    Default New name for Friday drivel suggestion:

    The Friday (insert date) "If you are looking for serious woodworking information and discussion you will not find it here" drivel thread thread.

    ....though I don't think that it fits as it's too big.

    That would certainly let everyone know up front anyway.

    .....so go4it people!

    I don't understand what everyones problem is. You still get your Friday thread its just that after one week it won't be kept in the forum database. Why the hell is everyone whinging??

    Given the quality of the content I'm surprised anyone wants to keep them beyond Saturday.

    I think it should be called The Day After Thursday Thread.

    Well, OK, but where is Fri 16th? I'm convinced something dramatic happened after I shot through mid-afternoon. Someone shot JR? Aliens landed? Got to have been something...

    Me too stop hoggin it HDT...

    I have a theory that the issue was the number of posts being accumulated by contributors to the Friday thread. My guess is some people didn't like seeing others racking up the posts

    It's only a theory please don't shoot me I couldn't keep it in any longer..

    That thread was deleted prematurely by accident while a cleanup of the old Friday thread was taking place. Unfortunately due to database problems we cannot restore the thread for viewing otherwise we would have already.

    Do you, ahhh, maybe want us to re-create it. I don't know about the others, but I'd have difficulty recalling my input. No, probably not.... dumb idea, forget I spoke.
