aaannnthony Posted August 29, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2004 ......." the HAL message board is designed to share information and experiences on HAL" I was further informed that my two threads in the last three days have been moved to Float Away lounge because "your polls were intended to be humorous, and, that forum is designed for such information". I'll bet 9 out of 10 that view this post never heard of the Float Away lounge. So, all of us geezers looking for a little levity, don't come here....you go to the Float Away lounge.....see ya there!!

dakrewser Posted August 29, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2004 While the moving of the threads may strike some as heavy handed, the line does have to be drawn somewhere. Newcomers come to this board to find info about sailing on HAL ships, it really shouldn't be cluttered with things that bear no relationship to that theme - especially when there are other boards devoted to those "off topic" discussions. We owe a real debt of gratitude to those who sponsor and maintain this discussion forum for our benefit. The least we can do is to, generally, abide by their rules.

Krazy Kruizers Posted August 29, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Awhile back - about a month ago - I can't remember the thread's topic, but it also disappeared to the float-away board. I think it had something to dow with one person talking to another about things other than ships and cruising. (Home life) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvcruzin Posted August 29, 2004 #4 Share Posted August 29, 2004 If personal and homelife topics were removed, I'd see a lot more of them disappear. The Float-away-lounge is not a bad set of threads. I've visited there many a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherInFlorida Posted August 29, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Actually I'd never heard of it and was kind of glad to find out about it. But there's a few threads on here now that should float away over there as well. But I'm not tellin' 'cause I like all my threads in one place!;) Yes, I know I can go to my subscriptions page, but I also like to see new threads that have started. But I have added Floataway to my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomc Posted August 29, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2004 If I want to get way the h*ck OT and talk about my baby's new teeth, I'll go to C@. It's a nice place for that. If I want info about HAL, I'll come here. Like soap that kept getting loose in the shower, things got out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaannnthony Posted August 29, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Host Wilt has now removed the previously moved 2nd thread of mine from the "Float Away" lounge.......I'm not sure why since the views were nominal, the only players there are the "Conga" line!

imsulin Posted August 29, 2004 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Ummmm - no such person as "Host Wilt". The "Floataway Lounge" is far more than Conga Lines, and has been there for quite awhile. Just an FYI.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
