WHAT forums? tom

Go here, and maybe join....

<http://forum.citizendium.org/>http://forum.citizendium.org/

We came under a major spam attack a couple of weeks ago and had to take measures to prevents hundreds of spammer accounts from being automatically created, so now when you register to become a Forum member, you will have to fill out a simple little automated form that, in theory, prevents spammers from joining. You will then be approved for membership by a Constable, probably me....

Once you're a member and have browsed through some of the threads, you can then click the little blue line in the upper left that reads, "Show unread posts since last visit" -- that will then show you only the *new* messages that have been posted since your last visit.

Best,

Hayford

Even Larry, I believe, has only used it *very* sparingly over the years, and then generally for what were unquestionably important announcements, such as the voting for the charter-writing members. It certainly hasn't been used for purposes of general discussion. Nor do I think that it should begin to do so now.

As for people not using the Forums for discussion of matters of importance -- in my opinion that is primarily *their* loss, not Citizendium's. The people whose opinions and views most of us value will use the Forums.
