Except by admin (which is a close as I could get to completely closing it to new topics).
I request that admins refrain from starting new topics in "Short Subjects", and also refrain from moving topics to "Short Subjects".
This is because (per my original intentions for the forum) most of the topics that belong in "Short Subjects" are not going there, and most that do go there do not belong there. For example,
in no way did I intend that forum to be a debate forum. Essentially I had intended it to be an announcements forum for others than the admins, and to be a personal communications forum (ie. Bob - Please e-mail me).
Most of all, it was to be a short term (in both message numbers and time) forum in which the messages would be deleted after their short term purpose was done.
Members may wish to view my initial "Short Subject" message, at
New Forum - Short Term Topics and Messages. "Short Term Topics and Messages" was the original name for the forum.
My thoughts are, to move many of the "Short Subjects" topics to better homes.
Perhaps in the future the "Short Subjects" forum will be limited to the original message only, with no replies allowed.
