Topic: Is the cr0 forum dying?

[Gav Iscon]

You can turn off the avatars and signatures in your profile settings. I like the Portal/home page with the recent curry porn on. The initial front page can get the boot for me but I don't think its dying. Its BBQ and salad  weather (although i have had some sort of curry everyday for over a week now with the remains of last night TA vindaloo for breakfast coming up)

Not posted on this forum for  about 3 years or so there was a lot of bitching and silliness going on then
.I have been looking in and noticed that there is a little change for the better so I will try again.
Been looking at other forums and 1 forum is run by a  strange person who can not be criticised and gets a whip out. Here at least you can voice an opinion others may not agree with but its democratic
No the forum is not dead or dying seasonal habits

I thought it was an ad. Yes, I agree, get rid of it please, DO 

I think It's bus destnations, But why, who knows

Now, I wonder who on earth that would be,

Glad we have your approval now noble ox, welcome back.

It's a large, highly irritating, flashing graphic of London streets or something. Try turning avatars/signatures back on, so you can see what I mean and tell me if you think it's good or bad for the forum. Garp thought it might be an ad, so that would make it spam and we all know what happens to spam merchants.  There are VERY FEW rules and constraints here but DO seems to go out of his way to break most of them.

It appears to be 'bus destinations to me, George.  But as I feel that neither avatars nor signatures have any relevance to our raison d'etre, I have disabled their display again.  If you find DO's signature offensive, you may wish to do likewise.

Another reason why people might be turned off the forum now, is your current, most irritating flashing graphic signature.

I totally agree

I hope its not dying as its a great resource and has given me endless hours of pleasure and fun.

As of today I have now gotten a reasonable repertoire of Chinese dishes to add to my Indian offerings. Fabulous!

I have a lovely chinese alternative to my Chicken tikka dish when i'm on a healthy phase but fancy a change - Chicken satay using jimmys sate sauce, recommended by ScottyM!

Thanks guys and lets keep it going!!!

Not too sure if Jimmys Sate Sauce ticks many healthy boxes, Ed 

[Edwin Catflap]

Hi Garp

I know but I only use it as a marinade so there's no sauce to speak of, so fingers crossed relatively healthy but i haven't examined the ingredients such as salt etc

Cheers

Phil  - are you almost saying: "I'm alright Jack" without much thought for the bulk of the membership?

No, I'm saying that our members (who are an intelligent and well-informed bunch) need to be aware that the display of signatures and avatars is a profile-selectable option, and those who (like myself) find them an unnecessary distraction should consider turning them off.  If you don't like one individual's choice of signature, yet still elect to have signatures displayed, then rather than cricitise that individual (who is simply exercising his democratic right to have a signature of his choice), you might do better to ask Stew to remove that functionality from the board completely.
