If you stick to Main and Pictures you will get mostly quilting related stuff, for some it is their only social outlet thus the variety of topics, in your profile you can choose which topics you want to see. I still enjoy the camaraderie on the board and even though I do not know the people personally I do look for certain names. We are like a big family

Maybe the mods can set up a 'other quilting items' for clothing, bags and non traditional quilt items.. But I can only imagine the more work it puts on them already..

I think you have a right to your opinion. I, myself, enjoy the variety of topics......which are mostly related to quilting and sewing. I click on unread topics and browse through the titles and just click on what might appeal to me. I don't read each and every one.....don't have the time for that. But I respect your feelings....

I think Admin has to do that or maybe Particej has some insight.

I personally enjoy the variety, and I can choose weather to read or not read. I like the fact that its sewing in general because I sew more than quilts. However I do see where it could be "annoying" to some. The people here have a vast amount of knowledge and its nice to be able to share that info all in one place. Hoping they dont change the way it is now. But if they do I guess we'll have to deal with that.

Poor PatriceJ.. More on her plate.. SORRY PATRICEJ!!!!! :oops:

I'm sure you won't be banned for stating your opinion. I'm a farily new member and love the variety of topics offered here. I love to quilt but I also love to craft, etc. It's always fun to read what others are up to. I don't have the time to read all the posts; I generally only open up ones that interests me. I hope this Forum stays as it is.

We have dealt with changes all along. Some good some well not so good. But we learn to adjust.

Although I do agree that there's more people and more topics, and I used to read all the topics, but now I go to the Main topics, and there you can chose if you want to read quilt related, general chit chat, etc., but I do think that topics such as the bow tucks are included in the quilt related, but I just will pick for example: quilt related, then I'll read the topic list, then pick what I want to read about. I still find interesting topics, although I don't always reply to everything.

You are surely entitled to your opinion. However, this board has changed over time. The only time we don't face change is when we're six feet under! :)
I suggest you either limit your access to only those topics you prefer, or just "go with the flow."
Personally, I applaud the fact that some threads have taken on a life of their own. ie: Vintage Sewing shop. Those who have taken on unofficial Moderator status on those threads put in a lot of time to answer many, many questions from readers. I'd hate to see that kind of dedication go to waste.
