What's the deal with the Spinning Cross Continental Relay Forum?

It made me laugh... I never go there... and now I know why... it seems to be a swamp of misplaced posts and threads.

Maybe there are one or two that actually have to do with the Spinning Cross Continental Relay (I spun those poi years ago. Weren't they retired in the HoP museum or something?!)

Is there still a HoP Cross Continental Relay? And who are all the people posting random threads in that forum? Are any of them NEAR topic? It seems that it has turned into an "I don't understand the 'meet others' function" forum.

Go look. You'll laugh.

... hee hee...

There's even a 25 page Dutch poi spinner "Event and Gathering" thread nuzzled in there. Who knew?!

OK, off to bed with me...

I think I found the thread you were loking at, but maybe not cos the 2 I read about the Spinning X-Contiental Relay werent very long and seemed to make sense.

Did it ever happen?

Hmmm.

The Dutch thread turned up there by accident (yes, they do happen), but that thread has managed to bring loads of people together... people who aren't in either the UK, US, Oz or NZ (yes, those people do exist).

So I don't see much of a problem.
Does it personally offend you NYC?!
(sorry if you really did think it was funny - though American humour must be quite different from Irish! - but that post did come across as sarcastic)

You might want to reword your post Ms Poise as you come across sounding quite nasty to Mr NYC. And thats not very friendly now is it?

Sarcastic or nay, NYC seems to have a point.

The last post that i could find pertaining to the relay kit is from April 2004...


an entire misguided forum soaking up valuable bandwidth.... nope can't see a problem with that either!

Really?!

Ohhh. Not intended at all.
(Which bit... for future reference?!)

I'm not offended by anything or anyone concerning the Dutch thread! I don't see it as a problem.

I was only laughing at the pure randomness of all of the posts on there.

I'm not complaining or whining or even suggesting changing anything. It just struck me as funny in that it was like a forum of lost threads.

See? he's a sensitive soul and now you've made him all defensive.


*hums a lullaby to try and soothe the delicate New Yorker*

Cantus. Hush and stop stirring or I will have to be nasty to you!

*evildirtylook iconthingy*

I'm scared to look in there in case i gett swallowed up

yes and im proud of it!

maybe i'm a little slow, but it appears to have gone missing!

Oh well.

is that a zen saying too?

I noticed that this morning...

The most zen of all sayings. Except perhaps "Hmm..".

Well spotted. Yes, it's gone. It wasn't being used for anything other than misplaced 'Meet Others' postings. So Malcolm has axed it from the site.

no, it hasen't been kicked off the site, just moved to the gatherings section, where it belongs...
and before you all start slagging off the dutch in these forums, we do have the most well placed, well organised post ever in the "meet others" section so to you!!! maybe all of you native english speakers could learn something from that. and while on the subject, how do you expect us to get things like this right when you are the ones making most of the english spelling and grammatical mistakes... how do you expect us to learn?

quiz: find the mistakes in this post, and be real clever about it...
