Hi,
THe other verbal forum is a "Best Verbal Discussion Problem". The motivation of that forum was to pick the best verbal questions from the regular vebral forum (which is this forum) and move it to the Best Verbal so that members who want to quickly brush up their verbal skills, or are going for a revision need not trawl through the regular forum to do so. Instead they can move to the Best Verbal Forum for their needs.
However, of late, it was observed that a lot of regular discussion that should take place in this forum was heading over to the Best Verbal Forum. This poses two problems. Firstly, by posting in the Best Verbal Forum, the thread might not get the best visibility that it would normally get if it was here in the regular forum. Secondly, members who are in their final preparation now need to scroll through all those discussions for their revision work. It defeats the purpose of having that forum.
As such, we're trying to do a bit of spring cleaning in that forum, and it would quite a task if new posts keeps popping up there while we're doing it, wouldn't you agree? We recognize that people might posts questions about the best verbal threads if they have some doubts, so we're thinking hard of the best way out. For now, you can still view the forum, but not post yet.
I hope to get your understanding on behalf of the moderators. This forum's success is built on the backs of members like you, and we hope to be different by providing a valuable experience here.
Please feel free to highlight concerns or suggestions here if there are any. Good luck for your GMAT prep, and hope to see you around still
