ok had a look and seen there has been no mention of an Escapoligy section now i know htere is a few people on the board that do escapoligy and i know being able to chat about that would be cool

anyhow what you lot think?


Derek

An escapology section WOULD NOT WORK.

Just imagine, people could say what they liked their, swearing, givimg secrets away etc.

How would the Mods LOCK it, without someone trying to open it again?

Sorry to PICK on you.

Guess I'm just TIErd.

Puns are getting a bit ROPEy now.


The problem is, what about a section on balloon models, juggling etc etc?

There just wouldn't be enough posts to warrant having to search 2 pages of forum headings to cater for each item.

actualltually it would work it did on another forum (i lost where it was lol) and there would only be escapoligst allowed in so secrets are less of a problem, also wheres this 2 pages of forums heading come from? if its a user group like the mentalists then there is no forum heading its only viewable by those who are autherised to see it!

Read the first part of my post again. You will see it is tongue very firmly planted in cheek.

The second part wher I mention 2 pages of headings wasn't.

Given the size of the escapology posts, you would also have to let these other topics have their own headings. ( Sorry if I miss any out)

Cards

Coins

Childrens

Stage

General close up

One to include "Other", such as juggling, vents etc

Add Escapology to this, slap on all the Forum headings etc.

I felt that there should have been a couple more headings, eg, one for ALL close up, including cards and coins etc.
I have changed my mind, because this Forum differs in style from most others.

It has a "Support And Tips" section. To have too many other sections, would see the same topic, spread in different sections of the board.

My opinion anyway.

i would love to see an escapology area, i would be more than happy to help. i have my "own" escapolgy forum (sort of, i created it and i am in charge of that section and 4th in charge of the entire site), but the more there are the better, i post on jsut about every escape forum there is.

Truthfully, I don't believe the demand for an escapest only forum is high enough. Secondly, if we older guys that are familiar with escape systems have to weed through the horrid language used by folks like Pcwizme (who is attempting at using something other than English to convey their posts by)... well, you just wouldn't get too far.


(that was a hint Pcwizme... try hard to actually spell words the right way and use proper punctuation so people don't think you're a total looser... this is one of the most important secrets to success in any and all fields.)

well maybe if you had one, it would become use full, you never know till you try.

Shouldn't that be "so people don't think you should be a total LOSER"

I didn't say it had to be "perfect" English, just a closer facsimili to recognizable and understandable language... Hell, I'm an American, what do I know about speaking "English"...

i think it would be quite a good thing to have here i mean all you have to do is make some more rule for this section and abide by them and it would work

Yeah, but if someone broke those rules how could the mods lock the thread without someone picking it open again!

you right again flash oh well back to the old drawing board

Craig,

I think if you took a closer look at Pcwizme's signature you would realize that he is dyslexic. So please go easy on him.

I sure wish people went easy on me for all those years I was given grief for similar problems. Sorry, but I have a strong prejudice on that issue and see it more as a convenient excuse in today's world, to not try. Far too many people with this problem and ADD/ADHD have applied themselves at such levels as to become seen as legit GENIUSES.

I can most certainly empathize with people dealing with such problems but I refuse to enable them. I have far too many examples in my life of people similarly afflicted that found ways "out" of said trap. It is as my teacher Louis Hay taught years ago, "There is no such thing as a Victim, only those that volunteer to be such..."

Before it's Brought Up... yes, I make mention about my own illness and how it limits me. The catch here is the fact that it "limits" it does not "stiffle" e.g. my challenge is to find alternate ways of dealing with what is going on in my life and work both, with it and around it so as to proceed along a progressive and responsible line of action.

Pardon the "lecture" but I have exceptionally little tollerance when it comes to "invented" medical terms that lend excuse to society; excuse to be lethargec and not try as well as an excuse for "the establishment" to capitolise off of society. In short, this is a very touchy (and questionable) topic for me.

Right where do I start... Dyslexic is not a way out of anything! I am dyslexic and I really struggle with spelling. I also have Autism and did not learn to talk till I was 5 then it was a god 2 more years for reading and writing to start to form. My Spelling, Puntuation and grammer are total rubbish not through lack of trying. But as long as people can understand me it does not matter. being unable to spell is far from a

convenient excuse in today's world

it is a problem that hinders us.

As for your next comment

"There is no such thing as a Victim, only those that volunteer to be such..."

are you trying to say a 4 year old child beaten by their parent because there parent can't handle their alcohol is volunteering to be a victim.

This has really upset me. Why comment on something as silly as spelling and grammer. you understood what the post ment and thats all the matters. And then to bring the whole there is no such thing as a victim in to it. I give up I really do. But this is just my personal view.
