The meeting seems to have been cancelled. Whenever it happens, my suggestion would be anyone who wants the forum to be revived should weigh in -- in person if possible. You can also email the board at board@atwatervillage.org and/or leave a comment on the AVNC Hotline at 323-634-AVNC. I haven't been on the board for over a year so don't know what else they'd suggest, but in the past that's what I would have suggested (and hopefully still a good idea).katiesmurphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12902632003229068272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24103652.post-54649558969399432842007-09-23T15:04:00.000-07:002007-09-23T15:04:00.000-07:00I am REALLY sad about the forums being taken down....I am REALLY sad about the forums being taken down. Is there NO hope that we can simply remove the harsh words and continue the other extremely useful forums? <BR/><BR/>May I simply say that those forums have made living in Atwater even more gratifying, not simply because I can find out about a new business opening up, or bash starbucks, but I can post and read about local events (not just elections) and let other know about crimes in the area. <BR/><BR/>Such a shame. Who do I have to beg to bring this forum back?Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16470748571122942679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24103652.post-80182673433635771082007-09-23T09:14:00.000-07:002007-09-23T09:14:00.000-07:00Thanks for the mention Katie. avenquirer, here is ...Thanks for the mention Katie. <BR/><BR/>avenquirer, here is the stated Online Forum policy:<BR/><BR/>"Forum Policy: You must be logged in as a member to post comments on the forum.

We specifically included a provision -- that has been posted at the bottom of the page since the beginning -- that informed people that inappropriate comments would be deleted.<BR/><BR/>My only guess of what happened is that someone unfamiliar with that AVNC procedure (that would have solved the problem) must have complained to the election person, who also must not have known.<BR/><BR/>It's a real shame that the useful forums - the entire thing -- was shut down unnecessarily. I read what the Enquirer wrote and think it definitely should have been deleted, but that's what should have happened instead of shutting it down.katiesmurphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12902632003229068272noreply@blogger.com
