    Is there a way to not have off topic threads appear on the home or new post pages?

    Is there a way to block the topics in the Off Topic thread from appearing in the listing of posts? The only way to see what discussions are in that forum would be by clicking on that forum. Their appearance in the normal stream of posts are distracting, and if you don't glance over to see the...

    New Off Topic Forum

    The staff recognizes that North Carolina Woodworker is a special place for people to come together as a family. So as of today, a new Off Topic forum will be opened for discussions that do not directly relate to woodworking but are still relevant to the community. In the past, there have...

    Maybe a topic for our next BOD meeting

    IMHO this is good and we should allow if at all possible. Maybe a member donates wood or tools or finished projects we auction off or include in a future raffle. Anyway we should have a formal policy and process so we ensure it does not impact our tax status...

    New Off Topic Forum opening date moved.

    We have decided to open a new off topic forum. We initially decided to open it on Sept. 1. I would like to move that date to Sept. 15. I feel the admin staff needs the extra time to work out all of the particular new settings, and there are a lot of them.....So if all agree, we will open a...

    New Off Topic Forum

    I noticed that this Forum has been re-introduced recently. I was logged in and looking at the "Grizzly" post dated July 20. However, I soon realized that I couldn't post a reply. The "posting rules" box said the following: "You may NOT post new threads, replies, or attachments. You may edit your...

    Let's discuss the potential reopening of the Off Topic Forum.....

    Fellow staff members, This will be a discussion as to the future of the Off Topic Forum. My intentions are to let this thread run for a minimum of two weeks, up to a maximum of four weeks. The off topic forum has been a thorn in the Staff's side for quite some time. Most of the policy...

    Off Topic Forum

    I hate to see this discussion forum disappear because some members post offensive comments or otherwise inappropriate or political stuff. Personally, I haven't encountered it in about 3-4 years of membership. How many members do we have and how many of those post such comments? I'm guessing that...

    Off topic closed, and so is discussion about it

    I was about to agree with Bas and Jim with regard to the closure of the Off Topic forum in the thread http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f39/off-topic-forums-33398/. I think Steve is fixing a problem that has not happened. Steve closed the forum because, in his own words, something could go...

    Off Topic forums

    As I just noted in this thread, I asked that for now, we ignore the off topics forum in our discussions of new policies and procedures. My reasons are fairly simple. I am convinced that that we must deal with the off topic forums as a special case with possibly its own set or at least an...

    Idea for Off Topic Forum

    In the wee hours of the morning when I couldn't sleep I thought of an alteration for the Off Topic Forum. It would be renamed to Celebrations and Concerns. This way members that want to share new births, marriages, accomplishments, etc and those asking for moral support, prayers and...

    Off topic forum

    The off topic forum, and what should/should not be posted on it has been discussed quite a bit lately. I remember that in our last telephone conference it was stated by someone that, basically, anything posted on that forum should be woodworking related but that it be something that didn't...

    "Meet the" chat topic....

    Would there be interest in having a special guest join the Thursday New Member Chats? The guest? Why its you! In thinking out loud :widea: while driving a truck load of applewood with Woodartz, this idea came to mind. I'd like to extend an invitation to both the Board and the...

    Trying to redirect the off topic forum

    I posted this true Burning Story http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f105/hot-gloat-30271/ in the off topic forum in hopes for a redirect prior to Jeff Mills returning Monday. Let's all hope it stays quiet and folks realize the true meaning of the off topic forum.

    Off Topic Forum

    A week or so ago I posted a fairly stern statement about closing the off topic forum. After several responses were made to my post, I realized that it was in fact very harshly put. Sorry about that.:embaresse I then softened up the post to hopefully convey what the BOD had discussed in a...
