I have to agree - there is a little too much banter for my taste.  But I wouldn't want the forum to become the domain of a few old farts like myself so there's a balance to be had. 

I'd like the banter to be kept more in the bounds of the "Banter" section and some of the chat would be much better held using MSM or ICQ.  Those who like to chat, why don't you give MSM or ICQ a try?  You could sign up using the same user name and these systems will tell you when one of the others has logged on.  Alternatively you could set up your own chat room or forum using Yahoo Groups.

Why don't we try and keep the technical sections like "Dinghy Development" fairly techinical, and the sections for photos mostly photos and comments about photos.  Nobody is perfect so I'm sure we will make the occasional mistake.  Please whatever don't take offence, but we are all friends here let's make it better if we can.  What we don't want is for it to degenerate into something like text messaging because then people will leave and we will have lost an opportunity.

Um im not sure what group i come into???

But i do agree with Sarah aswell because when i started that Spice topic there was two pages but when i didnt check the forum for 1 day there was suddenly 11 pages of nothing at all to do with the topic which had all been written in ONE day by the people who posr 31 a day !

i know what you mean,  i do agree that banter should be kept in the banter section however i think that if they want to have a bit of gossip in that section there is no problem also alot of the banter threads are related to sailing-

despite how loosley they are , still counts in my eyes
