Has Pet Talk Changed?

Thanks Karen. SAS did PM me with some hints on how to do that. I just need to take the time to figure it out.

Thanks to you for a great site!! Even though I surf at work it's given me many lunch hours of pleasure and comfort!!

LOL - I am poor at spelling and grammar and punctuation!!! Yikes I better just lurk. I spend too much time on here anyway.

Liz, just wanted to ask you, why you think limiting number of posts in one day? Just wondering!

This has always been a great message board in the past - Thank you Karen and Paul!

Sammi,

" Liz, just wanted to ask you, why you think limiting number of posts in one day? Just wondering! "

Not a limit on the number of posts, but a limit on the number
of new threads by the same person on the same day. Ever log
on a find 4,5 or 6 new threads all by the same person? Thats
going overboard I think. Do you know what I mean? Liz.
Just my opinion. :D

Nooooooo! :(:(:( Please don't ask that. :( Sometimes there is a lot of important things to say. What if someone's pet is ill, or someone gets a new pet? We need updates. That would prevent people from posting, and they'll end up making new names just to post. :(:(:(

Now I know how rumors get started. LOL. Pops, please read
what I said when asked the question by Sammi. Thanks.

I did! :D I just don't see why the number of threads posted by a person should be limited. :confused: I'm sure you have a reason for asking this. What is it, if you don't mind? ;)

I think what was being brought up was the ability to hog the site by posting stupid topics just for the sake of it! I know, I know, stupid to one may not be stupid to another. I think the folks who need to be "seen" and have nothing else better to do with their down time, post for the sake of posting and not out of interest or with a sense of contributing to the site/threads.

I have PM'd persons in the past, mentioning that they might be "over doing it" by posting so many different topics and hogging the forum. As one might guess, I didn't get very positive responses! :p

I find some of the posts so childish and boring. Ok, now that I may have offended some of you, I rest my case and will not post on this topic again.

I like Pet Talk but don't like some of the posts....and I stay out of them for the most part! That is my choice. And posting stupid topics is a choice as well.

The end.
SAS

All i really have to say aobut that topic, if they're so childish and boring to you, just don't click on it.

I hope my posts aren't annoying! The only threads I made today are Floppsy pics, and the Kelsey thread.:(
I check each and every one of my posts before I post them; I reread them 5-6 times, change spelling errors (although sometimes I forget), and add anything else. I hope nobody has been offended by my January-Now posts, and if so, please tell me and I will find a way to make them less annoying.:)

P.S. I hope my sig is better-I tried to resize it, and now it's 48kb. I know it's still too big, but I can't find a way to reduce the kb anymore. If I made it any smaller, it would be hard to see.

I started to post, then it got too long and I erased it. I agree with some parts of most of the previous posts. I just want to say, I'm sorry for the part I have played in the turmoil. I may not have actually set out to start trouble but I know I didn't walk away from it either. I have been bored/depressed lately, maybe that is why I have been in the 'general' part of pt so much lately.I guess if we don't want people to sign up as new members just to make trouble we should not do it either, it probably looks bad to people to look at pettalk and see all that, even tho most of pt is very good. Like they say about work, leave it at the office, don't bring it home, I guess that applies here, log on here to have fun, and talk about pets. Sometimes I do like to talk about other topics, but I guess we can chat on the internet with people to do that, and not on pettalk. some of the off-pet subjects are nice tho.
I guess if there is a subject that seems too controversial, we can choose to ignore it. Well that is all I can think of now.

also, I have noticed a difference, alot of younger kids here, since last summer, but it has just been the last month or 2 that posts have seemed to turn mean

FLS,

I thought your sig pics were fine just the way they were
before. You do have a lot of pets & it's understandable that
you would like to show them all.In the smaller size they don't
seem clear enough. Just my opinion.:D

You shouldn't feel sorry. I for one, don't feel like you have been a problem. I enjoy reading your posts. I wish I had known about PetTalk a couple of years ago when I was going through a bad spell in my life. To me, the "General" section is a place for us to get to know each other better. Since I only have cats, I don't go to the Dog or Pet forum. Here in the "General" section, I get to meet more PetTalkers.:)

thanks catland. same with me, I am always in the cat forum, and lately have gone over to the general section. I want to start reading more of the dog section, becasue alot of people that have cats have dogs and other pets too, and I think I am missing alot of things from there.

I have about 5 minutes to talk..but no more until summer:( I couldn't resist this thread..

Am i one of the annoying young one's?Please be truthful with me!!!!!

Not to my recollection.

I've only been a member here for almost a year so the only change has been that there are more members now. I love it here and wouldn't change a thing. :)

I agree.......I'll admit, I'm not that good at spelling...I was horrible in English class. But (I hope) my posts at least make sense. I do use capital letters and punctuation. I think that drives me crazy the most with that is the page long post with NO paragraphs! I don't even bother to read it.

And I also agree that it's not necessarily an age thing, but a maturity thing!

As far as the signature, I have a really cruddy 56k connection, very very slow computer, and I've never had trouble loading pics. The ones I have trouble with are the ANIMATIONS....those sometimes even freeze my computer. I hope mine is not too big. :(
