I disagree too – most of the board regs are ex or current chatters who can and do hold their own (and more) whenever they can be bothered going back into the Chat Rooms. Many of them become Board regs because of the LACK of quick-thinkers and wit in the Chat Rooms.
Fact is, if people are ‘intelligent’ (your word – I would use ‘confident’) enough to voice an opinion on the Boards, they are going to be more than capable of coping with the lol/rofl/brb/hi/bye/bbl/mwaaaah brigade that seem to occupy the Chat Rooms MOST of the time.
Anyone worried about needing intelligence or good spelling skills on the boards could quickly be reassured by looking at any of the topics in F1 and F2 boards, the polls or quizzes boards or anything posted by DOA. :wink:
