It's been a while since I've been on proboards. Marti and I were co-administrators for a writing group for probably ten years. We did it during our early years when we felt a need to share work and get critiqued. It sort of died off when we began to be published. Our needs changed and we weren't getting what we needed from the forum members. Nobody was commenting and its hard to keep a site alive and active if the majority of the people don't participate. It dwindled down to me talking to myself.
But I think the format of these boards will work. In fact, I'm wondering if they would work for a new family page. I'll have to think about that. The last time I tried to get the family page back up and running nobody came.
Anyway, we have the Roth Writers website and we might find a use for it. The domain name is ours for the next 5 years. Who knows what we'll do with it. I'm thinking we might need a few more participants. I was thinking about Bill and maybe Jody. Bill is a good idea man. and Jody is a writer. Mostly poetry but she might get inspired. I know I'm going to need her, and Penny, and Cory, when I start Kay's book. This might be a good gathering place when that project begins to be pulled together.

I think this site should work well for what we talked about doing. I'm sure we'll think of something for the website.
And I agree, it looks like it could be a good forum for the family page. I miss that. I know I didn't post much, but I read often and enjoyed keeping up with what others had going on.

I sent out a few invitations to Bill, Penny, Jody, and Nyla. We need a few more people in here and I want to see if I have the privacy setting done right. You came right in. I changed the setting so it should require an okay before they get in. I'm a little concerned about the 'guests' were seeing on here. It was a problem I had with the old proboard sites. I suspect they are either 'bots' trolling the site or proboard staff making sure we don't abuse the guidelines. I wish I knew for sure.

It would be great to get several others on here! I hope we don't have trouble with phishing, but I'm sure it's possible

I didn't on the other proboards I ran. I really think its bots. If we wanted to be seen we'd be happy to have them cataloging key words and SEO stuff. I did change the setting so it requires approval to get in. That's why I want somebody else to try getting in. To see if the setting stops them from seeing anything until I approve the request. I didn't have that in place when you came in.
