SUGGESTION THREAD

[Kumiko-Misaki]

I like the idea of the linguistic sub-forum.  

[Kumiko-Misaki]

Maybe make an announcement that there IS a linguistics forum? Not many people seem to know it is there. Or else its just the fact that the guild is running a bit slower.  

[Hermonie Urameshi]

We ave so many inactive members. gonk Maybe y'all should go through a few pages at a time and ask if any of them still want to be here...

 

[Eccentric Iconoclast]

Uh, Hermonie? Do you have any idea how much work that would be? eek

Especially considering that you can only message one at a time.  

[Hermonie Urameshi]

That's why I said only a few pages at a time.

 

[Eccentric Iconoclast]

Even four pages would take an hour. eek  

[Hermonie Urameshi]

I would do it. If you wouldn't mind. I'm not a mod, but I don't think any of them would really go check. I'll just have to wait till later, then give you a long list of those who didn't answer after like a week or so...I have a lot of time on my hands. I just don't know of time on my hands at night. I just don't know what to say.

 

[Eccentric Iconoclast]

Wow; that'd be very appreciated, then.

Perhaps I should set up a thread where people can post to take their names off that list, then?  

[Hermonie Urameshi]

Sure...

Any ideas on what to say to them? I always draw blanks when it comes to things like this.

 

[Eccentric Iconoclast]

How about putting "Concerning your membership..." in the title and saying something along the lines of...

I dunno, a bit too formal sounding perhaps?  

[Hermonie Urameshi]

I always sound formal. It'll work. Thanks. biggrin

 

[Hermonie Urameshi]

If you're still going to make that thread, I need it up before I start sending messages so I have a link to give them. I wouldn't make it 'cause I have no idea wouldn't make it 'cause I have no idea what to say. Sorry but I'm a follower; I do whatever I'm told. sweatdrop

 

[Eccentric Iconoclast]

Okay, will do.  

[Hermonie Urameshi]

だんだんおーきん！ mrgreen

I just scanned through the linguistic subforum and it seemed a sticky (or something related) explaining linguistic basics could be useful, like what is it and what are the different fields like sociolinguistics dealing with. Not discussion material, but basic facts.
