DUJK Host...

[YvonneCa]

...Guys, someone here needs to apply for host for this group. I hope one of the members from MA will take this on..

1. Do we need a host or not?

Here is Skinner's post on the potential pluses and minuses:

My own opinion is that we might not need one, but I'll be interested to hear what everyone else thinks!

2. I don't think we need one

It's not like we argue a lot in here

5. Absolutely true,

and more importantly when we have it has been over issues and with respect for each other.

6. I was worried that an unknown host...

...would come in. That was before I read the info at the link. I agree with everyone that we do fine without one.

7. I worried about that too

Remembering a time when an outside moderator regularly locked any thread that we posted that included a link into the bigger forums. That pretty much ended years ago. The only reason we might want a host of record is that some of the powers might be useful if someone - not in the group - came in regularly to attack the Senator, but that hasn't happened for years.

3. Thank you for the link. I had not seen that and am...

...still trying to learn how this is supposed to work. I agree with you that we might not need one.

4. I agree that we likely won't need one here..

..assuming a 'host' here would be like a moderator on another forum. There has consistently been a general sense of accord here from what I can tell. But I would be happy to help in any way or capacity necessary or that would help make the transition as smooth as possible!

8. We are a democracy :-)

and self-regulate (and even better, we hardly ever need even the self-regulation).
