The question is though how does one define the 'quality of discussion', is it measured purely on the amount of discussion, the amount of research that is put into responses, whether or not a user asks a question that would be better suited to a GNE employee even if a forum user would know the answer and be able to help.

I feel like one of the things that kills discussion the most is only having one thread dedicated to discussion, we could all be having a nice little discussion about bus related things, and someone could come in say something different and suddenly that discussion is ended.

Obviously I'm not one of the OG members so I don't know the reason behind it being set up the way it is, but other forums I frequent allow users to create a thread for each discussion, which I feel helps keep the discussion going as there won't be interruptions

I think what Dan's getting at is that issues relating to timetables either paper or online, vehicle mechanical/ internal defects and timekeeping etc should be raised direct with GNE as they will be able to rectify these things......I mean if the toilets blocked in the pub, you tell the bar staff not the punters.

To be fair when I'm having a pint, you generally have chit chat about certain topics, you dont have a massive debate about the chipped varnish on the bar...
