Durham General Chat Thread

I don't know if creating 16 new threads would be the way to solve that though... I can see why it would be useful in some ways, but the threads would probably sit inactive for most of the time as there are only one or two people on here for some colleges, so then they'd get lost in the mists of the previous pages and would get ignored by people who don't use the search.

I was thinking more along the lines of what Oxford and Cambridge have done: they have set up a link at the top of the page that redirects you to all the colleges. Anyway, you are probably right. It would just be forgotten about.

That's separate fora though, is it not? The volume of traffic in the Oxbridge forum is much higher than the Durham one, so it's probably justified in the former whereas it just isn't here. That, and as I said perviously, it would probably drive Becca mad.
why do new threads peeeee people off so much anyway? i LOVE making new threads :smile: x <3

but when the new thread has already been made about a bazillion gazillion (very slight exaggeration) times... it's not so much fun.

Besides which, there are threads for all the colleges throughout this forum, if you bother to use the search. They just end up getting abandoned, and then end up being remade, and then abandoned, and then remade, and then abandoned... and so on and so forth...

All we have to do is report the new threads, then they can be merged into the actual college thread. Assuming the mods have been given the merge button of course.

Been trying to learn a big book of Calculus, then planning on looking at all my Physics work that I barely understand at all. Did you get much from the metro centre?

Wow, sounds pretty good. Have you tried getting it online or anything much yet?

Well you see all these threads cropping up saying "What's this college like? Is it true what they say...? So who's applying to...?" Wouldn't it just be more efficient to have one for each? You guys have been around for longer though, so I guess you'd know better.


That is what the FAQ is for.

Us oldies really don't mind new threads being started, really. So long as the topic has been searched for first. I would much rather someone dig up a 2+ year old thread than make a new one about the same topic. In fact, I often rep people for doing just that.

Lol, i thought it would have been been straight out of the box!

As for my work, I am taking a break for a good while, I will probably do some when everyone else has gone to bed.
