Understandable, but that takes the thread off into it's own little mini forum within a forum. I quit going to the crochet threads because it didn't seem to be about crochet anymore.

PC please go through that thread and take what information is in the journey and transfer it to a BYC page for yourself, and everyone just thinking of or going to do meat birds. Add the page link to your signature line, there is some great stuff there, but the majority of that thread is chit chat. It was fun at the time but no one wanting information is going to wade through all the old chatter. I'd love for it to be a page we can direct people to, or linked in the FAQ, or such.

I did not join that swap due to the chit chat on the thread. If a thread can not stay on topic you will loose far more participation than you gain. Please post in the correct forum, don't just add to any thread. For those that did sign up for the swap wading through all the off topic stuff to get the info they needed was a pain.

Also if you use search you will most likely find the answer you need, or if you don't make sure the keywords are in your post, the the post is in the right location so that search can find it for the next person that has the same problem. As off topic posts when we clean the threads the information is lost to people in the future that need to know. Search is by far the fastest way to get the right answer.

Mawchickkidie, it is great that you were able to get a quick answer and useful information withing the Crochet thread, however, that in itself creates a situation in which valuable information then isnt readily available to most forum members because it is buried within a different topic.

Certainly we wouldnt want to delete useful information, so if you think that there is off-topic information in your thread that should be preserved for other's benefit, perhaps you would be willing to cut and paste it into a thread in the appropriate topic area?

Thanks,

Chel Edited to add.... oops, I see Im late hitting the submit button and am redundant!

I honestly don't give a fig about post count, it's quality we should all strive for, not quantity.

Fancy Dancy title, huh? Those just happen, at the whim of a moderator. And how do you know that I don't want to be a Flock Mistress someday? Hmm?

























(Don't listen, moderators, I love my Fancy Dancy title!

Cup of Earl Grey anyone?

I agree. I just deleted I don't know how many pages of chatter and didn't find much that was informational. You might want to save what is left to your harddrive.
