Why do threads keep getting closed....
 

.....I've noticed that a lot of perfectly fine threads have been closed recently, particularly in meet and greet.
Is there any reason for this or is there now a maximum word count per thread ???

We seem to get so many who come and say 'HI', get lets of hellos, and are never seen or heard from again...

A bit bloody stupid

it's to stop them being a chat fest though...

Re: Why do threads keep getting closed....
 

well maybe if they weren't closed we could encourage the newbies to stick around by having a chat fest with them? :)

Thats understandable, just dont get it why so many dont pop up else where in the forums :confused: bit fed up of welcoming newbies to be honest when they dont stay around.

Re: Why do threads keep getting closed....
 

Same here - I find it hard to muster up any enthusiasm for welcoming anyone these days.

What is it with these people - are we really THAT scary? :confused: Or boring? :eek:

I would like a poll to be stickied in the meet and greet forum to find out what it is :huh:

Maybe if we encourage chat between the poster and others they won't feel intimidated to post anywhere else :confused: :unsure:

They might not realize how fast pace this site is compared to other Expat sites :zzz: There was not the meet & greet when I joined and I certainly did not get all the nice welcomes, but I stayed around :) and I'm glad I did, just to think of the laugh's this place has brought me, better than anything on the TV, not to mention the friends I have found that came with it, now I just have to check in every day just to see whats going on :o :D

"check in every day" :confused: :blink: ... more like hanging around for hours :p :D
