I've never seen the Celestial forum 'peak or trough'. It was always stayed at pretty much the same basic level of disinterest as far as I can tell.

I'm sorry about that Pirate, but I don't think I'm being unreasonable in my conversation...

Well SAY that then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...is this aimed at me?!
I'm saying moderate the Celestial forum fully. In my mind, being limited to splitting and moving isn't 'full' moderation.

But I think I'm gonna give up on this... I've had my say. I can't see what I'm saying that's so 'out there', but I appear to be driving people batty!

..so I'm gonna stop now... :/

All I have to say is that if you make GIMR a mod I'll leave the board.

But seriously, the only things I can think of are more moderation (and if you need a volunteer, I'll mod if you like, Shades...it'll give me something to do, as I don't really contribute to posts much anymore, but I do like to read from time to time), and I agree with Liz on the smilies, it does add a more personal touch. Also the "report post" button is a good idea.

LOL. GIMR.

Ok Ren. I give up also. We went off topic. I just figured that as someone had said they liked it better when they first came here that there must have been some kind of fluctuation in the interest levels. Which happens all the time.

I mean I read alot, but I don't read every post word for word for language violations and so forth.

This is a fabulous idea! I missed this earlier.

As a fellow Mod, I second this!

No, but I also don't want to start eating something only to find that it's been spoiled.

As I said in Don's thread, I am dismayed when an otherwise interesting discussion here in the Terrestrial forum gets totally derailed and destroyed by petty personal attacks and baiting. When that happens, the thread rarely, if ever, recovers. And it's a damn shame.

I think you would be a great mod!

You're right -- there are fluctuations. Approximately 6 months ago I was in celestial all the time (reading). There were some great threads!
