Let's just forget about a new forum. After all this mess, I've totally lost interest. "Let the Wookie win."

I want Rosanne to win. I have wanted her to ever since she first came up with the idea. As she first presented it, it was a great idea. Since all the "discussion" (for want of a better word) it has come to be seen as inflammatory or something - but what Rosanne asked for so long ago was entirely reasonable. She (and many others, including me) had been modded in HR for not offering proof, and moved out of talking tarot for not talking decks many times. There needs to be somewhere between.

I am still all for it, myself. I don't care if it's in HR, or if the rules for TT were just relaxed to include history topics. I'd just like a place for speculative discussion.

I totally agree. I thought Solandia was going to do something about this when she got back from her travels?

There's always Talking Tarot, but there is a danger of guilt by association with all the amusing nonsense with which that forum is burdened.

Several of us have had our more historical or deck associated comments moved out of this section in the past.

I think all the arguing may have put her off. I wouldn't blame her.

It IS by definition more CARDSy...

TT = Talking Tarot :) Sorry for abbreviating, I should have been more clear.

I have had posts in HR modded (via PM) by non-moderators. That can be annoying too. I didn't know that about TT.
 
There was a wish: A new Forum Historic French tarot online exhibit, many samples (27 pages)
