Elections do seem to drag long absent members back in, don’t they?
I think there are more voting here than in the election for Mod of Environment? Amazing, isn’t it? LOL!
The “Herbert” and “Setanta” candidacies are a bit suss LOL! So is Aussie’s latest banning, clearly meant to stop him campaigning for me
I am having fun. I am, I hope, imparting a bit of knowledge. The sewer has put on a major campaign “Anyone but Monk” but I think, nevertheless, that I will be the victor tomorrow and OzPol the real winner. If I have the most real votes, which I believe I do then I will be the Mod here.
So not entirely a clean campaign against my candidature but if I win I win.
Yes, I can see some...
Do you think those that haven't posted in over 6 or 8 months should be removed from the vote?
I think it was me that brought it up when I saw the numbers.. my immediate thought was
impossible...
even with socks...
I think 6 months is a bit short people do get sick or move and then restart.. but at least 12 months of not posting......
I dunno what do others think??....I think it should be put to the members a bit late here but for the future...if someone comes in to vote and havent posted in 5 years
it doesnt say much for all those who do contribute on a regular basis.....
same goes for a mod who never posts until it looks like they might lose their board
give aussie his due he does contribute.....and bobby posts all over the forum not just his own little world.. it all counts...
I was absent for 2 years away from any forum, just the way I felt because of the way “life happens”.
I came back January this year, and so my opinion is.... I was still a registered member and felt the need to come back in.... just because.
And the ability and choice was still available to do so.
Old members can come back anytime and their contribution welcomed, whether little posting, or constant posting, horses for courses.
Whatever inspires one, so be it.
If you look at the date I joined, the amount of posts I have made, it’s not a lot is it? Compared to other posters I’m a small time poster, but I think... maybe it’s quality over quantity 🤗😂, or maybe just commenting in forum topics that interest or inspire me, which I pick and choose, and try to keep on topic? I’m not so knowledgeable on all the forum topics, but I’m willing to read and learn quietly without posting.
Commenting or posting too much is too much noise in my head, so I like reading quietly to ponder about what is written.
I wasn’t here earlier, I’m here now, who knows where I will be in future, I think of myself as either/or being consistently inconsistent, or inconsistently consistent 🤗
If voting brings past forum members alive and inspired to post again, like a forgotten art of expression, then why not?
Goodness knows some may have lost a partner and need this for a bit of mind companionship etc.
Well that’s my thoughts.
