Eriisa: That makes some good sense - I like this as well - give them some incentive to do that liitle extra to be able to participate

Andersp: Well, when it was an FS, the only way to join (as with any FS) is to be a paying member. And if the idea of the FS was originally for all those who decided to pay for life time membership and become BR's, then it stands that the only way to be in the BR FS was to be a paying member...

So it is no different now - except it is now a public discussion board where you must be a BR to participate - no different than other discussion boards ike mod squads where you must be a member of the moderators group to be in there...

So it really is not different other than people cannot be banned or kicked out from a personal dispute. All BR's are welcome to post, and no one of a BR status can be banned - I think this really should have been the way the original BR FS should have stayed...

Besides - now a BR does not have to join another FS just to talk to other BR's

Andersp: the short version is that the original intent of the BR FS became skewed and was more like a regular FS - people were being banned, and such. So the purpose of the public board - and it is actually restricted from my understanding to only black rooks was to regain the original purpose of the BR FS - but without anyone that is a black rook being banned or made feel unwelcome....

I think the FS is going to fade away except for the games and such still running. But I am not sure of the long term plans - I know the BB is open for suggestions on what to do with the FS...

My opinion is that the black rooks should have never been an FS - it should have always been a public discussion board for black rooks - and always open to all black rooks - no one that is a black rook should be banned from such a titled group...

I know many people are confused, but I also know that messages are being sent to keep people informed on the change itself

gogul: Hmmm... a well thought out resonse.... the perfect answer....

You really cannot honestly answer any of it though? Do you think it better that an FS like this is under Fencer's control or not? Obviously you were upset when you offerred it away to anyone, and then we try and come up with a solution and you are still not happy?

Are you that power hungry that you have to be the sole decider of which black rooks qualify to be part of a black rook club?

Do you think it really was a bad idea to give control over to Fencer like any other "special" public board? Just answer those questions?

gogul: but does this not at least resolve the question of a BB issue? shouldn't you be happy with a peaceful solution where all the black rooks can still come and not fear being kicked out?

At least the real BB for this is nsurely not someone you disagree with - nor hold a grudge against... After all - it did seem the best solution to prevent anyone abusing any power over an FS that really should be always open to all black rooks regardless of personal indifferences.... Surely you cannot disagree with that?

Is there no solution aside from total control and power that would satisfy you at all?

Subject: Now....
I guess we still need someone to make sure that all black rooks know about this page, and that all new black rooks are equally invited and told about it....

Of course that would mean a glad hander of sorts to welcome people and such...

Also - though this is lifetime, there is a chance that someone may leave - if a person does leave or hands over his membership, we need to decide how something like this gets handled...
