I'm sort of new around here in a way. Been a member for years but absent and thought I'd pop onto the board.
From my point of view, the name cats & critters is fairly inclusive, you get the sense it is a board about animals and that is the main point you'd want to get across.
Wouldn't worry me if the name was tweaked or anything, but just saying, cats & critters is descriptive.
I would enjoy reading informative posts too, as someone mentioned. I've got 2 dogs, for the record. Star and Ringo.

Oh... I see... it’s about Herb is it?

I thought it was about what was best for the this board?
To lure more posters in?

I see that one person’s preference of past to highlight “cats” is more paramount?

Me having been in business learnt that flexibility is key to success, and we live in ever changing times that need that flex to adapt.

so you dont care for sentiment lols?...

over time we have had a few name changes here I dont recall them ever doing much for membership..

however if its what the majority wants then so be it....

and that goes for both ways...

Sentiments are fine .....but ......is that what it’s all about?

no but some peoples memories fade slower than others..

maybe you havent noticed that.....in th e past and I mean real past we had some really really nice members
one by one they left no one seems to care all that much at the time...but then one day we wake up and the place has become a place full of tit for tat nasty..... threads become a place to see who can outsmart and be the nastiest..

suddenly we remember what we used to have....decent conversation arguments for sure but not entire threads...

and if those "nice" people had their own board it could be a safe place for those who dont like all the slagging off,to go too for a break.....

now we are driven to joining other forums to take a break.. Sad

You obviously didn't understand Mark Taylor's and Steve Waugh's method of Captaining. I guess you preferred Clarke's and Smith's 'Cheating' efforts instead and 'toxic schisms'. Roll Eyes

We know who was the more successful.

I wouldn't really think of a Horse or Elephant as a 'Critter' and sure Herb was great - but Herb is gone. I doubt he would care if the Board became more universal.

Animal Kingdom kinda covers it all - for both Wild, Domesticated and Petted.

Maybe we can create a Board for Monk: Monsters Inc Wink

Hi Sherri. Could I entice you to vote for me as I am the more open minded of me and Monk.

Yes cods, sad when good people leave. Sad when no effort is made to stop the drift.

And modest too!

Hey, I don't want to get involved in any fighting though of course, if others enjoy it, that's okay too.
Don't mind the name animal kingdom either.

I was just thinking though that the voting reminded me more of who wants to be 'Lord of the flies'. Wink

Just kidding!

Mark and Steve knew what they were doing, you obviously don't.

Besides, your not being asked to captain anyone. Only to moderate the board. That you don't know the difference highlights why you shouldn't be a mod.

Taylor and Waugh were confident with their abilities and allowed their other players to use their potentials in their own individual ways. The Windies under Lloyd were the same.
I do that with Members who participate in a Board which I would Mod.
Clarke & Smith were/are all about themselves over the team. Captains are considered the role model for Best and Fairest.
Clarke caused a schism and his little biff with Katich was an example of his 'celebrity' ego. Smith allowed the toxicity of Warner to ruin the team and followed him as if he was the Captain (The Whaling ship Essex is a good example of this). Eventually 'cheating' came into the side. Things people do to win. Roll Eyes

Cricket is a 'Team' sport and even Bradman was 'disliked' by his team-mates. Pretty sad when it's all about one player in a Team sport.

I could add more, but I would rather eat a bowl of water with a fork than put up with your ignorant opinions 'Sandpaper Smith'.
