Loving my Oldies Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I understand totally the reasons that this forum is restricted, but I read it from time to time and sometimes go to post before remembering that I can't. Therefore, I hope I will be excused from starting a post about threads in that forum, but I just wanted to say how much I am hoping and praying that SLF's girl will be delivered safely of healthy pups after having been bitten by a snake. You must be so anguished, SLF. It was wonderful to read that she was home and seemingly okay. Looking forward to updates when she has the pups. Another thread that really really grabbed me was woody2shoes' thread about her newborn pup who wouldn't suckle and, through all efforts by her, is now going great guns. Lovely threads and I will continue to follow with anticipation, so long as it is remembered: there must be photos :laugh: :laugh: Edited January 20, 2014 by Danny's Darling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 LOL, I do the same thing, work out what I want to say, go down the bottom and it's only when I see that the post box is missing I realise it's a breeders forum thread. I agree with the two things you mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkabull Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I always read in that thread and would love to be able to respond and also post my own queries and pics of my pups but my breed is not a ANKC recognised one I'll continue to read anyway as there is some great advise and answers to my questions even though I haven't asked them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I would not like to see animal rights nutters given the opportunity to post to the breeders forum . . . so as much as it would be good to offer support, etc., I think the negatives of opening the forum outweigh the positives.

Pattycake Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I am the same DD, I like to read it and yes it would be nice to post in there but I can understand why it is restricted, SLF hoping you're girl and pups are ok and I love seeing all the newborn pics :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosetta Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I find it interesting reading but have no wish to post. I don't think that animal rights nutters post anywhere on this forum anyway. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Danny's Darling - unless the rules have changed recently, you do not have to be a member of the Breeders' Forum to begin a thread. You can post there, but not join an existing thread Sandgrubber - don't worry, AR move the threads to other locations to discuss them in the lowest and nastiest terms. Oh, and anti-breeder terms.

YvonneM Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I too often read that section of these forums and often would like to comment on a thread, but can't. I have been following SLF's thread too and hoping for safe arrival of babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Just do what the OP did, start a thread here in general, it usually gets seen. DD maybe change the title so that SLF notices it. There have been a few duplicate threads when warranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I thought it was against forum rules to bring stuff from Breeders to General. I just normally send the person a PM if I think I can contribute something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) :) I am not asking for the forum to be opened, Sandgrubber. If is against the rules, JulesP, I am sure nutters of other persuasions will soon be reporting me to the administrator. :laugh: I started the thread because there were not many people posting in the threads I mentioned and the OPs may not have realised that they had a lot more support than was evident, so sending a PM (which is a nice gesture) would not have the effect of letting the posters know that others were thinking of them and their dogs and wishing them well.

Loving my Oldies Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Just taken another look at the Breeders Community forum, Jed, and it says no to starting a new topic as well as posting in an existing thread. And I will repeat: I completely understand why this is so, I have no hidden agenda and have not wish for the rules to be changed :) :) Edited January 20, 2014 by Danny's Darling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No threads to be created, all communication must be private If the people involved wanted a discussion about their breeding issues on General they would have put it on General and not in Breeders. Whilst it hasn't been done with any evil intent it is still bad forum etiquette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Just taken another look at the Breeders Community forum, Jed, and it says no to starting a new topic as well as posting in an existing thread. And I will repeat: I completely understand why this is so, I have no hidden agenda and have not wish for the rules to be changed :) :) My apologies, the rules have obviously changed since I last looked. As far as moving stuff from breeders to general forum --- I doubt there is any problem with what you have said. What WAS the problem was rampant AR nazis moving things so they could all shoot a few arrows and rant and rage about filthy breeders. This is why many of the people who used to post there, don't now. You go for it, DD, all breeders need a boost every now and again!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I didn't see a single post where anyone was 'discussing' SLFs breeding issues, just a few people wishing her bitch a good recovery and safe delivery of her pups. It makes sense to put it in breeders so that people with breeding experience can offer advise without random know it alls offering their own advise when they don't really have the experience to do so BUT a lot of others would simply like to wish them well and that's all that happened here.
