Craftster etiquette ?

[ThreadOrYarn]

...Luckily we have an off-topic board that is a great place to talk with other Craftsters about that type of thing.

Okay, color me blind, but where is this board??

The off-topics board is a perk to being a Friend of Craftster. Otherwise you can't see the board.

Oh. Well that's kinda lame. I mean I actually am planning on becoming one, probably in the not so far off future, but, I don't see why everyone who participates shouldn't get to random-chat with their friends on here.

Probably because it costs money to run this site and the little they generate from the subscriptions to be an FOC....it is a "benefit" to those people who help Craftster in that way.

Or by angeling to become an FOC.


IMHO, I think Craftster offers a LOT to everyone, even if you are not an FOC.

Craftster main purpose is as a community where people can share hip, off-beat, crafty DIY projects.  While we do have the Friends of Craftster Off-Topic board as a benefit (thank you, FOCs! ), we don't want it to be Craftster's prime focus.  First and foremost, it's a place to share and discuss crafts.

Oh I agree that it shouldn't be a prime focus or anything, just I think tons of friendships are formed here with the whole craft-bonding thing and it could be nice for people to have a place to random-chat together about other stuff too. And, I'm not saying the site doesn't offer plenty, either. I love the site, hence my relatively high post count for someone not even here 1.5mos hahaha. I just think it'd be nice not to limit that.
