how do you feel about NBR topics here

[bookbunny]

I love this board, and consider it my new home (my local shut down after the FB/Twitter button fiasco) and I would really like to get to know you guys. I was wondering how some NBR (non-book related) topics, like "getting to know you" polls and sharing other non reading stuff would be received.

I'm fine with people posting what they like and sorting through and participating where I can/ want to. But, I understand that this is a book club board, and can happily take non-book topics to their specific board if nobody else likes filtering stuff.

So what do you think? Books and only books here, or let's get to know each other?

I have no objections to non-book related discussions, so long as it doesn't get out of hand. Most of us have lives outside the books we read, and sometimes those lives influence our reading and vice versa. And there is no obligation to participate in NBR threads.

I'm fine with some stuff, so I'm getting to know everybody, but I think if it gets out of hand we need to get back to what the board is about.

:Y:

This pretty much sums up my thoughts as well.

As long as they don't takeover the board I don't have a problem with NBR topics

If it becomes a problem, at least we know we can make as many sub-boards as we want!

I think some get to know you topics are fine and even a little general chat as long as it doesn't take over the board.

I found this hilarious

It is funny. As long as it's labeled NBR, I don't see a problem with it. If it gets completely out of hand we can stop it.

I obviously think that it is fine since I posted one this morning.
