The Troll Tank - without wishing to open a can of worms...

Topics

skive

I've only recently discovered it and it was a little disappointing to be honest.

It's all quite civilised squabbling.

So my questions are:

Do you read it?
What do you think of it?
Have you ever been instrumental in getting a thread banished down there?

No dragging up old rows ok, I don't want to end up down there myself!

Just curious and a bit bored.

Oh don't say that!

I really did think for a while before I posted this. I sooo hope I don't end up causing a mess.

It seems a bit odd to me... If a thread's that bad, wouldn't it be removed altogether?

I'm guessing they do remove the really bad ones fabienne. The TT I think is to take any petty squabbles away from the main forums. Quite a good idea I think.

I have read some of it. Can't make head or tail of half of it but it does seem to clear up who's who - I think

I much prefer the popcorn side of the gladitorial arena. It's safer.

That's the one stonks, it's a lovely thread. The link to the slide show of the 'mother's story' made me weep buckets.

I don't know why it's down there.

The picture thread was moved to the TT because of one particular picture ... since then, though, it's become a very popular thread and has found a home there ...

If a thread disappears, I admit, I go and see why. The rows are entertaining. Hey, I watch BB, I'm not saying I'm sophisticted

I also like Kev's picture thread down there, don't really understand why it got put there in the first place anyway? It should be on this page or O/T, it really is a fantastic thread and maybe gets overlooked if it's down there.

That's how I ended up in the TT....I was mid-read of a thread and it was bopped.

And the picture thread is fabulous.

The first post on this page has the link to the slide show that is so powerful.

This one

EDIT: stonks is right, it's very emotional.
