I'm not sure there hasn't been any talk of rules yet. So I guess it's a free for all til someone goes and makes some. :D

Rules? Fuck it, we haven't even sussed out how to make the thing work yet, let alone any rules.

(Though the "annual beer tribute to the admins" rule may yet be written in stone.)

Sue U, we're just making this shit up as we go along.

I can see no reason for any moderation or banning of members at this point.

I don't like such actions and I enjoyed that aspect of the CSB.

I also enjoy the fact that we have global administrators, cause relying on Gob to keep the Board functioning may not be the most sensible idea. :-)

A HUGE Hen "Hello" to all our new members.

I am hoping this will be the sort of Board where AI can relax, kick my shoes off and enjoy myself after a day in the salt-mines. (Be that being silly, or arguing the toss.)

:ok
Bah!

Sue, I think this bares restating;

This is the present situation.

I already pay for the webspace for my own "vanity site", I bought the domain name "theplanbforum", it cost $10 :)

Should this forum develop, I think it should be moved out of my webspace and given over to a flexible comittee, with it being sustained and paid for by the members.

If it doesn't develop and dies on its arse, it's cost me $10, I can live with that.

So if I carry the forum in the interim, to se what happens.

If by the time my webspace renewal comes up (I think I have 8 months left at present) the forum still valid and worth it, we'll organise to buy some webspace and I'll give the name and forum over to the members.

That sound good?

I would also like to see the admins stay at at least four, to stop the sort of abuse which is going on at the CSB.

All committee members should have admin level access, even if they do not want or use it.
I'd also add that any rules can be decided, by poll here of the existing membership.

That's if anyone thinks we need rules?

You haven't met Al yet?

Jeeeezus. Where have you been?

I just hope Al likes the Board, otherwise I am fairly much fucked in trying to get him to relax.

Bah!

Daisy has been invited and everything.

She was meant to be one of the Global mods. I do hope she does join even as just a bog-standard member like me.
Bah!
