Forum activity (or the lack of)

This is found under Forum Rules & Notices

as is the The UK Babe Channels Forum - Registration Agreement (posted by Sooky) which includes info about the removal/editing etc of Posts.

Indeed, how many are aware or even venture into that section (the post by Mr Gummidge, btw, was also for as while posted in each of the channel sections as well - but in the 'sticky threads' part, which tbh most people skip past to get to the babe content - and is now in a cobined thread marked 'IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS - please read' found in the Babestation section (I haven't found it elsewhere, but it may well be))

However, these are still merely guidelines or advice and not clearly defined rules. Don't be fooled by the appearance of the word 'rules' in the section name that you credit with the Mr G post

The Mr G post is principally an introduction to the forum, some handy tips, and a spattering of advice - 'rules' it is not

But informative posts nonetheless, which a number of people could perhaps do with reading/reminding themselves of

On the topic of over censorship on the forum, the mods have to censor some discussions because even though some of us on here may not be easily offended, others including some of the girls of the shows can be and also lets not forget that Ofcom has used some of the comments made on this forum to instigate an investigation into certain events that have happened in the past.
So in my opinion, the mods are only doing their job and are doing a good one at that.

ok we have had 11 pages of moaning about the forum activity or lack of, so how about we started to come up with some things that well improve this place and get more people posting,

i'll start, how about giving new members with less than 100 posts a section of their own were they can get use to posting with out the worry of getting slapped down by more experienced posters,

Good idea Winsaw. A place for the newbies might let them get settled in gradually, and get used to forum life. It must be like being thrown in a shark tank sometimes for these guys, not knowing when to speak and which threads to join in on.

Maybe we'll see an increase in activity for a while when the new channel begins?

Also, if this place was less hostile sometimes perhaps some of the babeshow girls would feel more inclined to come on here and chat with us. Granted though, thats a big ask.

Seconded. I still don't really understand Hex!t's point. Just stay away from twitter and facebook and the problem is solved. They're fucking useless tools anyway!

I'm new myself & have been bitterly disappointed by the lack of piss-taking to-date (bring it on) & have only 1 experience of a forum "ego" flexing their muscles.Just at the point when it was getting interesting they agreed that I could have an opinion.Big of em ! Some Newbies may feel the need for a safe haven to get em going,so yeh good idea winsaw.But for me,well-you don't scare me !

Yeah! ... and your name is too long ffs

I think the forum is doing well considering the hit the channels have taken. I think we just need to ride out the hard times.
