Not knowing the sincerity of this poster, but I think a global reach for LP would be a good thing.

I don't see a problem with it, assuming you mean that you'll be creating a new Topic in Spanish (not Forum). I'd recommend specifying in the Subject and in the first message of the topic that it is in Spanish, just so people know what to expect.

Is it allowed to create forum in Spanish language?, I check the rules but I didn't found any prohibition, just want to be sure amigo.

That's not what I meant.. I could say yes and you say no 72 million times but most wouldn't consider that a conversation. Just expressing opinions.

I'm not here to disagree. But I feel that my opinions may not be as welcome. Please see my original post Lottery Post is /will be a GOOD place for like-minded members to discuss all things that are relevant. IMO conversations reveal ourselves to others. You know. Who we are.

Maybe this is not appropriate for this castle.

Thank you for... [ More ]

Little conversation? Hmm, not sure 7.2 million posts on the forums is little , but we all differ I guess.

Yes Raven62. That is a guide that provides a starting point ...

But Todd says running a forum is as much art as science. Are they different? Do they coexist? Do they provide the desired result? I was not asking about any one single forum. Just naming examples.

There is harmony between all of them.

On the top of the Mystical Forum one can find the purpose of the Forum so that like minded LP Members can interact with each other more effectively:

The opposite of scientific and mathematical, mystical discussion centers on topics such as meditation, visualization, dreams, psychic powers, astrology, metaphysical, and the supernatural.

I don't know that you or I can do anything. You provided the place. I entered where you graciously allowed us to speak. There is little conversation. I always wanted to hear what others thought or felt. We cannot put those words in their mouths. They have their own voice yet choose not to use it. You or I extolling them to speak up may just fall on deaf ears.

Is there something you believe we should be doing differently? How

I ask because there usually is not much discussion . Many forums are typically used to write an opinion without the why, what, where, how, etc.

Regardless, I thank you for honoring me with your reply.

Running a forum can be as much an art as it is a science.

The rules about posting in particular forums for certain topics is primarily for ensuring that if someone is looking for discussion about something, they can easily find it. However, it's also about fostering an environment where people can discuss topics in their own voice without conflict.

Since you mention the Mystical forum specifically, I'll provide some context.

The Mystical forum was one of the last forums to be created... [ More ]

Don't know if this is the appropriate forum but I wanted to express my gratitude. This is your castle. You invited us all in and allowed us to speak. You built a place that minds can put thoughts to words.

So I ask. Am I allowed to speak of things that that may be considered as mystical in a forum that you created to be mathematics, jackpots, pick 3, etc.? All things being relevant. Washing bottles ca be tedious. And sometimes necessary. I do not wish to create more problems for you. I know... [ More ]
