So many GL threads...

I know there are squillions of them!

Wait till someone starts 'hearting' them...

Nooooo!

I may be missing something here but why aren't these just done on a weekly basis? Seems a bit far in advance for the mid September ones, I always forget which ones I've responded to.

Can it, AJ... you know what will happen

they usually done 2-3wees in advance to give people enought ime to see them and comment!

If you look under "my discussions" on the right hand side, you can keep tabs on whose thread you have commented on.

There's a few where I dont even recognise the names.

If you look at the next 700 weddings list, most of the names you won't recognise; it'll be people that join, stay for a bit then don't bother but obviously stay on the list.

It would be nice if whatever is used to generate the list in the background actually took into account things like post history and last login, so in a way you had to 'earn' the right to be featured on that page.

That would be discrimination in this hitched PC world we live in!

I wanted one of Mini's friends to start her good luck thread so started it to make sure.

I think when you become friends with someone, you have more 'right' to start their GL thread than someone who doesn't know them - the longer you leave it, the more chance there is that this will happen.

*shrugs*

Mooey my friend has recently joined hitched - I would be devasted if someone got there first and started her good luck thread! ?

???

Why the ??

I wasn't sure what the smilie meant! To me, it's the vomit inducing one. Haha!

Just tongue in cheek really ? would have been more apt hehe!

I didnt get a good luck thread :-(

You arent married yet.

You have now,sorry,i tried to check up to the 10th for people who post quite a bit and did not have one and for some reason i thought i had seen one for you.

I musn't post enough, or not have any friends [:'(]

I started one for you Lauren. ❤️

Mine, if I had one, is lost ☹️

Yours was started years ago footlong - off to find the bugger!

A nice theory but how on earth do you know who is friends with someone? I missed starting one of my "friends who I have actually met, not just on the interweb" (and there were others who would equally have qualified) because an internet wierdy was too keen to get there first...*

*For FMJ, I don't mean you starting ACs...

It is obvious with some FM who they are friends with, such as you and AC being friends. I wouldn't have started your GL thread as I would know that AC would have wanted to.

Also, a GL thread is a bit different to a random thread on OT...

yipppeeeeee!!!!!!!!! that has made me soooo super excited !

I was so sure i wrote on yours,thought i was going a bit mad there.

I thought I had done lauren700's message ages ago too!

and the search continues, got to page 53 and no sign unless I've gone blind!

Found it.

But what's obvious to you might not be to others. I'm not in anyway suggesting that anyone should or would be ungrateful to have a good luck thread started - it's a lovely gesture. I just don't know how you could police who actually starts them (or feel annoyed if you get pipped to the post). I would never have dreamed of starting yours - there were several people who were presumably looking forward to the job! But I only know that because I'm relatively active here - a casual user popping in every week or so, maybe sharing a weekend or even the same day as you, could have easily got there first.

Maybe there should be a pinned list of bagsied GL threads?

I can't remember which one's I've written on! argh
