Does anyone read this?

Well I've read it now. I assume it's a bit of UBB standard documentation. There is quite a bit of duplication, which makes it even more unreadable.<P>I understand the reason for the last sentence, but we do allow dance-based advertising.<P>Thus I think there is scope to tidy it up.

You're right, Stuart...

Re: Does anyone read this? Only if I need help falling asleep. <P>While I think it can stand some tidying, great first run at it!

oh shag - aren't you sweet?<P>trouble is, as far as i know, it's a standard UBB page, so none of us can take credit or blame for any of it...<P>azlan, i'm the kind of person who reads everything before i sign it ( or Accept it)- so i DID read it, yes, both here and elsewhere...<P>but i'm amazed that anyone has read far enough in this thread, to get to giving you a reply...and i agree that it's verbose, and could do with a little editing: off you go...(haha! )

Well, I guess my much-feared editing pen will get to see some action...

Go to it, Tiger!

in case anyone hasn't noticed.....well, you wouldn't AFTER you've already joined(!), azlan has implemented some changes we've had on the back burner for a while now.<P>these include a Welcome page, which you can see by clicking on that 'New to this Forum?' link at the top of each board page.<P>one element of this, which i would like to draw to your attention, is the statement that this is primarily an adult board.<P>we discourage those under 13 from participating at CD, at all, and we ask that those between 13 and 18 get their parent's permission before joining.<P>of course, there is no way to monitor this, so it is essentially an honour system. we trust you. please respect that trust.<P>i am unaware of having any members under 15, and that's probably appropriate, unless you are a 13 year old whiz kid with lots of maturity and sense - as well as love of dance, of course! <P>i recommend everyone to have a look around the rest of the site periodically, as things change as fast as we are able to make them happen! (thanks, azlan!)
