I would propose a PYAD Zygot site.
I've got a suggestion Walrus - you could pretend that there already
*is* one, and that it's called
HYP Practical, and just decide not to post there....
Seriously though, you've been given the only real solution to this, which is to concentrate your efforts on the
High Yield Shares & Strategies - general board.
The fight that you're trying to fight has been fought many, many times, and the changes you'd prefer to see are simply not going to happen.
You say in another post on this thread that - '
I'd prefer a far more liberal HYP board and a sectarian area for the specialists who complain.'If you can't see that the situation you'd prefer, that you're clearly describing above, already exists, and the 'far more liberal HYP board' can be seen as the
High Yield Shares & Strategies - general board, with the 'sectarian area' (as you describe it..) as the
HYP Practical board, then there is simply no hope....
You (we..) have already
*got* the solution that you're wanting - it's just that for some reason you're choosing not to use it....I hope you can see from other peoples point of view, that it might look like your decision
*not* to use the provided solution can start to look like you're just wanting to cause trouble.
I really don't think that this is the case, and I do think that you're trying to change the situation 'from within' the
Practical board, but you really do need to see that this isn't going to happen - the working solution to these regular problems is there, and it's
*not* going to change, and your continuing refusal to just accept this is likely to continue to cause trouble on the
Practical board, and will inevitably attract the attention of the site moderators.
This often results with lots of people getting wound up, but with the exact same results of non-Practical threads being moved to the
Strategies board. So why not choose to miss out the middle 'hornets-nest' bit, and simply post on the
Strategies board to start with?
The main issue you seem to have is that you think that active engagement in the income-related discussions that
*you want to have* are less likely to happen on
Strategies, and more likely to happen on
Practical, but I really do think that this is a red-herring, as Mel has pointed out earlier in the thread.
I would place a rather large bet that the majority of posters and readers on this site will actively read
both of the high-yield boards, and I really don't think that you're less likely to get active-engagement in a particular high-yield discussion just because you might choose one board over the other to post on.
As Mel has quite rightly pointed out, choosing not to post on
Strategies, and then complaining that it's too quiet, is clearly a self-fulfilling situation, and is one that will only improve if people like you (and me....) try to change that by posting more on what we see as the quieter (but more liberal...) board.....
The ideal situation for you, where Strategies has more visible 'traffic', is one which will only occur with active involvement from the people that want to see that situation develop. I'm sure this is really quite obvious to you, and is something that simply needs an acceptance of the current situation (it's not going to change....), and a will to push through with a change in approach to your posting habits when you're wanting to discuss more liberal income-generating strategies than those that are clearly defined and welcomed on the
Practical board.....
By continuing to resist the above situation, and posting where you
*want* to post, rather than where you
*should* post, then I hope you can understand that it starts to look like you're just wanting to antagonise a situation that simply
*isn't going to change*.
The truth it that you've already
got what you want - there
*is* a '
PYAD Zygot site', if that's what you want to call it, and it's called
HYP Practical.
Just stay away then, if you're not a '
PYAD Zygot', and post your musings on the more liberal
Strategies board.....who knows, by actively getting more involved in the board, you just might encourage some of the traffic over there that you want to generate...
I feel your pain Walrus, I really do, but until you understand that the solution that you're *wanting* is already staring you in the face, then it's likely to continue to cause everyone some really quite avoidable problems, and that would be a real shame.
I hope you're able to accept this, and continue posting on the
Strategies board with the types of topics that interest you.
Cheers,
