Dog Community

Anyone else notice this...

Posted : 8/24/2006 12:36:31 AM

TONS of new threads, about all kinds of things including non-dog-related, in the General Q&A and Anything and Everything? I feel like I have to filter through so much there that should be posted elsewhere.
I realize it gets the most traffic, but, this site is organized for a reason... People like me who go "aaahhhh!!!" (where's the emoticon for pulling out your hair?) when they see 40 new threads about totally random stuff.

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but sometimes I want to say, hey, can you post this under the appropriate category? What does your grandma's lawnmower (making something up) have to do with questions about dogs?
Is it just me? I'll be embarrassed if I'm the only hyper-critical person here, but it's buggin' me.

Thats what the NDR place if for. But it does say "Anything and Everything" so I guess some just assume that means ANYTHING. I've probly even posted there once or so about something non-dog related but thats before I realized NDR ment Not Dog Related.

True, I can understand folks getting used to the site. I'm probably just grumpy because I feel like I've missed some info that gets buried by a hundred new random posts.
I am certainly not even thinking of anyone/thing in particular. Just a trend of late.

Latly there have been soooooo many new people. Most of them post a question and never come back. There have been so many topics that you do have to pick through them. But what can ya do.

I have noticed that some too, i must admit i most likely have did something or other in the wrong section! not only NDR, but a lot of people post all their new threads in the anything& everything and the gq&a, because it seems to get more hits there! I have seen a lot of health question in there, people should at least look for the right section! (at least those are dog realted though!)

I don't think that I have posted anything non-dog-related in there before[8|], but to be quite honest I never saw the NDR portion before today! Now I am excited because there are more things to check out! And I have to admit, sometimes when I really want something answered I will post in Anything/Everything or Questions and Answers because I know that people will see it. [8|]
(Mostly because I am REALLY impatient)

It seems as if you need some chocolate.

I think you're totally right! Cuz even now, nothing looks out of place there. I just felt like I missed the initial stuff when Talus was sick, then when Prince Pride got a new dog... speaking of which, where the heck has SHE been lately? Did I miss her?

Yeah, I'll just stop whining and get some chocolate... or a piece of @$$! lol! I've heard folks say that can cure crab-apple-attitude!

Chocolate is good for what ails you. If nothing ails you, it's good for that, too.

I've been gone a few days due to being sick, busy, and looking at houses, etc. I come back and find OOOOOODLES of messages.

No, you aren't imagining anything!

Hmm ... it can work wonders, given the other person knows what he/she is doing. LOL!
