"Something else" is not an answer it is an excuse.  And ^ what LMNO said.

Question:

If the new EB&G will be admined and modded by PD-ers, how will it be different than PD?

Which is a broad way of asking, will there be new guidelines for posting? 

The posting guidelines will be the same as PD. I prefer lack of censorship. It is not our intention to "create a new flavor of Discordia", hell that's been done here several times.

It's important to realize that it will take some time and work to get the active membership back up. I think, though we will try to give a tiny nudge in one direction that the board will develop it's own persona based on the type of posters we attract.

My intention is to be in the background instead of the foreground, and allow people freedom to post what they desire.

No excuse intended, I promise. One thing we intend to do is attempt to attract the SubGenii, while also maintaining our existing base. If this happens it may eventually lead to a board dynamic between PD and the Bar.

The Janitorial Closet will be removed. There will be no secret mod forum. Suggestions from all members will be appreciated.

I know the past there has been spotty, but all we ask is just give us a chance to improve it. It is important to realize that the user base, the people, are what makes a board successful or not.

There is precisely zero chance of Charley and Jenne starting problems.  Quit with the fucking 3rd degree.  If he doesn't want to give you concrete answers right now, maybe he has a reason for it.  Maybe he doesn't know, just yet, what he wants to do.  Maybe he has a surprise in mind.

Either way, there's no fucking reason to start waterboarding him over it.

I expected some of this due to recent events. I suspect there is more than one person who has the aftertaste of vinegar in their mouth right now.

Naw, MMIX has always been a pushy fucktard.

You just do your thing, Charley.  It's not like you charged anyone money for this.

To be honest, I was merely curious.  It should be interesting to see what new developments arise even when the rules are kept the same.

Divergent social evolution emergence whatever the non-biology anthropological term is.

I was mostly referring to MMIX's post at the top of the page, which wasn't curiosity.

MMIX was just being a shitbag.

Yeah, making concrete plans kind of spooks me because things have a way of taking on a life of their own. If we try to make solid plans step by step then we could ruin any potential dynamic that may naturally occur.

I will answer questions as best as I can, but once in a while the honest answer will be " I dunno."

I'm going to be working on both sites tomorrow for most of the day.

If anyone needs anything for here or there put it in this thread because I'll see it.

:lulz: Obviously, people who post here are incapable of having a personality or running a board that is in any way different and separate from PD

I mean, the board I run is obviously exactly like PD.

Thanks for this Charley, I'm looking forward to the new Bar.

Jenne

Hawk (aka Charley ;) ) asked me yesterday for my ideas.  Frankly, my dears, I don't have any.  I'm better at managing organic movement than starting revolutions, but I also don't want what CU started to be continued (forced movement that bottlenecks anything resembling so-called progress).

I think suggestions are welcome.  And whatever else you have to say as well.  I may not have concrete ideas on what EB&G will BECOME, but I sure as hell know what I DON'T want to see it devolve into.

Hawk's main point is so correct:  it's the membership that shapes the board, in the end.
