Hi all,
I am involved with the development of new forum-based platform. Individual operators will manage their own semi-antonymous groups, largely determining their own membership guidelines, participation requirements, ban lists, etc. We are not yet ready to detail too much about the project, but I thought I'd gain the input of members here about what you would like to see from a platform with a single registration point and a multitude of groups. Although most functionality is baked in at this point, some tweaks are possible. And good ideas likely will be incorporated in Stage II development.
Please do not feel obligated to answer all these questions. Just number the ones where you feel you have a useful perspective or input.
Any input, even if not directly related to the above questions will be graciously accepted and appreciated.
Thank you,
Oh!
