Couldn't agree more, as suggested in my post earlier in this thread: "Personally, I'd rather it was moved off the 'Pompey General Chat' and given it's own heading, like the La La League, etc."Betelgeuse wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 9:08 am Can it be moved to another section as it has absolutely nothing to do with Pompey?
Is there a section for games??

Re: The word association thread...
I rarely contribute to it but when it’s quiet it shows some of us are still alive. I suspect if moved it will see much less action. I’d leave things as they are.

Re: The word association thread...
Yes indeed. Let's put everything that is not totally on topic into a separate bin, shall we? And you can be the monitor for this. Perhaps change your name to Betelgeuse Monitor Police.

Seriously the Word Association thread is just harmless fun. It hurts nobody, there is no malice involved. It keeps this community ticking along when there are no other posts. In its way, it stops this board from stagnating. There have been many off-topic threads that have helped to enliven discussion, or assist posters with problems, to some these have been a welcome diversion away from general boredom. Each has naturally reached the end of its relevance, however, the Word Association thread has continued as it remains relevant.
It may annoy you and I would ask you politely to put that annoyance to one side. Please post more Pompey-related threads. If there are loads more interesting topics to participate in then the relevance of the Word Association thread will wane and then drop off the first screen. This happened before when there were many more Pompey-related threads and could happen again.
To relegate it to a sub-page is not the answer.

Re: The word association thread...
The Pompey General Chat section says something like please keep it reasonable/ clean Pompey related or not.
Check the board index under general page.

Re: The word association thread...
Perhaps we could retire it on its tenth birthday.
We could give it a little send off. Maybe a bugle player could be brought in for a rendition of The Last Post and we could all remember how exciting it got in its heyday when Jacketball was the alternative.

Re: The word association thread...
Would love to see it compulsory for all posters to post at least one word each week on the Word Association thread, but with enhanced rules and penalties.
The new rule is that each word used could never be repeated and your association with the previous word has to be explained if challenged.
The penalty being electric shock treatment if you inadvertently repeated a word or failed to explain the association sufficiently to satisfy the mods.
That would relieve any boredom

I suppose the bother Pompey boards I've been on have been a lot busier than this one. Maybe they have more members.

Re: The word association thread...
I too use other forums for Pompey only related topics. Some though just get a bit angry and opinionated compared to this backwater of considered opinion from learned fellowsBetelgeuse wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 9:46 amFair point!blue architect wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 12:34 pmYes indeed.
