Surely this could have all been done with slightly more tact, like in a pm maybe?
There is a time for PM's and there is a time for open posting. I felt, in this instance, that an open posting was the most appropriate. I did not consider my approach aggressive and my reasons for posting was so that other Site members could see that a decision had been made. If they had read the post, they would understand that the same thing could apply to them. If I had PM'd this info and action had been taken, what had already gone before could still be used by others to say 'well, you let them keep bumping their post...', even though I had asked them to stop at that point. This post has had 33 replies as I type this, of which 19 were by the hosts and 6 by Mods. Doesn't leave a lot of attention coming from others, does it? Working on the principle that you would bump this every two days, we would be looking at approximately another 25 bumps!! That would try the patience of a saint. If you put this up so far in advance to generate interest and allow folk to make arrangements, then you have to be prepared for it to fall away if people don't post on it. Fact. We are not here to continually read your bumps, we have a hell of a lot more to do on this site than continually monitor your party ad. If the links in your signatures, plus the ad itself don't create enough replies, that is just unlucky.
Elissa - bad days? You don't know the half of it.

Oh - you ALWAYS have a choice - you just choose the wrong option and piss everyone off!
I have tried in the past to smooth things over by PM when you have pissed others off. I even offered a solution which has been partly been taken up but STILL the continual bumping of your own (empty) thread happens.
Enough now.
for those couples who have never been to this type of party..without going into to
much detail what happens????
is there music or do couples just stand around talking and if they wish go off.....
as couples, ????????????????????
Hi
My partner and I were set to go to the last party you guys had but thought we'd wait until after Christmas when we were a bit less strung out. Thing is, we'd love to go but it's very complicated for non-drivers as taxis back to where we are cost a fortune. What do people normally do? Drive, Taxi? Does that mean most people live near the venue? We're in Guildford...any other Guildfordians going???
Would like to make it - it's the day before my BIRTHDAY! woo hoo!

What do you consider to be too old for your party ?
Aw thanks you guys - everyone's so sweet. Got your IM today. We doooooooo want to come, shall I call you anyway? Just so I can prove I'm still a girl hehe. Oh I am so very excited and I have some kinky shoes to wear... And it's my birthday! woo hoo :P
