Ron,
I think that you are missing the point here. First of all you are making assumption on my feelings about what happen on the other board.
My feelings about that, we're (
Not Surprised ) and nothing else. It is there board and they can do what ever they want.
As far as your comment about brown nosing, I think that is out of line a bit, how ever you our free to express your opinion here as long as it is in a polite manner.
All boards need some rules, and what I'm trying to do here is allow the members to decide what happens here. So you can be confident that your opinion about the private area is well noted and will be considered in the final decision.
I respect the fact that you are voicing your opinion and encourage others to do the same. Because if they don't they won't have a right to complain about what happens.
The bottom line is,the majority of things that go on at this board will be decided by the members. So If the members want a private area, that is what they will get. If they don't, then of course they won't.
The keyword here is
majority That is how fair systems are put into place.
Also while reading your post I noticed that you are assuming the feeling of others. I think if people have feelings about certain issues they should express them.
Most of your comments, say you understand but know one else will. Well they should express those feeling. Like I said before, you can not create or build something as a group if your not actively involved.
We live in a world we're the people decide what is best for our country. We are the richest country in the world. That does not mean that some people still don't agree with the final decision. but the majority out way the minority.
Countries that don't allow this are poor and the people their are suffering. I think you get the point.
The members of this board will decide what is best for this board. I will set up a private vote soon through email.
Most importantly. This is not a live or die situation. If there is a private area, then there is a private area. If there is not, well then there is not
I encourage everyone to use our suggestion area to help with ideas that can help make the board a better place.
I'm sure we all want the board to be the best that it's going to be. I also think that the more involved a person is the more weight his or her opinions and suggestion should have.
[EXAMPLE If we as a group decide that we should all jump in the lake, then someone new or someone who rarely is active on the board suggest that we don't. There probably won't be much wait to his suggestion.
So regardless of what happens, it will happen because the majority wants it. Your a member on the board and I have received your vote, and I'm glade you voiced it.
At this time 3 say no and 11 say yes. There are 140 members, so that is why I will send out a vote by email. You have to have chosen during registration to allow us to contact you or we will not be able to send you a vote by email. If your interested in voting. You can go to the profile like at the top of the page and change your settings.
Or send me a email. I also want you guys to know that just like any other group or membership, not one person can do it alone. I run a business just like you guys and need help from everyone, answering questions, suggesting ideas and moderating the boards. I will be asking people in the near future to be a moderator of certain sections of this board. Your responsibility will be to never let a question go unanswered. Along with moderating, that people follow some very simple rules that are stated in the registration agreement. You will have certain access to some of the controls of the board right from the computer from your own office or home. If I ask you, their would be no obligation to agree. I want people that have the knowledge and time to help.
