Martin B Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Fine, I'll do a poll and see what interest it generates. Let that be the judge. Thankyou Kate. I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 if this doesn't work Martin, I'll set one up on facebook and/or myspace or somewhere- I'd rather have it here but i want to swap stories and experiences with fellow ex batt owners so we'll see what comes of the poll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 If there are only a handful of yes votes, the BHWT section would obviously just appeal to a very small section of the forum membership so wouldn't go ahead. If the vote is an overwhelming yes, a section would be created. If the vote goes against the section, a sticky for swapping stories would probably be the best way to go on instead and it is something I'd be happy to set up for you.

Couperman Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I agree with Kate of the Superpants The mods on here do a great job so lets not make it any more difficult for them. Also don't forget that this is Omlet's site and they may wish to stay neutral. Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 The mods on here do a great job so lets not make it any more difficult for them. . that's not in question and i don't think an extra sticky would make things any more difficult for them, anyway Kate's already agreed to one if the poll goes against a seperate forum. We just want one place to swap stories etc, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 It's not the idea of the sticky I'm against, Poet as that would be very easy to set up and maintain. The suggestion was for a thread or a whole section and it's the section I'm thinking about. I've already explained that I've had a few complaints about there already being too many sections so it's something that would need careful consideration. An extra section would give the moderators more work but the poll will determine the outcome. If the majority of posters want a BHWT section, they can have one.

Martin B Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 We could always combine the Chickens lots to make it one section with sub sections. Make it Guinea Pigs and Rabbits. Green Thinking and Self Sufficient Life. Just an idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Is there a post somewhere where I can catch up on "Buffie's excellent work"? I don't think there is...just little bits gleaned along the way. What a fantastic idea, though. What do people think about having a thread or even a whole section on the forum with information on the BHWT, and/or bits about happy pet rescued hens?

Martin B Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 If it wasn't you it would have been someone else. A few of us have asked for one, and I'm glad you have brought it to everybodys attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) i'd be happy with a sticky and would prefer to use just this forum and when I say this forum i mean the Omlet forum in general with all it's sub forums- i mainly use the nesting box and chickens so a sticky in either of those would be fine. in the meantime, if anyone has facebook you can swap ex batt stories here, it's a kind of ex-batt support group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6017214663 Edited November 11, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I think a sticky would be a bad idea. It would become too long like other threads and then be at risk to crashing the forum. It would also become jumbled with people trying to post to somebody about something 2 pages back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Me and my big mouth My fault really sorry, there were 5 replies when I last checked, and now 4 pages I'd missed/forgotten about the stickie, just thought a central information point would be more helpful, I'm not just trying to cause trouble.
