Good Morning, Earthchangers!
The purpose of this thread is to take a consensus as to what you members want from this site going forward. Changes? Ideas?
As an ‘Earthchanger’ , it seems to me that we are working on two fronts… the physical and the spiritual, not to be confused with the religious aspect. What started as Cheryl Nelson’s vision is now evolving into the next step of that journey.
I’ll start… I have been thinking of an upgrade which would bring more features to the site. Before that happens, there needs to be some more blocks put into place. For example, would anyone like to volunteer as a site moderator? Please private message me and let’s talk.
Ideally, I would like to have a total of five mods. This number would take some of the burden off of Kim B, who has been a godsend of knowledge and faithfulness in helping with this transition.
For newer members, our founder, Cheryl Nelson, passed away in December of 2021, of Covid-19, at which time the site was in limbo, the site monthly fees were not being paid, and it was unclear how this group would keep going. After much deliberation, and with a group consensus, I stepped up and brought the Ning debt up to date, and have been keeping the door open (the monthly fees which Ning zaps out of my account before it is even daylight on the first of each month). I did this even though I am a pensioner. Just to let you know I am not in any stretch…wealthy. Fact is…well, that’s too much information for now, and why I have had to ask for donations in order to keep the site open. To date, three members have stepped up to help with these fees. A big ‘thank you’ shoutout to all of them.
But, this site needs to continue. There is a wealth of information in here on any topic one could imagine, I loved Cheryl, and there you go… I guess you are stuck with me for awhile. Please add your thoughts, pro or con, or new sparks of ideas.
Thank you all for your participation, and support during this trying transitional time. God bless.

the "add discussion" button is on the THE WARNING group
See the new thread I created in the Forum.
Dianna there is no comment button for me to post on the main forum!
Criticism is the easiest time waster in the world. Action speaks as words are cheap. I wish you the best with the site, Dianna, and I really appreciate that you have put so much of your energy into keeping the site running. Hopefully, a computer savvy person will step up to the plate and assist with whatever needs to be done on the site rather than critical remarks about the way the site is at the moment.
I continue to check on the site from time to time between fights here in Ottawa. Today, I woud love to be in Arizona with buddies just chilling. We have sunshine here, and the bus driver left me behind as I was planning to go into town to a church service. .. He never stopped...
It seems my admin powers are gone... Guess the process of upgrade destroyed that. And my God what a mess. Ning.com needs to get their "stuff" together!
As I said, a work in progress. I know it's a mess. Unfortunately. I came down with something two days ago, and going to doctor in the AM. Sorry for any inconvenience.
No problem. And no inconvenience on your part at all. I get frustrated with the Ning from what they have put us through since the passing of Cheryl.
Thank you for your kind thoughts. However, this upgrade process is getting the best of me. You are welcome to post here as long as it is 1950's family friendly. ...I think you all know what that means, so I'll leave it right there.
We are not stuck with you. You have put an amazing amount of work into this site. Thank you. I did not love Cheryl... and I have been keeping my eyes on many sites. Thank goodness there are members on this site that have presented some of the material that I gathered for others. Really have posted very little on this site over the years. Most of the stuff has been posted through other members who reviewed the material before it was posted. I have never claimed to be computer savvy. It has cost me being kicked off of sites like zetatalk and earthchanges. The fun part is that I don't care any more when others decide I need to be fired... because I do not follow the rules that are put in place.
I want to congratulate you for having an open mind and inviting people to put their ideas forward. The spiritual posts are excellent. It is important to have some fun posts sprinkled in so that the folks can have a belly laugh. There are too many battles that I am fighting in Ottawa... would not be able to be a moderator or contribute to the site except through others from time to time. So, keep up the good work and share with others from around the globe.
Blessings!
