Message Board Reinstated at Windsor Website, 2009-06

2009, June 5 - 2:00pm — Dave Allen Barker Jr

[Update 2009-09: The Windsor message board is no longer an open forum (see comment, "I Spoke Too Soon".]

As part of a website update, the "official" Windsor website has reinstated (2009-06) the private (for logged in users only) message board that was removed almost two years ago. Kudo's to the new Board (2009) (and especially Candice Bullard?) for encouraging communication within our community.

This website (Neighbors @ 620 Peachtree) was originally founded to explore possible website options for the Windsor that at the time did not have a web presence. Since then I have tried to make it a complimentary resource for the Windsor community (a "Windsor Website for Us"). Although the Windsor website has brought a forum back (hooray!), I still think this website still has its advantages.

"Troublesome" opinions are not censored (contrast to the Windsor Message Board Policy (the Board can delete any content at its sole discretion)

Discussion can be public or private (when tagged "sensitive") (the windsor message board is currently only private)

Files can be uploaded and shared

Some other advantages

I Spoke Too Soon

It's seems my accolades were premature.

Users logged into the Windsor website can no longer (2009-07) contribute directly to its message board. Messages must now be submitted to the board, and upon their approval, will be posted to the message board.

I noticed after checking for responses to a post I made there about how excited I was to have the functionality back. Perhaps my reference in that post about their past behavior prompted their new restrictive posting policy.

That action just emphasizes to me the importance of this website (Neighbors @ 620 Peachtree). Although its seems I'm mostly just talking to myself here (! :)), I'm going to keep it going for now, just in case my neighbors recognize a need.
