------------ previous post --------------------
Board 77 is evolving and many have expressed opinions on its future development. As it stands today, all so far that have signed up here have full access (except Admin forum but if someone wants a peek there then please open a thread in welcome so all can have an input who is admin and for how long).
An RP forum is in the planning: being discussed New Name for RP forum/
Issues regarding which threads to move and where is being discussed: why a confidential forum
These changes takes place in order for growth to be possible in the future - meaning, allowing new posters in upon invitation (this board will stay private as to majority wish so far) and voting which will take place in the Confidential forum in the future (or, alternatively in the welcome forum and when finished moved to Confidential).
Confidential will not be initially accessible to new members, only again upon discussion - so we can 'free up' the other forums and yet keep a 'safe' place at the same time. Threads that have content regarding the initial petition will be moved there (see link above where this discussion is taking place). A new welcome thread will be put together to replace the existing one. Input always appreciated but I'll put something together soon for you to have a look at.
Please participate. Your opinion is valuable.
cheers!
