The last thing I want to do is spoil anybodies fun, but I am finding that I log on to chat and see thread after thread of FarmTown. It's getting as bad as general with A-Z's, so I am begining to switch off and stay away much more.
I understand that FB doesn't have a community board and so many of you have farms. I also will say that I find a lot of the comments between you all funny ........

but can we please limit the number of threads on a page

sorry moan over please ignore me.

lol Diane much better thanks,
I know there are other threads and to be honest I realise how much easier it is to start an new thread when it's something you want to get attention on and not lost in pages and pages of posts.

Mel I appreciate your dilemma and please leave your posts as they are. I have not said that there should be only 1 just I wish the boards weren't inundated by so many at 1 time

bernie don't ask

sorry Marion I thought I was a worst shot than that !!

Lynda I didn't realise that about FB but I am not objecting to it being discussed or laughed about on here just the amount of threads that were up at 1 time

I was being a miserable b*gger

No you weren't Uzzi you are entitled to your opinion, and if GR would only give us a board for quizzes, games etc it wouldn't happen. However i suspect there would then be fewer people than ever on chat and general. too many threads on any subject can be a bit much.

I'm fed up with seeing this board as an extension of FB. Which probably makes me a grumpy old moo, but I don't care...;-))

Ann you may be right that if we had a quiz board there would be less on chat, but I don't think so.

Shelia your not a grumpy old moo. I don't really mind FB being brought on here after all it's a way of life the same as meets are discussed so is FB.
We don't all go to the meets but it's lovely to read about them farm town is in away a cyber type of meet. Like meets tho' I wish they would limit the threads

pmsl theres even more of the threads now

think these games are a bit like marmite you either love them or hate them

and yes we could keep it to FB but then other GR members who are not friends on FB wouldnt be able to link up which I think the initial thread has done

so although I do see your point about too many threads on one subject being added I see no harm in talking about the farm games on here if people are not interested in the games ignore the threads easy really :o)

Jax I agree with what you are saying about the link up for GR to FB. I have said that somewhere. I don't think it's wrong to chat about it at all ...it may even encourage shy people to join in and save them being alone.
Yes there are now MORE threads about Farmtown but the extra ones added do allow for non farmers to join in on a discussion. As you say if not interested don't read. If there is nothing there then the answer is !!!!
put up your own discussion thread
