What do YOU want this forum to be?

[Beth Gallagher]

It turns dark at night.

Mine has a black background all the time. I guess I have that set on my MacBook.

Hedi could go ahead and start her Roll Call thread, and it would be another place for alumni members to check in and ask about each other right now.
Once you have the whole forum set up and Introductions is in its own place, then you could make the roll call into a sub-forum at that time.
Right now, pretty much everything is just threads under the chatting umbrella area.

As happened before, I can't always make it known if I lose connection due earthquake, fire, or some other disaster, but I think I have @Yvonne Smith and @John Brunner on my other devices, so I can notify them perhaps if I am still alive and capable at least.

I just noticed that on the main forum list, sections with unread posts have a different color logo thing (two conversation bubbles??) That's pretty cool.

Games thread ….hopefully I can round up others to came play and game or 2 with me ….

And hopefully @John Brunner will be around as well as others , I used to enjoy chatting with about cooking and preserving in general

I’ve been to busy chatting to look if we have a gardening section as yet

No matter what we want it to be, it will be a a sounding board for us seniors who like talking about old times, and health matters,

 

[Shirley Martin]

Bring back our games.

 

[Kate Ellery]

Hey @Shirley Martin ..good to see ya ….

 

[Beth Gallagher]

Bring back our games.

Hey Shirley! Ken is still working on the forum and is traveling home from a trip today. I'm sure he'll be setting up the Games section ASAP.

 

[Kate Ellery]

I promise I’ll chat~ as well as play games …. After all the games help me keep the ole grey matter churning ~~so I can remember the steps when we go dancing …

 

[Lois E. Winters]

I love all manner of humor, but do draw the line at some of the dreadful stuff I have seen in the past and elsewhere. Perhaps there could be general humor, senior humor, what kids say, and something along those lines.

 

[Kate Ellery]

I’ve got a bit of sense of humour ..I like clean funnies like this

 

[Steve North]

What I would like from this forum ?????????

The same as we had with the old forum........ No name bashing, No insults, No insulting,...........
Just a pleasant forum where everyone gets along just fine.........

In other words,.............................. MELLOW....

Would anyone see a problem with placing the Games forum in the Chit-Chat category? It would still be able to house as many game threads as anyone wants, but I'm trying to keep the number of categories to a minimum.

Personally I'd put it under Lounge & Coffee Bar. I'm not sure people would find it under Chit-Chat, but I don't play the games so I guess I should butt out on this one.

 

[Yvonne Smith]

I don’t play games either. Maybe games and the humor/jokes section can be together ?

 

[Joe Riley]

I could never understand why in the faith and religion section, that the atheist thread was a pinned or sticky post. It seemed like it was an invitation for arguments and kept posters away.

 

[Ken Anderson]

Lounge & Coffee Bar is what I meant to say, alongside of Chit-Chat.
