Saying we have a good membership amount , then linking to the site and talking about bringing some over for discussions there would constitute a site plug.
WRONG. It means that I am interested in posting on your site because a) your stated objective in the title caption and b) you have a healthy readership. I posted a link to my site so that you could understand my strategy. It would be pretty silly if I didn't post a link to my site and talked about it at the same time.

it's pretty simple, boris. if you don't like it, you're free to leave. we have our rules, and there are a whole lot of people who have no problem with them. it's a forumla that has worked for years, and we're not going to change things up because you don't like it.
Ah, the classic tough guy dodge: Do it my way or the highway. Simpleminded, to the point, and void of any true content.

I sorta like my lil' forum and all of it's odd little rules.
I am not suggesting opening all the threads for non-member viewing, just my "love of wisdom" threads.

it would behoove you to read the charter before you start posting.
"Behoove" is such a silly word. I always imagine horses having hooves glued to their hoofless legs.

I simply do not have the time to read every charter for every board I click on. I am slowly canvassing the internet for good forums to post on. The fundamental criteria includes a healthy readership, an open thread policy, or a willingness to open my specific threads to the general readership.

it's not extremely difficult to register here, even you managed to do it; apparently for the sole purpose of asking this asinine question.
Again, "asinine" = silly word. I always imagine nine asses.

Are you too lazy to copy and paste your arguments?
No thanks. Part of my idea is the linking of different perspectives. This would be accomplished by having a few good sites of different essence.

Quote:
I'm sure you realize that in order to make a solid argument you should do a little research first..
This my research. Intimate interconnectivity is much better than reading a stuffy charter.

So if you're done wagging your finger at us for being a secret clubhouse with the steep requirements of a two-minute registration process to join, be on your way. you'll be missed!

besides, by the way you type, i'm guessing you don't have the dexterity to learn our secret handshake.
I am so embarrassed! Now I will have to stick my tail between my legs and submissively apologize.... Fat chance!

No, it was a rhetorical question I asked to shake the community gourd.

Mods, I recall stumbling across tfp accidentally after google turned up an interesting thread. The breadth baffled me initially (WHAT IS THIS PLACE ABOUT?!) but it didn't take long to realize there's a very cool collection of people & thinking taking place here.
Well then, there should be no problems in allowing my "love of wisdom" threads to be non-member viewable.

Anyone who has taken the time to review this site would see just from the forum categories and posts that diversity of content is not an issue here.
Could it be? Am I using the word "stale" to point out that you could have more diversity?

I see your interconnection idea as a way to try and take members from a healthy & functioning society to boost activity at your own site.
If you think a majority of my Love of Wisdom threads will appear on one forum you are sadly mistaken. That would defeat my purpose!
