Belatucadrus Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 One of the things that occurred to me is the severe shortage of Laydees contributing to the forum, with the honourable exception of Irene we're at an all time low. After a promising start even Morty seems to have given up on us. So what is causing it ? Is it perhaps the look, while I like it it's a rather Spartan Bauhaus theme all straight lines and blocks, would a softer style skin option offer a more female friendly environment ? Smoothed out corners, flowery backgrounds and many many pictures of cute fluffy kittens. (can't have enough kittens). I did briefly consider posting links to more hip current music acts to be dahn wiv da yoof init but after a brief moment contemplating Bieber at al decided that some prices were too high to pay and will leave that particular variety of self abuse to somebody else. I'm genuinely interested, is it that we're creaky old reprobates hanging on to an obsolete medium for grim death while the girlies being less fusty have embraced Faceache and Twaddle ?

AlanHo Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 You patronising the fairer sex with talk of them being dumb enough to be attracted by fluffy kittens and smoothed out corners is hardly likely to help. Having andsome on board as a babe magnet hasn't worked, so I'm short of ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're getting somewhere with this. Once we've finalised the new plan we'll get Irene to vet it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Perhaps, just perhaps, if our avatar's were larger to show the females how good looking we all are, might do the trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Personally, I think that newcomers are possibly put off by the slowness of the forum. We are obviously a patient lot. I wonder how much it would cost us to offer a small contribution each to encourage Craig to have the software updated. Perhaps we could be advised as to the viability of this.

catgate Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Personally, I think that newcomers are possibly put off by the slowness of the forum. The forum is not some sort of race meeting. It is a place for exchanging information, learning of the latest "improvements" in Personal Computer land", helping others with the inevitable quirks that abound with P.C,s etc. and having a chuckle and sharing it.

IMTNT Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I must have clicked the wrong bookmark. I thought this forum is a place for exchanging information about life after retirement and having a chuckle and sharing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 God knows what this forum's for but he's not been very forthcoming of late so until he steps up and reveals the answer, we're winging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask andsome, he's the expert on God, general consensus is that he's a beardy white dude lives on a cloud trying to ignore prayers from Americans who want him to cure their piles.
