ok, here's one more thought ...

i'd like to go through the last 30 days or so of posts and move the threads that were waaaaay off topic out of the garage and into the sandbox ...


any objections ???

at this point, do you really think anyone is going to argue with you. rolleyes.gif

one request: could you add a direct link from the GARAGE to the SANDBOX? (and vice versa) thanks

Jenny makes a good point, and you might as well grab the obvious ones, but the real answer is "do what you want to do".

I'll question him if I want too. And I dare say I think he'll respect that.

You can suck it up all you want. Your choice.

Not bitchin', but Gint made a point about how fast the O.T. threads, or any thread for that matter gets pushed off the 1st page. It just seems like a lot of "extra" work to move them (gotta be 10,000 of them in the past 30 days wacko.gif ), when you've already implemented the "View O.T. threads" option button. Just trying to save you some time that could be used better on your own life.

You Da Man Andy! pray.gif I'd have told everyone to finger.gif long ago....but I've got a pretty itchy trigger finger (the middle one wink.gif ).

People like me who happened to write a reply don't really want or need their POV, message or name displayed in a trash bucket that permitted porn. Besides. you said trash like that was not allowed anymore so why go to the trouble to duplicate what everyone got ticked off about in the 1st place. Any replies most have ever made to any thread on 914world.com was written to the garage forum and that is where most want it to stay. Otherwise just delete and forbid us/me from entering the site at all. 914 is why I surf into here 90% of the time and the other times is when I need some computer help when mine goes flaky.
Delete that trash and 914club will only grow better. Others opinions will not ever be the same as all others but I sure value my own to be decent like the 914 fellowship I have known since 1970.
If I am mistaken about any of the now permitted OT future content per the new rules , I apologize.

Look folks, I understand what Andy was trying to do now (since I asked rolleyes.gif ). When performing a search the default is to search just the garage and not the entire board. By moving OT topics from the last 30 days to the sandbox forum, the unsofisticated user (visitor or newbie if you will) will not have some of those VERY off topic threads show up on the first page(s) of their search.

I'm good with it.
