I propose we create a new private board that Pride and TTB members can both access but are restricted to the public. This will make info sharing much easier as right now anything we want to share also has to be made common knowledge. And the only private boards are ones that are restricted to keep the other faction out, this makes information flow slightly inefficient
What are people's opinions about this?

That was the original plan, I can't remember exactly why it wasn't an option, but there's really nothing we have to hide. or do we? We each have our own private areas, and I don't know how many Boards we want, too much can throw new people off and won't "search" for stuff. MAY-be we can redo the private areas into one? Secret Zion Mainframe Code of Silence (TTB) Lions Den (Pride) Alliance Router (both) We'll have to ask Skyscream

I think that there should be only one private section and it should be for both factions not one for each faction, if we are truely allied there should be no secrets. besdies there is always the mail and PM fucntion for real private communications between people. IMHO, blah, blah, blah. T

I agree with all three of you in different ways.
Yes, we want some post/read areas that requires one to sign-in. Guests can have some content, but I'm happier if Guests sign-in to get the meat of the content.
Yes, to Telemancer that any uber-alliance like The Pride & The True Believers ought to be common to each other to read/post -- access idential is pretty cool as now.
I posted my email address if anyone that's affilitated in game wants to coorespond. I dare think that some weird-o stumbling on this board starts e-mail me about all the sex stuff (o.o.) or pishing attempts contacts me... where they were a guest login to read faction related content. In the meantime I'll mod that post & ask Pylat in game/his email if you want my e-mail address. ... and no one took me up to e-mail me anyway...
ya know, ya get older & wiser about levels of trust.
Speaking of which, I'll trust Pylat & Catzi & SkyScream make the right call on future board mods.

I think that there should be only one private section ... I couldn't agree any more on this. Shared pvt forums shared by both factions is the way to go for me. Plus Avery brought up a great point. Not everyone wants their email shared to the public, but wish to recieve emails from us. I guess the PM is a good option. As for myself, I don't mind sharing my email

About the Private Areas: Okay. There are some things that I, and others, like to post in our private area for TTB. Things we don't want other people reading EXCEPT members of TTB and those trusted with moderator positions (who shouldn't be saying anything about what is in the private areas). I understand that this seems a bit stand-offish but I like having a place where I can post things that are specific to TTB without worrying about every tom, dick, and harriet from an alliance group reading them and passing on information to others that is private to TTB alone. This is also why I created a private area for The Pride as well so you have a place to discuss things in private if you wish.
TTB has been around for two years and we've always had a place to discuss things in private IF WE WISH. That isn't going to change. What if we wanted to plan something for like... a surprise Pride Appreciation party? How would we do that with nowhere to discuss it in private? Plus we still have a 'secret' or two from long long ago that occasionally come up in regards to Morpheus, Trinity, and Neo that we went through a lot of trouble to keep quiet like we were asked to. To those of you who can 'see' that forum it may not seem like much is there but to some of TTB, namely me, it is very important we keep our word. Plus I like to have a spot where I and others can occasionally post some theories for TTB to ponder.
I already mentioned in another thread that I'll be making a combined private forum for Alliance members and I will be doing that today. Just been a bit busy with life and all.
E-Mail addresses: I don't send out mass e-mails and I have no plans for doing so. The PM system here is a good one. Plenty of categories to post things as well. The decision on whether or not your e-mail address is public is up to you. I don't share any information about anything on a profile. Period. If you want to make an e-mail list in the new shared private category that's cool. Again.. it's up to you.
So.. to recap...
E-mail: Up to you. I don't mass e-mail and if I were going to I could whether or not your e-mail is public. You are welcome to make a members e-mail list in the new alliance forum that is forthcoming for those that want to trade e-mails.
Private Forums: The TTB private area, nor the unused Pride area, will NOT be going anywhere. But to accomodate communication between the factions I will be adding a new private Alliance forum shortly.
If you have any questions or comments about what I've said feel free to PM me or leave your opinion here. It's all good.
Cheers!

The new alliance forum is up and running. If you are a member of the Staff, TTB, and/or The Pride and you cannot see it just above the community forums up top drop me a PM.

thanks sky, that was the best solution, a private forum for the alliance and leaving the existing areas as is. works for all. T
