besides, guyz..look at the technical point of view....a section hidden from everyone but the mods is easy to make because it's in the forum software...but to make one hidden to anyone but the vet members would be a new variable, deppending on who's a vet member (title wich would have to be remodelled) and a code written for accepting such an option....doubt raz will wanna do it. 😉
OTF has its downsides and a few good ones, tho I dislike it more than I like it
and no offence phoe but being on every day doesn't mean that you are a "good" member
EXAMPLE: someone who is on everyday but only posts crap and insults ppl isn't a "good" member and will never be called a "vet".
BY NO MEANS DO I MEAN YOU (PHOE) BY THAT
so, as vetrinaries, we DO get payed right?
sorry, could help it 😉
well, all I see in this thread is malcontent... "veteran" posters saying that some are still newbies, and some "veteran" posters saying OTF isn't their cup of tea.
on the other hand some "newbies" (and I do use the " " here, since I don't want to hit against any heads) on the other hand, say that they like it there and that they do their best to fit in...
well, perhaps it's better to
1) keep it, since some (let's just say the percentage is unknown) like it
2) close it, since some (also unknown percentage) don't like it
3) let Raz deceide when he returns from holiday and blame everything on him 😄
I said "difficult", not "impossible".
I know it can be done...My point is that OTF should be regulated (to allow off-topic is one thing, but it doesn't mean to let-everyone-do-what-(s)he-wants). For example I think the interest of some threads is really questionable... (Who likes.... ? , Isn't ... great ?, How long is your hair/foot/ear/nose... );( Only one or two 'jokes & funny stuffs' thread(s) is (are) necessary)....
