Clive Maier Posted 30 October , 2004 Share Posted 30 October , 2004 A well-organised campaign has been rewarded with Women in the Great War taking its place as a section on its own - and a good idea too. But I found the need for a poll very disconcerting. I admit to not taking much notice at the birth of other sections, but I don't ever remember a poll being necessary. ... A poll was not necessary, just expedient. There was every indication that Chris Baker was not around when Lindsey proposed the new section and every possibility that he might miss the thread on his return because so many new posts are made each day. The poll kept the thread alive in the meantime and drew out supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted 30 October , 2004 Share Posted 30 October , 2004 The poll kept the thread alive in the meantime and drew out supporters. Yes. Just check out the number of hits this and a related thread has had in the last few days. If hits is even remotely related to support then this new topic is doing very well.

Kate Wills Posted 31 October , 2004 Author Share Posted 31 October , 2004 Hi all I went on a fishing expedition on Friday - this is, I spent most of the evening trawling our archive for threads relating to Women in the War, and re-homing them in this new section. There must be many more, so if you remember any, or uncover any in the course of your travels around the Forum, please notify us here, and they will be moved across. It has been good to see a number of dormant threads revive during this process, and sad that thousands more have fallen out of sight as new threads continually pile on top. I can recommend a foray into the gaslit end of the Forum, so now these dark winter nights are upon us, why not amuse yourself by taking a look at some long-lost pages in your favourite sections.
