K-Man did u really expect people to follow the first rule? The 1st rule (about 2 people having to reply before u can reply again) is a joke, especially as people reply at different times, time zones render the 1st rule dead.
Secondly the rule about the 10th person summarising, no one is gonna be arsed to do that.
thirdly the beginning of the story was poor. there was kinda no theme on which to build on, it took till about the 7th or 8th post before their was any kind of theme, and then there was 2 conflicting themes, which pretty much made the thread pointless.
closing the thread coz no one was following the original rules was a poor excuse.
that thread should've been closed a long time ago on the grounds of it being a pointless thread.
maybe some rules are needed, but not the ones ahmedkkk used, e.g.
1. Only one theme, and replies have to be related to that theme
2. No location jumping. location can change but only if logical (e.g. from Brixton to Lambeth, but not like USA to Australia, then Australia to Russia)
3. No stupid topics (e.g. Fluffy, or Yash doing a poo)
4. No back to back replies
5. Story must follow on from the last post
further suggestions welcome (except suggestion of closing all neverending story threads - there won't be a problem with them if there is a set of reasonable and practiable rules.
