Re: Bill Ryan's Post on project Avalon chat
Just some random thoughts.
Why not see the bright side of what has happened the past couple of days? We have learned an awful lot. For one we all gathered in the chatroom & became 'familiar' with eachother. WE are Avalon! All of us. I think the most important fact that has surfaced is, that if we want to keep this forum online as it is, we should take precautions that the events that took place, can't happen again. Computers do not understand me, so don't ask me how, but there must be some people who do, at the forum. And let's quit the power & control game. Moderators & members stood side by side in the chatroom, which told me there was/is no power/control dispute among us. There are 2 kinds of members: those who feed the forum with content & those who mainly comment on that content. One without the other doesn't work. So no one is more - or less - important than the other. The 'forum-feeders' & moderators tend to cling together, because they invest precious time in PA, mainly to produce 'material' that has value for the development of all individual members & guests. The quality of the content is not measured by the number of hits (views) a topic scores overnight, but how threads develop in the long run. I've been working for 'commercial' tv, where everything is measured by ratings. Viewers + ad-bloc = $. So I've studied PA through my tv eyes. Which threads/topics score in which category. It's interesting to see that online members react mainly on the 'here & now' & guests tend to surf through the library, for instance. PA has become a database/library of knowledge. That is what the PTB would like to see disappeare/shut down. |
