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.

These Forums >WHAT forums? tom Go here, and maybe join.... 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.

(was: My apologies) Hi Irma, Go here, and you'll be able to join. http://forum.citizendium.org/ Are you a member of Citizendium? You can join the Forums as either a Member or a non-Member, but it's easier to participate as a Member. If not, why not join Citizendium? It's easy to do, and I'm the Constable who will approve your request. To join CZ, just go here and go through the process: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Welcome_to_Citizendium (Click on the word Register on the left-hand side of the page.)
