Hi Board

these are sad days for WebsiteBaker.
I hoped you felt that community members are curious about your (not given) answers the open questions.
Do you really think you can wait things out?
I don't think so.
And the way you are dealing with this situation won't give you the respect you have been asking for.
The reverse is all you will get.

From my point of view you all disqualified as leaders of the project in this crisis situation that btw one of you had caused and could be prevented in an easy way even after it had happened.
But you decided to keep silent and hoped that things will be smooth again and you can go further on in the same way?
In this case you prove that you didn't even recognize that you (or one of you) made a mistake and you hoped with an anonymous apology things are done.
If yes please take the same consequences as you have to do on the political scene.
Do you really think this will motivate other community members to join the association and be an active member supporting this project?

Please think this over.

If you really feel the board should represent the forum/community maybe it's a good idea to let the forum nominate some candidates and let then elect the board by the association members.
This assures that board members really represent the community's wish.

WebsiteBaker will only have a future if all (less) power is bundeled (we all know this and it is stated in many threads on the forum).
I think there is no space for bad conflicts but the urgent need of factual argumentation and discussion (though I know there are conflicts where people want and have to work together).
But one job of board or team members is to moderate conflicts if they cannot be prevented.
And there are some successful proves, see developing of foldergallery.

And referring to the critics on the forum:
Maybe you should open a board where everyone (even anonymous) can write whatever s/he wants (like speaker's corner in Hyde Park) without fearing to be banned?
Or open something like a anonymous "complaining" board that assures, that every post there will be officially answered?
Or some other way where people will get answers to questions referring to WebsiteBaker (that are not support questions or similar)
If something like this exists it will prevent people from misuse support threads and moderators can advise users to post on this "complain mail box" in case they misuse support threads.
There would be (almost) no need to ban users and I am sure there will be many positive initials that can be squeezed out of factual critics.
During my time using (mostly reading) this forum I saw no one who didn't meant critics positive for the project though it sometimes was seen negative (unfortunately it depends on personal preferences of team members).

And now throw me in the "bad guys corner" and put me on the "black sheep" list.
But this is my personal point of view.

who won't get nominated board member  :wink:

i2Paq:
I don't know what happened as I cannot find the topic you all are revering to but one thing I noticed every-time I pay a visit to this forum:

Less people visit here and also activity have slowed down.
I'm sat to see a great project like this coming to this point.

BlackBird:
It's in the german part of the forum, and it's a bit - uhm - chunked now.

@i2Paq
the thread that was referred to is this one:
https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,19207.0.html
but I am not shure if parts of it had been deleted.

I'm not wondering that there is only less activity, do you?
Good to see that Blackbird is back again and real active.
One other had definetely left the community and the third seems to be not part of the forum any longer.

But the ones who caused this prefer to keep silent.   :-(

BlackBird:
I hardly thought about leaving, but I hate to let "them" win, so I stay here. :P (Though I have some problems using this forum now because of locked IPs, but that won't keep me out. It's the century of Anonymizing Proxies, isn't it?)
