dorsetmummy Report post Posted October 10, 2005 Are we only allowed to talk shop in here. Or are we allowed to talk about other things as well?? Julie X Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elanor Report post Posted October 10, 2005 Hi People talk about lots of things - you'll find lots of non-ASD stuff on the forum. Perhaps we could persuade Kris to set up another forum category for 'Other topics - non-ASD, so as to help keep things easy to find? Elanor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lil_me Report post Posted October 10, 2005 I sent a PM suggesting a non ASD part to the forum a while back, haven't had a reply Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
asereht Report post Posted October 10, 2005 My son often looks in on this forum ,but then asks " Do these people ever talk about anything other than ASD!" I think a non ASD part could be good. No offence meant by my son I'm sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baddad Report post Posted October 10, 2005 Right, all stamp your feet very loudly and shout "KRISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"!!! As far as 'other topics' goes, just whack whatever you fancy (clean of course!) in general discussion. We regularly have threads running on 'stuff' like music, books, likes and dislikes - whatever takes yer fancy - and of course the batcave goes off into territories that defy ANY sort of description! Now, the reason I told you to stamp and shout is 'cos Kris was a while ago going to look into the option of a 'chat room' which has all gone a bit quiet. I suspect the reason might be that the forum suffered a few 'downs' at around the time the idea was raised, and maybe we're pushing the sites resources as is, but that's only guessing...

baddad Report post Posted October 10, 2005 Ah, thinking about it now, if I'd been a sensible moderator I'd have asked Kris myself before posting the above - just in case! Sorry Kris! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oracle Report post Posted October 10, 2005 On other ASD Groups the rule is to pre-fix your subject header with the letters OT (Off Topic) then everyone knows that it is not an ASD topic and can read if they wish. Hope this helps? Carole Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted October 10, 2005 I think maybe a separate board for other topics would be a great idea. I think as we all get to know each other it's natural to want to talk about other things. Those who just want to come on the forum for a general chat or a laugh would know exactly where to go if there was a separate place, and "off topics" wouldn't clutter up the boards for those who come here looking for specific information. I don't want to talk about ASD 24 hours a day, but even when I'm talking about something else, it's nice to know I'm in the company of those who understand my situation.
