Re: Challenges
Thanks for that Bruno. I had thought about it myself, as, enjoyable though they are (at least when I win! ) the forum was looking more like a competition page!

Re: Challenges
I'm glad members like the challenges. Whether your a novice or an expert, it is all a learning curve, coupled with a bit of fun and it helps to keep the forum board ticking over.
A stale / non active board is the last thing anyone would want.

Re: Challenges
Although I rarely am able to post a serious reply to the challenges, I thoroughly enjoy following the thread and thought processes that people use to solve them. I'm learning a lot and isn't that a major purpose of the forum.

Re: Challenges
Agree with all that has been said above. Apart from the fun aspect and the friendly (?) spirit of competition, I've learned a helluva lot more about BC doing these than I would have done from simple browsing/reading.

Re: Challenges
Slightly skewing this thread, but in thinking about the challenges it made me contemplate this forum in general.
While, in general, most posts are on topic, at times threads meander onto less relevant issues of a more personal nature or develop on a completely different tangent.
On the first aspect, I feel that this gives us a chance to glimpse the real person behind the name. It makes "talking" to them more real or, more importantly, more human. People from all over the world, with a common interest, can become friends. Even though I only met a few of the members, I feel as though I know many more and, through their meanderings, can ask them questions that would not have arisen if we stayed strictly to the context of the thread.
Secondly, the only problem I have with evolution of threads is trying to find where something was said at a later date. If a thread does evolve into something relevant, could a Moderator make a decision to continue the discussion in a new thread. With a suitable linking post.
Although I not a Stirling character, I do find this forum highly informative and enjoyable and thankyou to Max for pointing it out.

ps After that, Bruno and John, I think it's your shout.

Really appreciate your comments Kerry. Yes, a 'mod' can at any time and or if requested, can start a new thread.Secondly, the only problem I have with evolution of threads is trying to find where something was said at a later date.
