Consultation Notification

DoublethinkDoublethink Admin, 8th Day Host
edited March 2024 in The Styx
Further to extensive discussions in Styx and further discussions with the crew, we would like to propose a change to the structure of the forums.

We have set up a consultation space on The 8th Day, which will be hosted by @Doublethink & @Alan Cresswell . The opening post there outlines the proposal and we invite the comments and suggestions of registered shipmates. The consultation will be open for seven days, we will then consider your comments and post a summary response after Easter - there will then be an opportunity for further comments before a final outcome is posted.

To be constructive and useful, and so that as many shipmates as possible feel able to contribute, it will be important that those participating do so in good faith with mutual respect; the space will be hosted on that basis.

    I'm confused at what this is all about despite also visiting the 8th day site. Do I have to do anything at all or may I just continue reacting to what people have posted on sites such as All Saints etc?

    You don’t have to do anything if you don’t wish to. But you can post on the thread in 8th Day, and say whether you think we should go ahead with merging Purgatory and Epiphanies or not. The other forums, such as All Saints, will continue as normal whether we do it or not.

    When will stage 2 of consultations begin?

    "We are grateful for everyone's contributions. This thread will close at 9pm UK time - about 4 hours from now.

    Then there will be a break whilst we read and consider everyone's points - then we will open another thread here with a response - I estimate that will be in about two weeks time, but there may be some flex in that because there is a lot to think about."

    We have delayed somewhat longer than planned owing to personal circumstances amongst the crew - I am hoping by the end of the month.

    Thanks for the update. I am at a conference next week so I probably will not miss it then.
  • DoublethinkDoublethink Admin, 8th Day Host
    Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will need to delay this another few weeks,
  • CaissaCaissa Shipmate
    Any thoughts being given to choose keeping the status quo?

    All options are being considered, but we’ll lay all that out in the response.

    Thanks.

    It's been a year since the 8th Day thread was closed. Is this just not happening?
  • DoublethinkDoublethink Admin, 8th Day Host
    I am sorry that we have not come out with a detailed response in this timeframe - unfortunately this has coincided with significant offline challenges for a number of us on the ship’s hosting team.

    It was clear that there is not the support within the SoF community for merging the two forums - for a variety of differing reasons. We will not be merging the forums.

    We are aware that it would be helpful to make a response to some of the issues raised - and we still hope to do this. We may combine this with discussion of the current functioning of Styx, as the original proposal was made to address issues that are raised recurrently on this forum.
