I think that is a good idea, BoP. Instead of "Talk about anything you want on this forum" write "Talk about ..... " and write what it is that you expect people to discuss there. What was the original intent of that forum? If coffee and tea are not appropriate (although I'll bet Tolkein wouldn't have minded discussing tea once in a while), close them, but give some guidance as to what should be discussed. That would be a good compromise.
If this doesn't solve the problem, then go ahead and close it for a while and see if the board moves back into the direction you wish it to go. If not, it might be that it's something more than the existence of GM. If it does, keep it off the board or re-introduce it gradually at a later date and see if it can be used as it was meant to be used. But I do think that needs to be more clearly defined. |

Okay, I'm just going to throw this out there, and damn the consequences.
If you're not even taking our opinions into consideration, regarding closing the GM forum, then why are you "kicking the anthill"? This thread in itself is spam, if you're not going to even listen to us, or have no intention of taking what we say seriously. *Steps off soapbox.* Also, if you stop providing a service that some are seeking, then of course you can expect people to abscond somewhere else. It's not a question of loyalty, it's a question of who's got the best on offer. It's a human thing.

I will desist
NOT Because of HOBBITS threat, who obviously misunderstood again the reason for my spam( so smart but so far way) But someone who HAS earned my respect and has EARNED loyality has asked me not to Maybe if the anti-GMers would cease with their draconian power fetish and POST SOME MEANINGFUL TOLKIEN POST THEMSELVES maybe if they would administer and not make threats maybe if they would lead not demand maybe if they put some input in and guide then maybe they would get what they for

You are the boorish prig who slams people with your inconserderate remarks If you call having enough sense to manage properly sucking up then you are the ARSE for being too much of a supercillious ninny to know how to treat people I do not take umbrage at your cavalier attitude. however you have pissed off and hurt other's feelings here that you may not be aware of maybe you don't care but that just makes people dislike you more NO hobbit I can be an arse by choice but it seems you are one by nature and SOME did find it amusing it produced the affect i wanted so are you gonna show how tough you are an ban me now it will only prove my point

After reading all of the messages here, I have changed my mind. I love general messages and I only post here. All of your input really helped me to make my decision in favor of keeping general messages. Afro-elf is obvioulsy right, and I am sorry if I ofended you in anyway. I am sorry for being saruman .
