Do you want to leave or stay?

AmyG and Admin is there a limit to the number of Admins and Mods a site can have?

I'm drafting up a proposal for next steps that I'll post today or tomorrow so we can sort out the goals of the next week.

I haven't had time to read everything yet cause it has been too much. I just got home so I am catching up.

I don't want a one person anything. AmyG has been helping with the set up of boards last night cause all I had was the landing and she has that experience before.

I have enchanted as a person from IF community. I want someone who can help with loss people's needs.

I had you in mind as well as pineapplesoranges if she was interested.

I am not trying to be in charge of anyone. I just wanted a place where we could go in case shit went black, etc. I really thought SM would be a place. I didn't think a day later it would be like this. Anyway, if people don't come or don't stay no hard feelings.

I will probably keep this place for a while anyway for a safe place until we make a decision.

Thannks Admin. I think everyone's just scrambling and we need to be a little thoughtful about this so we know a good team is running the board and no hurt feelings in the future.

I think most people just are decompressing and bullshitting on Sterling's board. But people are there asking for pw protected things already. It doesn't benefit anyone to have two competing boards trying to cater to requests. So I want to post my propsal that we keep on board running, no requests, just post, while we build a second board with a team. aka, this board.

[Admin]

I also would rather not discuss specifics about this board on TCF. I don't trust things over there. There is also no need to make proposals over there in my opinion and am not trying to bed anyone to go anywhere.

[brux]

lol, thanks @blanche

[snowyowl]

Sterling, Brux, and McBenny have a chat to agree on a location, then tell people where everyone should go, post it on TCF, Sterling's board, and here. Problem solved, no feelings hurt.

(Apologies, just a lurker, I don't really have a vote, but I don't think Brux, McBenny, and Sterling would have that difficult a time reaching a consensus and people will trust them and follow).

I won't propose anything. I was trying to suggest a way to help bridge this two-places gap. I think what's going to happen is two sites get built and then a lot of hurt feelings, when it isn't personal, just trying to herd 1,000 cats who all have 1,000 opinions and no one knows what's going on.

I am open to any proposals you might have. I just don't want to be on TCF talking specifics. THat was all I was suggesting. I mean I don't have an issue turning this place over and even deleting it if need be.

I just didn't want anyone to get left behind and left out. That was all.

I think if sterling is out of town but she made a politics only board
and it's now got lots of people wanting more stuff than that.

She'll have to decide if that's what she wants to do.

She can talk to mcbenny and they can figure out which board to push and which to delete or whatever works out.

I haven't found a way to combine boards, or to upload your posts from some other board even though you can download and save your posts on like tcf. that would be a great feature.

I think we should just wait and see. I don't want to attempt to speak for sterling or anyone else.

[Admin]

Bottomline, even if everyone chooses to go elsewhere. I will probably keep this place up for a while for the dust to settle and see how shit goes. I just don't want people to lose one another that is all, be left behind or left out.

Am I being petty?

You're being batcalled over there. 

They're talking about making you a Feeney-call Gif.

Are you making fun of me because I didn't know the languages in Moana were real?

[boozeplease]

I'm here too. Thank you Admin and AmyG. Hopefully the dust will settle soon and everyone is still together.

I'm here and this is where I'm staying for now. I don't have an account at any other new forums that have popped up. I missed everything that went down today so I don't know what's going on or where anyone else is. Someone messaged me off board that Mcbenny made a forum so here I am. I'm cool with Mcbenny being the Admin.

[Sparkly]

Okay, but can we leave Cnon behind?

Kidding. Sort of. Thanks for setting this up Admin and AmyG.

[zoeylucy]

Goodnight ❤️❤️. I have got to get some sleep.

[aliadele]

I like it here. It feels familiar. I changed my name but I wasn't a regular or anything. I'm not making anymore accounts for the time being. Thank you for setting this up.

No, I think you should. We need a soft place to land. Someone's got to figure this shit out. 

I am just talking about the discussion of specifics over there. I don't trust it.

[squeakyduck]

Someone should go spam the side boards because everyone is fracturing. Special needs and working moms made their own and that's all I checked so far.

Hey girl. I didn't do anything intentionally. I haven't been online all day, I rarely am on the weekends. I want to figure this out. 

[Kida]

I'm here after a small pity party of one that rvasc and kellykapow talked me out of. Thanks guys 💗

Also I like it here. It feels a lot comfier than all the others so far.

[Kida]

Also I really love the colors. Like alot.👍👍👌

[Cher]

I'm here. And there. I'm not married to anything. I just want to plan our next decision strategically.

no, I just love how McBenny/Admin doesn't want anyone to be left behind. Totally reminded me of Lilo & stitch.

I'm here, politics and SM. I will not be using the SM, obvs. I just want to be able to continue my lurking/occasional posting.

First of all. Thank you McBenny. Admin
This is definately my vote for permanent residence.

I also didn't know this existed until a couple hours ago. We are all trying to find each other.

Has anyone heard from HE? I haven't seen her over there either.

McBenny,

I don't think there was a formal invitation process, I just followed the links that got posted.

I don't know where I fit in the tcf heirarchy, reg, semi-reg, lurkerish, but I didn't feel like there was any intentional exclusion of anyone.

I don't know if that helps, but i really hope we all end up in the same place.

+1 to this.

No one was intentionally left out. To be honest, this entire thing has been a giant clusterfuck with links flying all over the place. And I am sure the link to sterling's was easily missed by some amidst the chaos.
