.  We are all equals here, with some taking their own time to keep this place going from a systematic perspective, and a sterling job they've done/are doing.

 

 

Couldn't agree more! Civility costs nothing.

 

Calling contributors and / or administrators 'Natzis' and such like is not on. The Natzis were a bunch of lying, thieving, vicious, murderous thugs who committed acts of unspeakable disgust, the consequences of which still blight many millions of lives throughout Europe and beyond. It is not a term to be bandied about lightly, and certainly has no place here.

• I perceive a problem
  
• A discussion
  
• Does anyone else agree with me
  
• Are there downsides
  
• What would be a sensible solution
  

• This. You must comply!

So where is the civility here?

 

How about first

• I perceive a problem
  
• A discussion
  
• Does anyone else agree with me
  
• Are there downsides
  
• What would be a sensible solution
  

Instead of

• This. You must comply!
  

Already, I sense you understand my point.

Thank you. I thought that too! Didn't know where to go though.

I agree.

 

The point is this.

 

The "What Have" thread, is what it is.

 

It isn't harmful, it doesn't distract, it even helps attract the everyday bullshit away from the "MEANINGFUL/SEARCHABLE/INFORMATIVE" content jizz, that is so important.

 

If you are "forum lost", it is because you are looking in the wrong place and are most likely clueless, in ways that I can't even stretch to accommodate.

 

A convoluted argument is being used, that even I can't un-convolute, to then make a decent point.

 

If you "of concerned bent", actually care, you will see that you have all made the above points yourselves, just from the position and languages of your own mindsets.

 

Bottom line - It would be a loss to the forum and a red flag, if the "What Have You" thread was closed.

 

Might as well as start a "Today, I Have Mostly............" thread, for what it is worth.

Fine if that's your opinion, but if you think it's more than your opinion and that you actually know what everyone else should do and what they should prefer why not try to write out a full and final list of topics, so that we can all benefit ?
