Quoting Boop: I agree - Turkish time would be a great idea  |
Of course the site admins should really host the site in Türkiye and therefore help their economy rather than anyone else's.......then the site would be in turkish time

Well, time for me to add my comments.
In the first place, lets remember that this site is not that old and the improvements made since I joined about one year ago are too many to comment on. Personally I like the 'grey' fomat. It may not look as 'chi chi' as some of the other sites, but to my mind it is 'comfortable' and friendly. Nothing assaulting your eyes.
My only suggestions at the moment for a small improvement is that since the arrival of the new dictionary, you can't copy and past your word out of it because the whole page highlights.
I also actually think that the 'My Turkish Boyfriend/Girlfriend' forum should be reinstated. The point being is that so many people are on this site because of their bf's and gf's, that the discussions were, I believe, highly educational. Reading about other people's experiences, if you can relate to them, is a perfect way of understanding Turkish culture and mentality. People still discuss their bf's and gf's anyway, they just do it in other forums which detracts from the point of the forum. I know this is a 'language' class, but every language programme must include cultural lessons also and the bf/gf forums were a rich source of cultural education and understanding.

I like it too like this. Most of the time there is a lot of truth in the expression "Less is more"..

Also, when you double-click on a word with turkish characters here, those characters disappear when the word is shown in the dictionary..

I personally like the grey format - it is the easy to read and a good background colour.

Is there a chance we could have a different poetry and literature forum topic, seperated from the turkish one? And maybe a moderator could move the foreign literature and the personal attempts to write poetry there?
One could be strictly informational, and the other more like the general/off topic forum, where whoever wishes to, could present his writtings.
If I m not mistaken, the tittle of the existing one is Discussions on Turkish poetry and literature
This mess that now appears as soon as you open the poetry and literature forum, I don't think that is what we were dreaming of, when we were asking 'our' cultural forums back.
So maybe a new forum topic like 'Discussions on our members' poetry and literature' is essential?

No, it is definitely not what we were dreaming about: we wanted those forums as the place for discussions and improving our knowledge on Turkish poetry and literature as a part of Turkish culture generally, for introducing members to Turkish poets and writers and their work, for practicing Turkish, reading works of famous or less famous Turkish authors, we wanted those forums informational and educational , not personal .
Maybe, for the beginning, moderators could help, moving topics which don’t fit into this category to other categories. Of course, if they have the same idea of Poetry and Literature Forums.

Great idea, Sophie Or maybe we could open a whole new category: „Discussions on our members’ personal matters“ – there are so many members wanting to share their personal life with others and in the same time many members willing to discuss other people’s personal life. So they could do this at special Forums, not boring others who are not interested in such activities.

I know some people here feel so much at home here that they bravely publish their own pieces of writing. Much as I am impressed by their courage and enthusiasm, I would rather see POETRY and LITERATURE when I check out the POETRY and LITERATURE category. It is a great idea Sophie to create a new place on TC where they could share their writing with others who would surely provide them with lots of friendly encouragement
