Hello ghosts, do you have a few minutes to chat? I’m your (un)friendly neighbourhood ghost, tinoesroho, and I’d like to chat about the current state and future of HMS.
Site Organization
The board is currently sysop’d by @LockeCJ who has stated he can indefinitely maintain server maintainence at its current usage rate. Discussions on funding options and incorporation have stalled (general consensus leans towards operation as a non-profit).
The admin committee currently consists of @waetherman, @LockeCJ, @messana , and @tinoesroho. The founding moderator team is @awfulhorrid, @ChickieD, and @CZAnne.
Development
Naming: @waetherman is running the name election, currently in its third round. You can find the voting thread here: Name This Site - ROUND 3 Voting Open
Theming: Theme development on hold until name voting concludes.
Community guidelines: The moderation team is working on a draft, though meetings have been difficult to arrange due to schedule conflicts.
Current Status
When items get flagged, they wind up in the staff mailbox. As we do not have a written policy, judgment calls and actions are left to staff discretion. As the wolf says, flagging helps.
The board is considered to be in soft-launch period. Invite worthy users. Start threads for your interests. After the naming and theming projects wrap up, a general announcement will be posted on the old homestead. Until then, it’s up to us as the community to set the tone and build the board we want to participate in.
Other
I’ve probably forgotten a few things in my scatterbrained state, but I think this covers it all.
Your (un)friendly neighbourhood ghost,
