Ppd Maintenance

[chip104]

Spoon started the thread and even the format of Lets get to know. so i suggest we keep the format he initiated and all the rest of the posts there that does not keep to the format Spoon envisioned goes -deleted.

However you may start a new thread that complements it as you titled it " introductions..." and start the mood of that thread.

If everyone is ok of deleting the off-topic posts, I agree.

What is there to see in the profile posts except for the name, occupation, certification and favorite dive sites of the member, all of which can be seen on the profile page SB provides for everybody?

Personally, I have gotten to know more about the PPD personalities by reading the posts in between - Paolo's wisdom, Spoon's passion for the deep, Chip's enthusiasm, Caloy's wit, Jag's crazy ideas and the rest of the PPD pasaways - to me these things are more interesting than knowing that somebody is a PADI OW or uses an ATX200 or works in some office etc.

I still suggest we do not delete those posts. If we really have to have a thread exclusively for profiles, let's save the other posts in some way, just as Chip is trying to do. I feel that discarding hundreds of posts is like forgetting how we came together as a group.:05:

why not get 3-4 voulunteers and sift over them over the week, then delete the posts which the volunteers unanimously agree to delete. basically pm the post numbers and compare with the others. voila!

that is exactly the 2nd objective of this thread to figure out how to go about the maintenance.

remember my role starting monday is to be the MESSENGER,

i do not make the decisions , you guys tell me what to deliver to kim

SO We decide what is to be sent to SB MOd for PPD maintenance.

Yeah, I think this will not be too hard. The Dennis Roldan stuff comes to mind (although if I had my way I would save it somewhere else, its just so funny ). Most of the other posts are in one way or the other related to the profile postings - welcome greetings, advice, answers to questions from those who joined, etc.

BTW pre I'm in no way suggesting that the profiles you started are not interesting, in fact this is one of the best threads on PPD forum. I'm just saying that to me, the stuff in between the profile posts are as much a part of the thread as everything else.

Thanks Matt, I'm stupid with the sentimentals - when I first started coming to SB I sifted through hundreds of posts; reading and finding out about the members.

When new SB members come along, I know they'll do the same thing and see what a crazy and friendly bunch we are.

So I guess my original suggestion sticks: Pull out the actual profiles (I've numbered them already) and just put them in a new stickied "PPD profiles" thread. Other than that, the "Lets get to know the PPD" stays as is and is now the greetings forum, where it's possible to ask "may boyfriend ka ba?"


PS noticed how I utilized the semi-colon [;]? Impressed?
