Can I please register an enthusiastic vote for the return of the "Five Busiest conversations".
I was so dissapointed when that feature went. I thought it was a great way of being on the pulse of h2g2. I met people and ofund places tghrough it and I for one would love to see it back.
Bring Back the Busiest!!!!!

>>> But one suggestion might be to bring back the 'Five Busiest Conversations' and I also think there was another one about the most recent Guide Entries (not edited ones, just ones people have written). <<<
Yes, I miss this too. I thought it made the site look 'live', showed it's always active.

The 5 busiest was a snapshot taken once every hour or so, never very accurate anyway. "

It was through the 'Five Busiest Conversations' that I met Seraphina, 2legs, ReddyFreddy, EV, Fords and Footbacon!
I was only a little newbie then..
Please may we have it back?

I concur ... From the 5 or 10 busiest of the moment ... Seen from the front page where everyone can see it. It would allow so many newbies to see the glow, the shine, the warts, the everything about the place. Without needing to be y and know of the other shortcuts.

Seems to be an enthusiastic consensus. Lets hope it is something Derek can do....

Amy Pawloski, aka 'paper lady'--'Mufflewhump'?!? click here to find out... (ACE) Posted May 13, 2007
Aye!
Though I'd have to trim my Friend's List a bit--I think most have elvised, anyway. But I don't want to, 'cause I have gotten occasional journal entries from folks I'd given up checking on. Granted, the people involved do generally disappear again soon... I suppose I could hide the list of people watching me and stick U numbers of elvised folks in an entry if I get the 'You're on the FP' notification...
Here, let me trade that waffle for a mufflewhump

Re: <./>FrontPage</.>
The week of fame (but no fortune) is over... And I'd like to say...
"Thank you for your business."
Where this comes from... I've worked in retail, and there was a proprietor of note, he'd say this to people even regulars. True, a little creepy... And what he said was too.
There are other ways to get repeat business, this thread is an example, you ask the customer what you can do for them; job done on that front then.
But I've just been looking at the bottom of the <./>FrontPage</.> and what do I see, a rather dry corporate message.

Can you not tuck this lot to one side (but still keep in with BBC policy), and end the page with something like...
Thank you for visiting *viewer* please come back soon!
What I don't see is a 'thank you' for looking, or anything to say come back soon on the page... You're selling the site, but not asking for repeat business, for a return to the <./>Frontpage</.>?

My week of front page celebrity status is now over. I don't think anyone (except Lil) noticed.

I noticed too but didn't have anything worth saying. Not that that usually stops me.

I noticed, TC, but like Sho said, you're on my friends list and vice versa.
And I did drop into fluffylumps Frontpage convo.

You can call me TC Posted May 16, 2007
Oh gosh - for underestimating you all.
But then again - not even Roymondo could think of anything to say. I'm soooooo boooring.
Roymondo
Sho
.. and all the rest of you anyway for bothering to look.

>> And I did drop into fluffylumps <./>Frontpage</.> convo <<
Oooh blame lil for that convo, you still feature in it she's had me looking for you and Matt for days!
As for visitors that would post, non were what I'd call strangers anyway.
I did exit from one (easy to find again) thread, as I didn't think it appropriate as a 'first taste' of the site for noobs.
- A little warning (a day or two?) that you are about to feature, time to comb your teeth brush your feet, soak your head; would have been nice?

benjaminpmoore Posted May 16, 2007
Maybe that is really a warning to yourself that you ought to soak your head more often anyway. You never know who might drop by and catch you with a dry head, think how embarassing that would be.
