It looks like PUT may be merging with PUX. There has been some discussion on Dino's announcement thread regarding moderators for the new boards. Most of you know that I am the official moderator for our group but haven't been on the boards so much lately. I would be happy to remain as moderator for our group, but I understand if you would like someone who is on the boards more frequently than I am. My only comment, though, is that whoever the moderator ends up being, that person should have the ability to be diplomatic, foster resolution, and respect feelings and things shared in confidence. Even though we are a wonderful camping group, we get on each other's nerves like any "family" does once in awhile and some major disputes can occur. (I speak from experience here.) It also means that you sometimes have to put your moderator hat on, bite your tongue, and not post what you'd really like to say in reply to a post-- :compumad: --perhaps the hardest part of all!! ;)
I throw the discussion open for the group and encourage you to speak freely--really truly--my feelings won't be hurt if you'd rather have a different moderator. :)
I vote for Dieter as moderator
Lori has done such a great job for such a long time, it doesn't seem prudent to change anything, as long as Lori is happy to do it.
I, for one, would feel honored if Lori would keep the helm especially with her work load. I just didn't feel comfortable volunteering her, knowing how busy she is.

That's pretty selfish..........you just want your wife back........:sombraro:
Lori you have our vote but only if "YOU" really want to keep that heavy hat on.......Maybe there could be a vote if someone else wants to give it a try....?
From what I've seen in the short time I've been a member, I think our 'family' gets along better than most I've observed. I think we're a great group!! With that in mind, I'll go along with whatever the group decides. I agree, it's up to Lori whether or not she keeps wearing that hat. I just don't want to lose contact with the group, so it's important to me that it remains accessable.
I vote with the majority :p
Maybe it's a good thing that you're not on so often, Lori. That way you stay more objective when the necessity arises.
I'd really appreciate it if you'd continue being the moderator. Your diplomacy has really done a lot to keep this group cohesive and dynamic.

As much as we love Lori and all she does and has done for the sccampers group. I think this would be a good time to get some new blood in as a moderator. Lori seems to be swapped at work and I am sure she could use some responsibilities taken off her ;)
Now if we only knew someone who lives in Beverly hills and has a lot of time on there hands :p

Not a chance.....too much drama for this old man.....
I agree with Wayne, but not for the same reason he states. How can we expect one who "stirs" the pot be responsible for turning off the heat ? ;):)
(no offense Wayne) :)
Looks like Dno put me as one of the moderators for now, with Lori, which I don't mind cause I don't think there is too much drama around here.
Now my next question is should "we" us our contact list and email the members of SCCampers to let them know of the forum change??? many aren't on the boards very often...

It's not that there's a lot of drama--but when we do have some, it can be a doozy!! Also, you don't hear much about what little drama we do have because it's often resolved off the boards.
In any event, your idea is a good one, Dieter, but I'm not sure how up-to-date the list is. Dee--you're the list keeper--how up to date is the contact list? If the answer is "not very," then another option is to send an email to everyone through these boards before they are closed. I would imagine most people's email addresses are up to date here.

So Lori, you can handle all the drama, and I will just do all the sticky's!! :)
can't you only send three or four names at a time. That might take a while!
You can take the camper out of the SCCamper but you can't take a SCCamper out of the camper. We have been gone for 6 years but still enjoy this amazing group of people. Lori has done such a great job as "Boss" if she is up for the task that is great but I do think she needs a "side-kick". I think Dieter would do a good job (bad spelling and all:p)

Good luck you 2, if you need any help just let me know. :compumad:

No offense taken.....that's why I wouldn't be interested.....I have too much fun being me....:sombraro:
If I were a moderator, I'd have to behave myself.....heh!!.....YA!!!.......like that's gonna happen....;) When pigs fly....:p
Besides......now I can really pick on Dieter....:Z.....HMMMM!!! except Lori would spank me.......again......:morning:

Sounds good to me Dieter! I'm happy to be co-moderator with you.
Quotecan't you only send three or four names at a time. That might take a while!
Hmmm, not sure...never tried it. Guess we'll have to wait to see what Dee says about the list.

Brad, I appreciate your comments (except perhaps the last sentence ;)) and hope that Dieter also being a moderator will address any concerns you might have. :) I will also make a concerted effort to check in more often as well. You guys are good for me. :sombraro:
Quote from: dkutz;217689Man already a Post I have to erase!! This is gonna be hard!!
Just testin' ya....;)
my $.02 worth..I too am a moderator, but I have only taken the role of adding stickies etc..basically thread clean-up. When things really needed a moderator I'm sure Dave has let her know or I have contacted her regarding a matter that needs attention..with that being said, I still think the board is in need of someone who can be very diplomatic and unbias as Lori has always been when she's had to put on her "hat". so I vote for Lori to keep this position but for the everyday thread organizing, reminding not to stir the pot too much etc can go to another person that has the time and is on the board regularly..
contact list not so up to date..I have a few to add in my PM box..I think last update was 2008..
realizing all data may be lost..I did a quick copy & paste of all the additions (5) that need to be made...so I have them saved

I have a copy of the contact list saved from the last time you sent it out if you want me to forward that to you.
Quote from: griffsmom;217695I have a copy of the contact list saved from the last time you sent it out if you want me to forward that to you.
Thanks I have the last one I sent out somewhere on on a back up. this is a newer computer as the old one crashed so it's not on the hard. but some have PM'd me to add them and they were just sitting in my Pm box waiting for me to update the list again. so If you can send that would be great save me some time...
well since it looks like we're not camping until October I guess I should be getting my act together and update it

So does all this mean we will have to go to pux to find SCCampers? If so when will this happen?
I have all the "Blackmail" posts saved.......:p
I'll bet some people thought all that stuff would be gone forever.......no-way...:sombraro:
Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, I'm late to the party... so is //www.arveeclub.com site going away totally and being merged with PUX? Where will this group move to? PUX?
I get lots of good ideas from this group so I'd like to still follow it ;)
Thanks :)

i believe we all behave relatively well knowing that Lori can swoop down and set whoever needs setting straight, straight at any time.
If Lori is willing, I give her my vote and my thanks for being The Enforcer.
Dee and Dieter- or whoever ends up moderating gets my thanks too. It's a thankless job; been there, done that, but someone's got to do it.

PS
Gimpy goes to doctor tomorrow to see if he gets off crutches. I'm ready- I'm so sick of crutches, but I don't think I'm going to dance out of the doctor's office either. I'll stick to walking.

Still on crutches!!! Yikes!!!! :yikes: Youpoor thing! Hope you get good news tomorrow. And I think it's okay to dance out of the doctor's office, as long as it's not on top of a skimboard ;)
1. This is all very confusing for me. It took me literally years to get on POT, and I still don't know how to do most things like add a picture or write in color etc... Now I have too learn something new? argh! Will there be a class or lessons for us computer challenged?
2. As far as moderator I like Lori (she tolerates me) and Dieter sounds good, with the experience of teaching he should be able to handle us. It seems this has already been decided but I want to feel important today so I,m voting anyway.
3. I do have one request however. Some families, like ours, only have one acount and I never know who's posting ie, is it Brad or Mary. It can be confusing when your not sure who your talking with. That is why I always sign my name at the bottom (also I don't want people thinking badly about Heather because of my dumb post!). Is it rude of me to ask for this info? If it's not then please let us know who you are when you post, if it is then please disregard this entire request.
Thanks, Bryan

We all hate change, but honestly since the board was switched last summer, I have spent more and more time on PUX anyway. You'll get it I am sure.
I know that a few family's have a main screen name for the one that is usually on, and then a MR or MRS screen name with the same handle I think oreo57 has this.... I don't htink its rude to ask if you don't know who posted it. If my wife posts she usually signs the post with her name...
Yes, signatures or screen names are very helpful, then you know who to blame or give accolades to.
JMTC......... :U
read your post it took you years to get on pot?.....I think that is really funny!
I would edit that one if I was you.

Oh Don't worry Bryan, you will know when I write, I sign my name, I won't take responsibility for what my wonderful husband writes...
Mary
When I post it always me...( carol ) Jim doesn't get on the computer much at all and if he does it'll say Mr.cjpoppin
I must have been under the cabbage leaf because I didn't switch to pux until last night.......so only have five posts over there......urrrrrr
If ain't broke, don't fix it. I say, Lori you stay right there. Dieter and Dee can help out as needed. And just somebody please tell me where I'm supposed to sign in when this board moves or whatever...I'm NOT well versed on all this computer stuff. :compumad:
Thanks,
Malena
