There are some suggestions to bring back P&R. The one good thing when it was on the board was that I could block the entire section. I would say the only way I wouldn’t mind seeing it return is if I could block it.
I'm contemplating bringing it back, but you'd only see posts in P&R if you specifically elected to join the P&R forum. And I don't just mean click a button and join instantly, I would likely have a disclaimer you'd have to agree to prior to joining P&R. It would be lightly moderated, i.e. much less moderated than the rest of the forums. Still not sure I want to do this, but we'll see.
FWIW, I did have a P&R group here in this format, only available to those who specifically joined it. I believe we had around 8ish members in there. Nobody really used it. Seems that those that want to talk about politics only want to do so when everyone can see it...? Perhaps it was just the groups functionality they didn't like (nobody really used any of the groups, which is why they are gone now).
options to format posts
In the meantime, did you know that you can click the Aa button in the editor to display text formatting options? 🙂
I do like the more easily seen formatting options of the proposed new format. There is nothing in particular that I don't like about the current format. It is workable and accomplishes the tasks. But the 'dated' older format seemed, to me, more quickly navigated. If it could bring back some other posters, I would see that as beneficial.
I sincerely hope that many of the posters who disappeared and those who only post on rare occasions will rejoin the site with much higher frequency (tenor vs. bass). 😃
Point/Counterpoint discussions are especially enlightening (SNL with Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin ) I hope many of you remember the Pipe vs. Stone discussion that went on and on and on.......................
More participation leads to feeling as though you know someone well, yet you have never met them.
No I did not realize the Aa button shows formatting options. Thank for pointing this out.
