Joke section?
This might suit better as a stickied thread in the Off Topic forum :)Quote:

Isn't avoiding that exactly why you started this place?
A joke section would likely become a place for bad taste, and that would create dissension. There is always a minority who haven't a clue what self moderation is, let them do it around behind a shed, not invite them to do it here in public.
Maybe I have not looked hard enough in the personal menu, but is it possible to open a thread in its entirity? Rather than read through pages consecutively.
Nope - its a server setting, and increases the load a shitload if setup that way
I used to love winding up people on another certain site I used to frequent, But in all honesty there were more shit fights in there than anywhere elseQuote:

Fair enough :)Quote:

What else could we possibly want? Certainly not a politics section. That would be the end of this great place.
A forum chat room ?
If I told all my good jokes here, then why would anyone want to meet up over a brew with me?! ;)Quote:

How does that sound ?
Bloody good idea!Quote:

Perhaps an area where members can post a search for others that might be interested in an up coming hunt trip rather than cancelling the trip when others have baled out!
The hunting section perhapsQuote:

How about a 'what we stand for or 'why we started this forum' information section where the no politics etc stuff can be clearly explained. This would avoid future arguments on the topic and give future members a better understanding before they join.
