Re: Consistency
My excuse, I weren't around all weekend, so don't have a clue about those recent threads...also, I don't read every single post in every thread, so if when a thread starts out being something and morphs into something else, well I'll be buggered if I'll keep moving it around.
At the mo, it's a judgement call as to what is "lifestyle" and what's just general US chit chat, and to me, lifestyle would be dealing with banks, places to go, places to live, dmv, shopping, working etc and everything else as natter...it gets tricky when you deal with something that could go either way like watching brit shows in the US.

EDIT: The fact is, whether the board owners want it or not, this is a community board, not a factual-information-about-the-USA board (factual replies from us lot? You're 'avin a laff!) and trying to use poor old Bob to police what is and isn't within some vague "suitability and relevance to the US" guideline is a waste of his time and ours.

We fear change!! I agree though, I have used the site less since the change - and there is a serious lack of consistency - there my 2 cents!

So dont move them to the lounge? They start here - we add to them here - ergo we WANT them here?

Re: Consistency
Hands up ..... I think that may have been my fault because I didnt make it clear to the mods.
Only non-usa related stuff should be in the The Trailer Park. Basically it was created so those of you who live in the US could still have a sense of community but wouldn't be cluttering up the main USA forum with non usa discussions/chitchat/off topic banter etc, etc.
Yeah I know clear as mud aren't I
