Hello everyone.
An announcement that if most of you notice there is no longer any access to a board, do not fret. It is hidden as I will be reconstructing into a different board, many of the other boards will be going through a reconstuction as well. I would like things to just look more tidy and straight-forward.
I hope this will not cause anyone panic - if you still wish to comment or vent, the Dear Universe is available and as always, it is off-access to Guests so no need to worry about prying eyes.
Please be patient with me while this forum undergoes some much-needed changes.
On the news of moderators, it seems we are doing quite well self-moderating so it has been put to the side for now. What a wondeful community of compassionate, supportive and level-headed folks we have here! I am proud of every single one of you, regardless if you balance between two sites or one more than the other. You are all loved and cherished. I consider you all very dear friends to me.
Kind regards,
Your Admin, Jacey

Edit: I have also created a Shoutbox - it appears at the bottom of every page. This will be run as a trial. Should I make it available for Guests to comment...?

Here are my thoughts - a shout box may be good and it may be bad. It may encourage those seeking knowledge or support but not yet ready to join, but it may also provide an easy access for real spam and trolls. You are doing a great job so happy to leave it your best judgement. Perhaps a trial may work.
Also like your call on mods - I don't think that they are currently needed and it would be nice to think, but it is probably unrealistic, that they will not be needed going forward. Perhaps you could choose a small group of folk which you could rotate on a quarterly basis, from those that volunteer to help you with the workload. But for the life of me I can't see how you can avoid implying a hierarchy or a cabal behind the scenes - even picking a name like advisors, family, mentors, moderators, staff etc all come loaded with a fair amount of baggage and association with forums that we have seen. Tricky stuff this!
This forest is so fresh and vibrant I think innovation, flexibility and willingness to change and adapt are the way to go. Folk are not shy and you are extremely gracious, generous and approachable so hope you keep on applying the magic sauce. Whatever it is, this forum is working and I am loving it.
Safe travels
Aisla

i don't like shoutboxes. they're death to my phone, and make it impossible to post from it. or just load a page. there's also no point if it's members only. would be ok though if it's on the front page only.
i will always prefer irc for instant messaging. it's so much neater, and can be used from a client for easy moderation.

I wish it would only be available on the front page. That it's on every single page even when you go to edit profile, it's jarring. I will look into getting irc created for this forum than a shoutbox. I just wanted to run it as a trial so it's good to know if it'll slow your phone down!

Kinda messes me up, the chat thingy, I prefer it without it, or with it isolated to an area so it can be accessed deliberately, like you would a section in forum.
way too distracting, but that me personally, and I need that phone to fly when I use it to jack in, need all the bandwidth or whatever that is that I can get.
Also, what you are doing is brilliant, and I agree with the group consciece here. So long as focus is always on helping others compassionately, to find their own truths as they understand them, this forum will fly on the wings of eagles. It self moderates on the shear thunder of shared vision and truth.
It very much supports the goals and visions of the forum and your needs, and since the vision is shared, the peer pressure of keeping things for the good of all trans is making it totally work, in nurturing and life saving power of compassion, experience, and stregth from the core and soul of who we are. Helping others to find their own way, to find out who they are themselves, nurture it, value it, strengthen it, and let them soar as the transgendered souls they were created to be, with the freedom to find this themselves without criticism. Powerful.
You my dear are truly a diamond of trans.
Blessings
Trinity

I have disabled the shoutbox. I updated the forum with a new theme but I have saved the original one in case the new one is too abrupt... thoughts?

My posts appear quite grey or muted whereas yours appear in black and are easier to read on my iPad Will this make it harder to read member posts on some devices eg mobiles?

That's what I'm unsure about, will have to see what people think - maybe I can see if I can make everyone's font's black...?

I think that this may be better but always best to hear what folk think. Btw I love the forum banner.
Need to sleep. Sweet dreams

I love the idea of self moderation. To me it kind of goes hand in hand with the whole overall theme here and pretty much what we stand for. Mutual respect for one another, respect for one onother's opinions and beliefs and a kinship with one another that exceeds normal forum friendships.
