dear radio listeners
you have your own board, fuck off to it.

edit: i seem to remember the bennies have offered their board for non-FTL show chat.

its not ftl
so we technically dont

This isn't an FTL show,
but I agree there's no reason why all radio chat can't take place there.
( Comma, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:10, archived)

but then why should we
?
( Dill, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:11, archived)

Because not everyone here is listening
and it's annoying to see post after post about something and not have a clue what's going on.
( Comma, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:12, archived)

yeah fair enough
but there's nowt much going on here anyway
( Dill, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:13, archived)

Fair point
If the bennies have offered their board
( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:13, archived)

Yes.
There's no reason why that board couldn't be used for radio talk.
( Comma, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:15, archived)

I heartily agree,
but my opinion doesn't count.

I saw a van with "Jesus Army" written on the side yesterday.

all the time - theres a jesus army centre in town here

TERRORISTS!

Libyans?!
121 gigawatts?!!

I think you're being a mini bit ott,
it's hardly as if the board is flooded with posts!

i just come back from dinner and the only new posts
have been radio related.
( asparagus time Is in Brazil., Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:14, archived)

Two in a row
is enough of a flood for me.
The second post could have been a reply to the first, even.
( Comma, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:13, archived)

I do agree with what you say.
Mind you, they knocked a post off the board that was 4 hours old.
( Druid, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:16, archived)

they knocked a post off the board that was 4 hours old
have they no shame
( Dill, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:18, archived)

That's not the point.
I'd rather have no posts at all than posts which most people don't understand.
( Comma, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:18, archived)

pfft
come on Comma who the fuck actually understands all the posts on B3ta?
( Dill, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:19, archived)

What I'm saying
is that "Woo, great song"-style posts are only understandable if you've been listening to the radio while that song was on, so it immediately excludes all but a handful of people.
( Comma, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:21, archived)

and you're perfectly correct
but that handful are also b3tans aren't they?
and therefore entitiled to use the board?
( Dill, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:23, archived)

But there are other boards
that they could use without upsetting anybody.
( Comma, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:25, archived)

but you post here when you listen to me
don't you?

pots and kettles?
( Dill, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 19:25, archived)

have I upset you?
If so I do apologise.

the board was rather quiet and chatcanstill continue
