With the new hosting system what will the process be for A&A?

Group hosts have basically been told to fend for themselves. The host forum will no longer be available to group hosts.

While understandable, as this change will reduce the ridiculous meta bullshit in the hosts forum, it does mean that discussions there about what to do here will no longer happen. Just about the only events here are the occasional banning of disruptors. What process will the hosts use here to make decisions?

We discuss things via e-mail already. Considering some of the shit flinging monkeys that post in there (host forum), always better to keep our discussions to just us.

Small enough group for email exchanges and an odd number for a clear consensus. What you already have going sounds simple and effective. As the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Awww, that's cute. They go appealing to a higher authority. Which sounds a lot like prayer. And from the results, it seems to be about as effective as prayer too.

I know we've had several people mosey into A/A with suggestions on how to make it better. Pretty sure every one of those helpful people have been banned so far, and rightly so.

Historically analogizing, they seem to keep mistaking us for Neville Chamberlain. When they're really dealing with S-T-A-L-I-N!11 (Sorry, couldn't resist. The old atheism=communism canard still makes me laugh.)

Seriously, with the crappy DU mail system and the outrage patrol on high alert in the Host forum, we had to look elsewhere for a communication solution.

even though the trend on DU3 from the top is to not keep transparency trends.
