One of the problem on this forum is that important threads sink and have to be bumped. An alternative to this is to create an index thread and then people can keep the link to this index in their favourites.
To start with I think the Odin and EJ are likely to be in use for some time yet.

I hope this covers most of the long term threads. New ones can always be edited in. Hope this helps.

The Loch Garten thread has no priority over the forum's front page popular or not. Loch Garten is just another group.

Well by your comments you are just bumping this thread. This thread has been on the forum longer than you been a member.
Since when has length of membership meant I have less rights or priveleges than anyone else ? Is my membership resented for some reason ?

What part of terms and conditions are being violated by the adding to this thread?
Why did you join the Loch Garten Group if you have no interest in it?
My comments have only been about the practice of bumping. It is rude and strongly discouraged on every forum I have ever visited.

I suggest that the members of the group will give you their reply later today.

Where did I say I have no interest in it ? Please don't attribute to me things which I have not said.
This group has evolved over a few years. Most people seem to be happy with it as is. Just every now and then someone "rocks the boat".

Yes. In this case they did it by resurrecting a comment I made 7 weeks ago.
I shall not read or respond to this thread again.
