Has Body and Soul become the new Chatterbank?.

[Lonnie]

This is basically what I put into chiswickk's deleted post, since Chatterbank closed down, I think Body and Soul has taken its place, and if so, would that be a good or bad thing, What do you think. Thanks.

Difficult answer Lonnie - I have noticed though that if you post a question in the day you will get quite a few answers,but if you post one in the eve you've hot no chance,unless its a flirty sort of question,and thats not a criticism,just an observation.

Seriously though,there are AB'ers who are asking genuine questions in the eve which arent really getting the answers they deserve,so I think that yes,there should be a separate Chatterbank.

I have nothing at all against people chatting on sites (I do it myself on other sites), but it is annoying when the site is overloaded with chat, because this isn't what this site is about.

There are hundreds of chat sites out there, but this is the only site of its kind that I know of, which is why I dont like to see it being turned into yet another chat site.

As far as I know, if at least 3 people report a question as chat, it will be removed

I actually have nothing against it happening, its just that over the last couple of months, I noticed it changing and thought i'd comment on it.

Hi Lonnie

You are a little late on this discussion I'm afraid. Yes, there are some good natured that could be taken for "chatty" threads in B&S, but this does not prohibit people from posting 'genuine' questions. Until someone emails me and says, "I wanted to post a question on my constipation problem but because someone posted a late night thread entitled "I'm drunk", I didn't" well, what's the problem?
