**** FORUM REORG IN PROGRESS - Please excuse the dust ****

As the first part of our reorganization, we are moving around the message forums now. Please excuse the confusion.

Re: **** FORUM REORG IN PROGRESS - Please excuse the dust **

As part of our reorg, we are moving the member forums to the top as our members are the reason we are here. Then the professional forums will follow, along with the general discussion forums at the bottom.
Once the dust has settled from moving the forums, we will be locking out all forums under the 'member' sections from the general public, with access to those granted on an individual basis. The process for granting access is still being developed.

Additionally, we have instructed the moderators to start cracking down on all namecalling and personal attacks in threads. In short, if you can't make a point without flames or attacks, your post will probably be either edited or deleted and you will receive a warning. If you continue this behavior after receiving a warning, your account and logged IP address will be banned. This rule applies to both, OLGA members and non-members.

We understand the emotional nature of our mission and that tempers can flare. If you feel that you must post something in anger or make a personal attack, we ask that you wait a day and rethink your post before posting. Otherwise your post may be edited or deleted and your account may be benned.

To those who are quick to post out of anger or emotion, I strongly recommend, that from this point forth, you consider how your words will be received before you put them to 'paper.'

As always, Liz and I and the rest of the moderators are available via email for any questions or concerns about our new format and stricter policies.

Thank you for your patience during this transition.

Re: **** FORUM REORG IN PROGRESS - Please excuse the dust **

Now that the forum reorgs are done, at some point this week, we will be restricting access to those forums marked as (Private Forums.)
Before the Private Forums are locked out, however, we will provide a post in the General Discussions forum, with instructions on how to request access.

Access to each forum will be granted specifically to one's EZBoard ID, instead of using passwords, since passwords are a pain to administer and every password change means emails from 50% of the people who say they didn't get them.

Following the 'closing of the doors,' all of the OLGA mods and admins will start focusing more on the member sections and less on the public ones, as it should be. We have a lot of work to do and it's time to get this baby rolling.

The Forum Reorg is complete.
We have listed the public forums first, followed by the private member forums and the administrative forums. I think this order is the most logical and won't require our members to have to look all around for the member forums.

Again, thanks for your patience while we've moved everything all around a few times.
