Hey Eliot> I don't know if anyone's thought about this, but is it feasible> to have reviews of recent productions posted on this web-page?Feasible? not just feasible, but implemented in the first version of the website almost a year agoThose of you with a yearning for the good ol' days can check the URL below. (It'll be up for a couple more days, yet)There were no less than three message boards back then! Gossip, Reviews and Classifieds. Funny but Gossip was the only one that saw much action :)So when i did the new website i dumped Reviews and Classifieds and kept Gossip Central with a notion that people could always post their reviews and classifieds there.If this is a totally dumb idea, let me know! I'll put up Reviews again in a similar format to the new Gossip Central.> There is, of course, the risk that some maybe bitchy in the extreme,> so an on-line editor may be required.hehehe*webadmin mode*People just need to be aware that this is a shop window for community, amateur and independent theatre - if "outsiders" peer inside and see us scratching each other's eyes out, they'll stay away and leave us in peace. They won't come to our shows either. :(I think we all recognise that there is a fine line between being critical and being vindictive. We just have a little trouble finding it until we've stepped too far sometimes. ;)People should also bear in mind that you *can* be sued. Posting slanderous and libelous things here is the same as pinning them up in your local shop window.For this reason i will *not* delete any posts to the boards. Just like with USENET (newsgroups for uninitiated), the responsibility lies with the person posting. Say something dumb and you'll have to cop it sweet.*/webadmin mode*> I only bring this up coz I luuurrve reviewing things and others> may be the same. Any thoughts, guys? And gals?Sounds brill!Please *do* post some reviews.CheersGrant
