What does "family friendly" mean in the context of VJ?

As I mentioned earlier, the idea to splinter off the forum was with the best of intentions, but we've had enough to time to see how it worked out, and IMO, it has had more negative consequences than any positives gained.

If someone wanted to talk about how good British chocolate is, why couldn't that conversation happen among a larger group than just couples where one spouse is from that country?

Don't be so literal....you should know I was only using that as an example.

Take any of Kathryn's examples and tell me how great they would be in OT.

we should have a chocolate lover's forum.

We need more pluses. Can you raise the allotment, please?

We really need a games forum. There is a lot of demand. In fact a few days ago VJ stats page showed game threads alone accounting for about half of all the site posts. Granted, that was an outlier, but even the daily average is probably in the 5-20% range.

It is not sufficient to decry the bandwidth usage engendered by games and simultaneously clamour for a games forum. You indicate that half (50%) of all site posts on one particular day justifies the creation of a games forum, further, you speculate that the daily average is in the 5-20% range. That is quite a large range, how does this compare to other forums, how often does this happen and what are the statistical measures for this? What is the mean, the the median and the mode and over what time period are you referring. I don't think that we need a games forum when there is too much puerile gamesmanship already.

I didn't understand the posts thing but now I see what he was talking about.

If you can't be number one, you must be number two.

Number 2?

Really?

What does that have to do with anything? The statistics that he quoted can be verified if you check the daily statistics of the site yourself, don't be lazy.

You're right, Rob. I was lazy. I should have reported you for all those TOS violations a long time ago. I let it ride, thank you for reminding me. Looks like this sock puppet's got a hole in it. Oh Darn!

I understand the games thing now. I just looked at the stats again and the game players have like 25% of the total posts for the day.

silly me! I forgot the screen shot!
