Oh, thanks, I didn't realize that, although I think the issue may still have some relevance to other readers...but sorry to jump in the middle of the conversation, I didn't look at the date, just read the thread, my bad
Nobody addressed the slapping issue because the original post was made way back in 2005 by a member who is no longer even involved in this conversation.
Well, I have to say that makes me feel a little better that I"m not the only one not reading the dates. Thank you very much AVC...I feel way less...clumsy now! I thought I was doing well reading the whole thread and then a huge oversight like this occurs...
It's not a problem, some forum administrators make a big deal out of it, but I think that is stupid, if a subject interests a reader and they want to comment on "an open thread" that is "not closed to new posts" by management, then management should not get mad at the member for posting to the thread unless it is a "worthless bump thread to the top of the forum post".
The reason some get mad is because it upsets the current order of the forum, but it is never a problem unless some new guy comes along and bumps every thread in the forums for attention, now that really upsets and destroys the entire order of a forum and that kind of person should be banned, I have seen this happen and it is very bad.
Some forums have a add on hack installed that actually closes threads after they are dormant for a specified period, either that or managers can close them if it is that important, Dr. Baxter knows how to run a forum though and if he did not want new posts made to threads I'm sure they would already be closed.
I know this is over a 2 year old post, BUT just in case you check back from time to time, I wanted to write something because you reminded me of someone I used to know..........
I broke up with my boyfriend over 3 years ago because I cheated on him. I am living proof of the laws of karma. It's been one of the biggest lessons of my life, and his. We are actually very good friends now. He's been listening to me cry about this guy that I kinda fell in love with, but didn't love me. Now I know how my ex-boyfriend felt. I've been paying for that mistake for so long. I'm sure of only a few things in my life. One of them is that I will NEVER EVER cheat on anyone ever again. So, anyway, sometimes it takes years to overcome things that have hurt us and other people. Oh, and people can change........they just need to pay attention, be patient, and communicate. Hope you're doing OK.
