I'm convinced we can convert them - they're not stupid just seem to have bypassed the basic ways in which this place works (the fact that different conversations should stay on different threads)

I wouldn't worry though, everything I've said so far has gone in one ear and out the other...despite trying to speak directly to one particular person at a time.

I'm not giving up - I might start to spend some time in the foLDers arms to try to get them to lurk throughout the site (this is the problem I think - too much talking not enough lurking outside of the LD areas). I think the ACE system has failed these people...even just a nudge towards the netiquette page to hint the h2g2 has been around a lot longer than LD has and that it's general manners are different to LD.

smiley - sigh

Re. the ACE thing - quite a few of them appear to be ACEs. Lord knows why, it appears ACE badges are given away as easily as buttons. I certainly hope that people with more mature and open attitudes welcome newbies onto the site smiley - erm

I've started threads myself about this, but figured in the end that if the chatterz stay out of debate, than that's cool.

Personally, I'd rather h2g2 wasn't treated as a chat site at all, but it ain't my site! smiley - biggrin

There was rumour that LD itself would be up and running again - as said many moons ago, I imagine that the worst of the bunch will go back there.
