FAIR splitting off their forum

Post by _Southern Redneck »

Just read at The Culture Hall, that FAIR is splitting off the FAIR board and changing it's name.

CHANGES COMING TO THE FAIR MESSAGE BOARD


As FAIR continues to grow and evolve, we make changes to better meet
our goals. A major change we will be making within the next week is to
divest ourselves of the FAIR Message Board, turning their operation
over to one of the current moderators
. The Message Board will continue
with a new name of Mormon Apologetic & Discussion Board, or MAAD. The
URL will be http://www.MormonApologetics.org.

FAIR was born from LDS individuals posting on Internet message boards,
so this is a big step for us. But we believe this change will remove
the confusion from people’s minds about whether or not FAIR endorses
the posts on the message boards, allow more freedom for the posters,
and allow FAIR to focus our resources. Message boards are a valuable
discussion medium, but the format does not universally appeal to
people who come to FAIR looking for answers. FAIR will, in turn,
devote our scarce resources to enhancing the FAIR wiki
(http://www.fairwiki.org) and providing more international articles.

At this point all decisions and management have been given over to
the new MAAD management team. In the very near future the old URL
for the message boards (http://www.fairboards.org) will be retired,
and the message boards will have a new look and feel. FAIR will
maintain a hands-off policy and does not endorse the actions nor the
posts on this new message board. Those who currently post on the FAIR
message boards won’t need to do anything differently, other than
create a bookmark on their computer to the new URL. For a short time
we will continue to have a pointer from the FAIR Web site, but after
a reasonable amount of time has passed, we will be removing the link.

Given that I am one of those message board junkies, I’m sure that you
will still see me occasionally at the new message board. See ya
there!

Very interesting!

Though it wasn't hard to foresee Damn_G ruining the board - driving it into oblivion.

What an @ss.

If I hadn't seen this in the FAIR Journal newsletter that came today I would not have believed it.

Can the world get anymore upside down? If, as anticipated and prophesied, the GAs put the hammer down on FAIR (either overtly or covertly), that would serve to hoist some of their more illustrious posters with their own petards.

I thought the Mormon church wanted to get away from the term Mormon...

So should't the new site be called http://www.thechurchofjesuschristoflatt ... getics.org? and be abbreviated to: TCJCLDSAAD?

We would not want investigators going to a Mormon discussion site now would we?
