Title: I miss pm's
Post by: rosskesava on July 13, 2005, 09:30:39 pm
Personnal messages have gone.

I miss being able to send a quick comment, or a thanks, or a whatever.

I'm not having a go at those up there who had to make that decision but rather I miss pm'ing someone.

Cheers

Ross

Hi Graham

Always the gentleman.

Subtle with that hint of interlect in your choice of words.

Even Grafters cried genuine tears but not you..............

Cheers

Same here, Steveyboy, I don't really understand either.

Mike Boxhall (the head honcho of this site) knew it would be an unpopular decision though.

From what I can gather, Mike wants this site to be a quality resource for the cleaning industry.  Not a chat site.  Somewhere where you visit to ask and answer a question related to our industry.

Now that's not a bad idea.

PMs have been abused in the past by other sites, therefore (I guess) the thinking is that they are superflous to requirement.  Although I think there is more to it than just that, although what; I don't know but I remember something about litigation action being taken.!!

Also, some members here like the site strictly formal; no chat or humour.  I've had a couple of complaints directed at myself for posting derogatory 'waffle'; mainly towards our Scottish 'friends'.

Other members like the site 'chatty and humerous'.

Personally, I like a bit of both.

Members have ceased to be members for both reasons.

I think even if someone started a poll (Hint hint) and we stated our reasons, in a logical way for PMs to be brought back, Mike Boxhall may reconsider.

I doubt it though.  Don't hold your breath on this one!

And if anyone threatened to cancell their membership here because PMs wouldn't be brought back; I know what Mike's response would be. 

So if a poll was started, then positive reasons only should be given as to why PMs were brought back.
