I like creative speculation and back on DU2 I was afraid to step my toe into the dungeon.

One time was enough for me. It felt like no discussion was allowed. It felt as though some individual posters were successful in shutting down the conversation. I mean no disrespect, but it was almost like a closed group to the rest of us who were over powered by stronger personalities. I never alerted, I just never went back, so I hold some responsibility there too.

This is a new start. The way DU3 is set up groups will hopefully see more people participating. That is a good thing. No group should be owned by a few with domineering personalities. Any DUer should feel welcome in any forum or group on this board.

A group of hosts working in good faith for all can help mold the group into a welcoming place for all well intended DUers.

Besides, I think there are bound to be a few incidents when there will be a need for blocking.

Thanks for listening, LS

Does this group need a permanent host? [View all] Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 OP

If we cannot decide on a permanent host, we'll need to ask an admin to unsticky the threads on top Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #1

Not in my opinion. nt Old and In the Way Dec 2011 #2

I think there are functions that only Hosts can do that are beneficial. Make7 Dec 2011 #3

Hi, I'm here. eomer Dec 2011 #11

Well, it still remains to be seen how the conversations develop here. Make7 Dec 2011 #26

I could see Grateful for Hope as a permanent host. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #4

Hi Bolo Grateful for Hope Dec 2011 #12

I think you both would make good hosts maddezmom Dec 2011 #13

Of course if either Lithos or undergroundrailroad (or both) were to put their hats into the ring Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #5

that sounds like a great idea maddezmom Dec 2011 #22

I think it's too early to be certain. greyl Dec 2011 #6

Oh, definitely. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #9

I think this group needs a few hosts maddezmom Dec 2011 #7

Yeah, when/if the time comes, at least 6 would be nice. nt greyl Dec 2011 #8

Agree with multiple hosts canetoad Dec 2011 #15

Yes. And I nominate you..nt SidDithers Dec 2011 #10

Yes, there should be hosts for this group Lithos Dec 2011 #14

I think this is the consensus. Anyone who feels otherwise, please speak up. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #16

My two cents... I suggest Bolo and Spooked Ohio Joe Dec 2011 #17

I'd be worried about assigning someone whose DU2 posts frequently clearly violated DU3's TOS. nt greyl Dec 2011 #20

Come on... Bolo was never that bad... Ohio Joe Dec 2011 #25

Probably not a good idea. canoeist52 Dec 2011 #18

If a group has no host, a thread CAN be alerted on. dixiegrrrrl Dec 2011 #19

Adding DUer known as noise to the "ballot". nt greyl Dec 2011 #21

If ever a group needed hosts this group would be my pick because.. Little Star Dec 2011 #23

I nominate you Bolo. Little Star Dec 2011 #24
