Question for Members

Newbiesaukee · 03-09-2010, 06:38 PM

There are lots of places to argue these other issues on the internet but only one Winni Forum.

We appreciate the effort you have put into the Forum and adding to your work by monitoring the non-Lake issues is beyond the call of duty.

At least on this issue, let's be conservative and keep things the way they are.

It is amazing to see the almost unanimity of opinion in the last 10 minutes of comments. It almost seems as if they were written by the same person.

Please keep it as it is.
You are doing a fine job, keep it up.

This'nThat · 03-09-2010, 07:34 PM

So far, you've got more than a dozen "keep it as it is" replies, from junior and senior forum members, join dates 2002 to 2009.....
and I agree.

Resident 2B · 03-09-2010, 07:39 PM

Please keep it as it is. Opening it up will only be a lot more work for you with very little benefit to the Lakes region.

Thanks for all you do and how you do it!!!

Don, Keep things they way they are.

Lakegeezer · 03-09-2010, 07:48 PM

Another vote to keep things the way they are. Local politics first, state politics where it impacts the lakes region. Keep the foolishness that passes for national politics out of here unless it really impacts the region, such as if Romney runs and keeps his Wolfeboro home.

Nagigator · 03-09-2010, 07:58 PM

The most refresing thing about the Winni Forum is that its just that. A forum for and about this wonderful region. I like it just the way it is. Thanks to the webmaster, and please don't change!

Phantom · 03-09-2010, 08:09 PM

Don. another vote to keep it "as is"..............

I like you (I presume) do not permantly reside in the Lakes Region..... the only reason I frequent (and perhaps too often, lol) is to find out "Real News" and reviews in the area my wife and I love most.

Agreed, Keep it as is... I'd end up getting in WAY too much trouble.

Don,my vote is to leave it the way it is. There are many other sites to view and correspond on other issues. You have always done a fantastic job moderating this site and I for one have really enjoyed participating on it. I have a question,do you need more headaches expanding it away from the lake? Well I hope not,keep up the great work and thanks for the work you do.

DBA · 03-09-2010, 08:00 PM

Dear Don,
You unselfishly host, monitor, and guard us from one another. I would hate to think of the increase of your time if you have not cloned yourself. I vote to keep this site about the lake.
And thank you for all you do...

Politics are always going to creep into the forum, and most of us have been guilty of that behavior at one time or another. Since most of us know this is not the place for such behavior we pull our punches, or at least we try to. If you do a politics forum it will take away any restraint that the members have, and you will find yourself spending more time than you want, or should, policing the site.

In my opinion you can never get rid of these elements in a forum like this, nor should you really try, but by sticking to your mission statement you can keep those kinds of ideas at a low level.
