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 ??? |

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

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

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
Yes me too I just check in for 10 secs each day :o |
