Looks like we’re back in business!! I wonder what the problem was…

Should we move to the FB group? Free. Don't need an admin. We already have a group page. Easier to post photos and videos ... Just a thought

I like that idea but a lot of people won't go on Facebook.

We have a fb group page?

A lot of us don't use FB, and some of us want to be able to post under a screen name rather than our real names....

The group can be made secret and private. Lurkers can't visit.

Yes. It's called WTF in Exile. I started it a while back when Matt was awol. I figured if this site ever went down we'd be able to find each other there. If you are on FB, search for it, ask to join, and I'll let you in.

Hmmm… I’ll go where everyone goes, but there are some benefits to the forum style (like the way threads are organized with titles etc…)

Plus, with an open forum we always have the possibility of new people joining.

I do not use FB. Never will.

(Okay, I did for three weeks for a class I was taking but I used an alias and a picture of my cat from college days.)

Please let's stay right here.

I vote NO for FB.. I have been on a FB diet for sometime.

Like Amazon, I am pissed that FB has become the only way folks think they can reach out...

I have folks message me there about my welfare...

Pretty simple to have 2 or more who have admin acess here so that if anyone can't be online to fix stuff, pay the bills, we have back up.

This. I think we especially need someone with admin access who is a regular poster/visitor here.

Oh right, I seem to remember that. I may already be a member.

Quirt, pj and wtg are admins for off-key, which I'm pretty sure means they are admins for everything.

I could be wrong (about the admins for everything part).

Nope, just moderators, which means what they can do is pretty limited. Moderators can deal with posts and maybe ban people but can't do anything to keep the site up and accessible.

There’s only one admin, and that’s Matt. I’m grateful for all he does for this forum, but I think we need one, preferably two more actual admins just in case. Also, Matt is never here (I wish he were!) so I think someone who is a more regular visitor and poster should be an admin.
