description thoughts for new subforum

[paolov]

Maybe I'll change the title anyway to get people to read it! (It was already stickied!)

i think having the titles have colors would help in getting attention.

We don't have that anywhere on the board. If we did then everyone would start using them to get attention and we'd all go color blind from the result!

I've changed the title now. I think we just have to expect people to read stickies to see what they are. That's why they are stickied - because they are important.

I know...that's exactly the kind of thing that happens. However we can all only go so far to make things clear - the DAN SEAP thread has been stickied since the beginning. If people simply don't read what's there then I think it's their own fault. It's like that old saying:
"You can please some of the people all the time,
You can please all the people some of the time,
You can't please all the people all the time."

Maybe we should get rid of stickies completely then - and just let everyone root around themselves or tell them to "Do a Search!!!" :06:

Wow....and to think some of us had asked for an EXPAT sub-forum....this is too hard. PPD worked just fine like it was. Kinda thinking we had another option to NOT have another sub-forum. You guys work it out....I am sitting this one out.

Well you know where I personally stood on that. Unfortunately a majority of expats seemed to disagree.

Some people found that PPD forum a bit unaccessable when the conversation switched to Tagalog. It would be the same story if it was a Spanish, Dutch, Japanese...whatever forum. This is simply an attempt to rectify that and still give people what they want. I think most of the people have realized the why and if some of them might have some reservations, they are at least prepared to give it a chance. The last thing anyone wants here is to appear to be unfriendly or exclusive.
