I assume most of those praising it are somehow involved with Whatsonstage.

Im not and I love it

I merely assume that because there has been a surprisingly large amount of effusive praise for the site, from posters I do not recognise, in the very short time since it was back. As the only way regulars can know the site is active again is to check periodically this looks suspicious.

I see several restaurants have recently been charged with posting bogus reviews of their own establishments on message boards, so it is not an unknown practice.

Also, what is the point of having a "more powerful" site ? The purpose is discussion - not to try to impress others with feeble photographs.

LOL well okay thats your view. I'm chuffed that you think we work for WOS. I find it suspicious that you are negative about it. Perhaps you work for a rival website?

But in the same way that you can say you don't like it we others can say that we do.

I chat on quite a few boards and this is by far one of the better designs and has so many useful features.

Just jump in and have some fun.

Blue: have you ever posted anything on a WOS message board before ?

Thanks for the advice to "jump on in" - if you HAD been famailiar with the old board you would probably know that this advice is superfluous.

Just want to say I'm a regular WoS poster of about 4 years and I genuinely like the new layout - no payoff needed. It's very familiar to me from other website forums I use and I find it clean and unfussy - the previous format I found horrible and clunky. It's a bit much to get all suspicious about people praising it! It might be "more powerful" not just in the sense that yes you can add photos etc but also in technical aspects and ways hidden to us, that benefit us and WoS. But none of that will prevent our enjoying the same level of discussion we always did.

No never I did not like the structure of it.

Look forward to chatting to you on here

hey Ive just seen in the board setting section that you can blocck everyone's photos, signatures etc if that helps

Blue: Your work here is done, your efforts in facilitating use of the new site has been admirable - but now that the usual old posters are back in action you don't have to pretend to be interested in theatre anymore.
