I was thinking of doing that actually.
August 17, 2018 at 11:19
I didn't know it was either until our resident IT whiz kid Michael suggested it might be.
August 17, 2018 at 11:15
Voting for categories as a default homepage would go some way to making it organized similarly to old PF.
August 17, 2018 at 11:13
In the end, it looks like it's going to come down to categories vs. some exclusions (being test-run now), and it will be up to jrob to choose which. H...

This discussion is not intended to be a debate on any particular poster. If it were, and that poster was Street, I'd say he's one of our best. But it'...
August 17, 2018 at 10:29
Yes, test running that. Categories is ahead on the poll though. Yes, and doesn't seem to be any option in the settings to deal with that.
August 17, 2018 at 10:21
Anyhow, if we do implement this, I personally hope it will help in encouraging me to post less about the orange-faced circus freak some people have th...

Last thing we need is more bloody feedback, eh? :naughty: I've gone with option three for now.
August 17, 2018 at 08:11
(I meant to write 'categories' not 'categoried' for option 2. Thanks phone! But it still makes sense, so I'm not doing the whole thing over again.)
August 17, 2018 at 08:07
OK. Apologies to those who voted. Please revote. Option three regards excluding the lounge only. I believe that's the main offender for drawing energy...
August 17, 2018 at 08:05
Too late to adjust the poll, but feedback on the Michael option (now being test run) welcome.
August 17, 2018 at 07:57
And as per my reply, good idea. Test running it now (lounge category excluded) .
August 17, 2018 at 07:50
Actually, yes, now that I've had a poke around under the hood. I've just given it a test run. That may be a good solution to keeping the Shoutbox in p...
August 17, 2018 at 07:49
Damn... Best of luck anyway. Remind me to pay you a visit when you're a millionaire. :wink:
August 17, 2018 at 06:43
Yes. And it wasn't his fault. Just picked the wrong guy to sell to.
August 17, 2018 at 06:02
I think it's a good idea (and it can be changed any time actually). Just out at the moment, but will put a poll up later. Final decision will then be ...

He registered and posted a couple of times, but he didn't migrate as in post regularly.
August 17, 2018 at 04:21
That is fuzzy. :) Short version: Paul, after selling PF to someone called Porat, who turned out to be a shyster, stayed on the mod team of the old sit...
August 17, 2018 at 04:06
No worries. Appreciate all the good suggestions. Keep them coming.
August 17, 2018 at 03:48
I tend to agree. It's tempting to jump in without much forethought the way things are at the minute.
August 17, 2018 at 03:38
You could be right and maybe it's something we all need to be aware of and push back against more.
August 17, 2018 at 03:33
Tell you what, I'll stick a poll up later today. Final decision will be down to @"jamalrob", but it will be worth gauging opinion. I am leaning toward...
August 17, 2018 at 03:30
Having been an admod on both sites, I don't see any evidence standards were higher on old PF. There was no golden age in my view. There may be some di...

Well, I asked Hanover a couple of direct questions above on the racism issue, which he ignored. That's his prerogative, so I'm not going to bang my he...

I don't know what you can do at this point except laugh at this shit.

GW crashed the economy through idiotic policies of financial deregulation which Obama had to reverse, so he didn't continue what GW set in motion. He ...
August 16, 2018 at 14:49
And Trump can thank Obama. The economy merely continued on the trajectory he set. All Trump did was come in and balloon your deficit to give massive t...

August 16, 2018 at 11:28
It would be hardly surprising as the Democrat party was virulently racist at the time. Of course, there's absolutely no connection between that and Tr...

Hear, hear. She needs to crawl into a metaphorical hole somewhere and not come out until after the Dems win the next election.
August 15, 2018 at 18:35
This is a pretty weak argument. As if racists wouldn't let their racism leak into policy. Let's get real. There's a million ways that could happen and...
August 15, 2018 at 18:32
I knew you'd say that. I missed my chance to call @"Benkei" a left-wing fairy for thinking you'd agree with any of it.
August 15, 2018 at 18:02
Thank fuck for that. I've had enough making enemies for one night.
August 15, 2018 at 17:58
Not sure about prurience and titillation. That would depend on how the situation was presented. But in so far as a partner of another race is consider...

One good thing about business is everyone's money is equally desirable.

Incidentally, @"Benkei", my family is mixed race, so racism is not just a real problem for me as it would be even if everyone in my family and everyon...
August 15, 2018 at 17:08
Didn't get around to addressing that but yes, just like any serious ethical issue we take a side on. That should go without saying.
August 15, 2018 at 17:05
Why do you respond to serious comments with sarcastic shit-posts? What do you achieve by it? Ok, well that's just another highly ignorant comment. I'v...

Maybe America is just significantly more racist and tolerant of racism than I thought. I'm open to being moved on this. It's just not a direction I li...

Don't be a . In Western Europe, along with, I can fairly confidently add, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, use of the N word by a national leader w...
August 15, 2018 at 16:15
That's sad if true. Can't wrap my head around it. But then I don't live there and you do.
August 15, 2018 at 16:10
National insurance on top of that though, right?
