Deranged = Rained off, empty house, alcohol ! See a pattern emerging here ?

Anyhoo,

1st of all let me say I am in no way picking faults, finding faults or being negative here, just a few thoughts, that may be of interest or not.
Obviously would require some adjustment to the listings, which I cant comment on, as my PC skills are about as much good as a blonde woman in Israel called Jordan !!

On the Main Board, under "General Discussion" it states;
The place for general discussion about Hot Rods, Custom, and American cars in Scotland.

I am guilty of posting up links, jokes or other stuff, not related to the above category. Would it be possible to introduce a category called "Off Topic" or something similiar ? Dont wish in any way to turn it into a chat site, but it may, or could be putting folks off who would like to join, but dont have a vehicle etc.

As an active member of a few forums, which I will not name here as you lot will flame me ! I have had help for various problems, ie, pc virus, pregnant cats, daughter working abroad, plumbing all sorts of things !
Although we all share the same interests, ie, Yanks, Rods etc, we all have different jobs and backgrounds ?
If you had a wee query, you could pop up a question and ask !
I am car daft, but find other things interesting, other folks are the same perhaps ? Music, Movies,

As an example, and any complaints here, Mods feel free to delete this.

Had a free day just afore the new year as did my daughter. My daughter who is 21, leaves in 6 weeks to work in China, teaching English. So we had some daddy/daughter time to kill.
We ended up at Kelvingrove Museum and the Museum of Transport in Glasgow. Had a great day, and seen some stuff myself that made me think.
Now, who has read this far and went, "Museums ! pah" ??
A member of this forum is a volunteer at one of the above !!

Jeez, I waffle on a bit, eh ?

In short,
Is there any chance of an off topic, or a waste of time category ??

As someone said yesterday, Discuss ?

Very easy, 30 seconds work on the admin panel, not a problem at all.

Go ahead Alan, i don't think anyone here would flame you for that. :)

Mods, eh? :confused:, no mods here, this is a forum of modless anarchy ;)


Joking aside, good suggestion Alan, i'll start an 'Off Topic forum for general chit-chat. Any ideas for a name for it?

Let this run for a week or so and see if anybody throws up suggestions !

I will plump for "The Lounge" but sure there will be better suggestions ?
