I don't know Rita, the other night there were lots of good threds on here and few A-Zs, I guess most people are out this evening. What I don't understand is, why don't the people adding to the A-Zs add some decent threads? |

well, they were fine at first, an excuse to exercise your brain and gave you something to do between posting. But they have gone on too long now and must be repeating themselves. they just clog up the boards now. |

I put up threads about different things but because they are early in the morning before 5am mostly, people don't go back to look so they mostly die a death. It's so boring on here now at night as there is no one out to play the way there used to be unless Susan with numbers comes to join me and then our friends from the other side of the world. |

Hi Ann, I really come over to gen now, I got sick of the A-Z threads and doom and gloom. I agree the site isnt the same as it was 5 years ago, but I think thats because there is more sites available now, when I started posting here the threeads use to move so quickly and at times it was very entertaining and adictive, I still read chat and post on there...but I still like this site. |

Tina Elizabeth, the birthdays have never been on one site but they only ever used to be of people on the boards. we now get a lot more for relatives, friends etc. |

Some of us have been put off trying to put our point accross,because we get abused for daring to have an opinion. |

Nina, it is not that we mind but when 8 of them are on the first page they block all the other threads and put people off looking any further, especially new people because they think it is a games board. |

If all the A-Zs are on the first page, there are a lot of them, people go on the board and all they see are A-Zs so they don't actually block other threads but they make it appear there are no other threads. Some people, if they don't see anything interesting on the first page just don't look any further. You will see a lot of people who only post on Chat because the A-Zs have taken over Gen. |

Ann, I plod through the day's threads and reply if I have something to add, and also try to make sure the birthday threads are added to so they are on the first page but if someone else comes in and just does all the puzzles before going off to their daily routine, then everything is back to the second page, there used to be people who would look back to see what was going on the day before as I had, but now everyone just comes on here and steams into the current day. |
