Well, cloaking the board then badgering the remaining posters to conform to editec's views or be trolled; will have that effect on people.
I don't know what this is referring to. What does 'cloaking the board' mean?
In any case I am happy to wait and see what garelb does to find out what he thinks.

'Cloaking' is a American colloquialism meaning 'to make hidden'; after the article of clothing, the cloak, which can cover one's face, and hide your identity. It probably became common usage as a verb when Star Trek The Original Series, referred to a Science Fiction technology that could make an object as large as a space vessel invisible to scanners, which was known as a 'Cloaking Device'.
FWIW, Gwen no longer has any administration relationship with the board of any kind; even as an assistant admin...
I had a fairly long discussion on the phone with Gar last week, and I think he's got a lot of good ideas for the new board he's working on to replace the old CSB....An intelligent approach that will bring in a lot of new blood....
In the meantime he's promised to re-visit the editing time limit question, and I told him I would participate in that discussion.
As I said in a post much earlier in this thread, I think it would be great if we could have two viable, functioning forums that have as their guiding principle respect for the views of the membership.

Would be nice, but I think this place will now wither on the vine, as it has served its purpose.
That would be a shame, as I've enjoyed the camaraderie here, but it may be inevitable.
It may also end up like E-P's place, where a small number of people go for a friendly chat.
We'll see.
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”
I'm with you on that @W. Although without their buddy in charge to back them up and allow them to do whatever they like I think they'll quieten down a bit.
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?
