Good Morning folks,

Here is another off topic!

During last year's VITTA conference there was a presenter that promoted a kid friendly "my space" for schools. Does anyone know what the name of the site is.

Kindest regards,

John

Subject: Re: [Year 12 IT Apps] OT: Rudd Money and Off Topic discussion

Hi Adrian.  I'm sympathetic - I go OT myself occasionally because this 

is where most of the people are - but lengthy OT threads do pollute the 

purpose of the list, and they do annoy people.

I don't mind deleting the occasional OT, but when they drown out 

legitimate postings they kill the reason for coming here.  People are 

here because the list is useful to their ITA needs.  Reduce that 

usefulness, and people leave.

Usenet has long known this problem, and the only Usenet groups that tend 

to thrive nowadays are the moderated ones.

I've maintained a loose hold on the reins here, allowing minor and brief 

OT threads, especially if topics are hot and urgent (e.g. reporting or 

Rudd at certain times).  But continuous OT is a different matter.

At the risk of sparking an OT flood, what do Kevork and other people 

here think?

Cheers

Mark
