No more posting things on multiple boards. You can't expect peopel to follow things in multiple places. If you have a fun idea, pick a place to post it. If you have personal information you want to post in a private forum, pick a place to post it.

Posting in multiple places, and then assuming everyone has read everything in all the places, is absurd, and only leads to confusion and people saying "Well, you could register there to read it if you wanted to."

People don't want to, or can't, or they would have already...

There are mutliple boards, they have different atmospheres... any given post will fit better in one place than another... so just put it there. If you want everyone to read it, just post a link... people that want to, will go read it. People that don't, or can't... won't.

Such is life around here.

But I'm sick of being expected to go elsewhere to continue a discussion here.

Is this directed at me? If so, I was asked to cross post info about a 2008 moot both here and at TOB from discussions that started over at HoF. Nothing is any secret, if anyone needs me to post the entire transcript, or at least the pertinent parts, I will gladly do so.,. :scratch: :scratch:

well, it wasn't specifically directed at you... but it's the same thing... people at HOF want to plan a moot, that's fine, go ahead, but it can't be planned both here and there, that won't work... so plan it there.

I, for one, will know nothing about it, and I'm fine with that.

I honestly don't believe that anyone is intentionally trying to upset anyone else. So, why not just relax and don't worry about stuff like that??? It works for me.:)

I didn't say people were trying to intentionally upset other people, but the fact that they are doing it UNintentionally is the problem.

When I did post at more than one board, I never had any problem choosing which board a post or thought was more appropriate for. It's not terribly difficult.

I have friends in multiple places and if I would like to discuss the same thing with them all, then I will do so. There is nothing wrong with doing so.

Especially when a Moot is involved.

The Ireland Moot never would have happened if Alatar hadn't been kind enough to post it on all 3 boards and be invested in getting people there.

But it did happen and it was a lovely, diverse and fun Moot.

Besides, people will cross-post if they want. I don't think it is possible (or reasonable) to make some kind of "rule" against it!

there is when you expect them to go to a place they are not registered, or say, BANNED, to continue the discussion. As I said, if they wanted to, they would be.

I'm not a big fan of crossposting or posting on multiple boards for that matter.
Events have unfortunately necessitated this vey thing though and there is no way around it.

Crossposting m00t threads does nothing but make sense in order to reach the most people. It is a common thing.

Nobody is forced to read anything and certainly nobody is forced to reply.
Most definitely nobody can tell anyone else what to post.

Oh yes they can, most everywhere else but here.

Well, I'm not really sure how this subject applies to you, Holby. It's quite evident that you choose to post most often at HOF, and you say you're never tempted to cross-post... so in action you agree with what I'm saying.

You interpret whatever you want however you want.
I'll just sit here and shake my head.

Yeah, because you're so much better than me... way to be condescending there...

The approach you have taken these last however many years has not worked. I have come to the conclusion that you aren't capable of seeing anything other than in your own jaded myopic view.
I don't expect you to do anything differently because I don't believe you can.
Just continue on with the world is wrong and I am right mentality.
It is all you know.

Yeah, I'm all fucked up in the head, and everyone else around here is perfect. No one has ever said anything bad about me, held grudges agaist me, or ever caused a problem that they later blamed on me.

who the fuck are you to judge me, Holby?
