Doods, perhaps some black licorice will help?

Sorry guys, I have been sick and drugged up. I am just useless and goofy when I get like this.

You are definitely not required to read every post that is posted. I agree some over post the same topics and alot of nothing topics. If you are not interested in a particular thread do not read it. Not everyone does it on purpose and making another thread to complain about it as you say just makes another thread like the ones you are complaining about. So you are guilty of the same. Noone is perfect.

you don't get what i'm saying. it takes me sooo long just to figure out what threads I want to read...that's the point!

DUH I know that I don't have to read every post that is posted but thanks for pointing that out since apparently I'm mentally challenged.

This is becoming an I hate too many threads thread.

I think we need a new thread in order to give the opposing view.

I agree with Bridget though, today it's been especially hard for me because there are soooo many, i have to go a page back just to make sure i haven't missed something important.

The other point is having so many threads knocks the main threads of interest off the page. We have pinned threads for a reason. Posting in them will only make it easier for everyone to find that information later. All of these threads makes searching for other threads a complete nightmare.

Clearly there are others that feel the same way and its only going to benefit the board and everyone to try to condense things so they can be found more easily.

It does say post anything here in the MENA forum. I don't think it's going to stop because a couple people want to control how it flows.

a couple?!?!

I see your point.....

We do create a lot of threads that have no relevance to actual immigration related issues or problems.

I think non-essential debates (arab loving, arab hating, news stories, 9/11 posts) are a waste of energy.

But I do like to read more positive threads and congratulatory threads.

Bridget, I couldnt agree with you more. This is the reason I haven't been posting in here. The board has become very difficult to navigate because all the threads, most of which are nonsense or could have easily been added to an existing thread.

I'm not talking about congrats threads but seriously not every announcement or recipe needs its own thread.

i've been wondering where ya been lately! i haven't posted much lately either. hopefully people will maybe listen and we'll all come back more?

what's "it" and where does "it" say this?

Well the regional forums description says: Topics of discussion may include travel, moving, what to eat and any other experience you may wish to share or inquire about. Have fun!

There have been many debates about what type of content is appropriate for the regional forums. Some think that it should be limited to chit chat type stuff like the above and visa-related issues should be in a different forum - NVC, Embassy, AOS, etc. I don't think everyone is ever going to agree.

If you have real concerns about it, I'd suggest either posting in the Site Discussion forum where Ewok will see it, or PM him directly.

Interesting - So what would you like to see. I am honest, you would like one thing for happy announcements, and what and what not should be discussed. I am interested to see what everyone has to say. I mean clear cut, what should and should not be discussed.
