Not sure why I get that message when I try to get on.
Have we been migrated over yet? Thanks -Linda B.

Hey Linda! I think that Christy is holding off on any
official move of the FiFi's until she's sure that the
forum really provides the desired privacy.

I've suggested that she draft a couple Feefs (one who'll
be a member of the FiFi group, and another who won't
be) so that the forum can be tested out. So.... maybe
send her a PM ('personal message' : forum-lingo) and
see if this is underway.

can someone else be the moderator

Any chance another FIFI can be the moderator? I'm not that great at checking me email all the time.

Yup, you can have multiple moderators, just let
me know who you'd like it to be...

What jobs a moderator has depends on the nature of the forum.

For 'open' forums like HG/PG/Marketplace/etc
moderators basically just keep an eye on things,
to make sure that people are posting relevant content.

If they find a post/topic that doesn't belong, they can
move it to a more relevant forum.

If they have a topic that's important for everyone
to read, they can post it as an "Announcement" or
as a "Sticky" topic.

If a user is abusing the forum, they can ban that user.

For 'closed' forums like FiFi, moderators have to add a
forum user to the FiFi group before that user can participate.

Does this help?
