A new topic

[bibblebub]

Should there be a hatched, matched and dispatched topic?

[factor-fiction]

Do you mean a Poetry section/topic?

[factor-fiction]

Ah- I think you mean births, weddings and RIPs.
We do seem to have a few recently.

[ummmm]

And farewells to people going to pastures new :-(

[AB Editor]

"Announcements"... We could do, but doesn't CB cover it? Or do you mean a non-chatty topic for it?

[cazzz1975]

I like that idea, it would be useful for people that rarely log in or people who have been absent for a period. not to mention it would keep people up to date with whats going on (announcements ect)

[rowanwitch]

something more structured would be nice... and some of the sadder threads probably don't sit too well in CB where there is a degree of light heartedness

[cazzz1975]

cb is too fast moving to be honest ed, if someone posts an announcement depending on the traffic it could be missing by the evening if there are a lot of posts in that time.

[ummmm]

I think CB covers it....

I think some people get bored of it though...

But hey, Claireeno made 1,400 quid for leaving Ireland....that's worthy of a post :-)

[bibblebub]

Maybe a topic for news about users.

(and people just leaving the site could be said to have 'scratched')

[cazzz1975]

I agree with rowan, some announcements are quite sombre and its at odds with the whole free spirited light heartedness of CB

[ummmm]

I suppose...

[factor-fiction]

A "Where (who) are they now?" topic would be interesting because I often wonder what happened to regulars who disappear, but I can understand why the Ed wouldn't want us going on about banned users.

[tara20]

Maybe a kind of message/notice board?
With a subsection for FAOs, etc. they also disappear so quickly and get missed.

[mccfluff]

i like that idea, there should be cake tho

[anneasquith]

great idea,births, deaths, engagements, weddings, divorces, and where is so/so ,

[vivandorron]

Ed.....A serious section for announcements such as " Ron has gone, he's passed on: the sage died of old age. Thank god, he was a sod".

Please withhold from publication until I tell you.!!

Ron.

What about "Members' News"? exclusively for information like this, and not to be used for discussing other things (or slagging each other off ;-( )

[LoftyLottie]

Good idea! In fact a very good idea. Things get lost quickly in CB. Unless you are permanently on AB you miss a great deal of these announcements.

So yes please Ed. give it a go!!
