Boards being re-arranged - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

brian · 10-12-06, 11:59 PM

At present I've managed to get the Tech Tronix boards merged into this forum, and am currently reorganising them.

I appreciate *some* of the content can't be made public, so I'm currently sorting through *that* to make sure that it *does* remain private.

Currently just setting up public areas for satellite, cable, GSM and computing topics etc up into a new board structure.

Got to admit, I never knew about the VIP sections or any of activity involved on the private boards before the sale. However, I'm keen to ensure that everyone's privacy is protected and nothing...untoward...gets published on the public boards. I'm keen to ensure everyone's confidentiality is protected.

Once I've moved the topics that can be made public into a new boards structure, I'll start work on the member groups proper.

I appreciate that TT staff and VIPs etc probably feel a little awkward and put out at present, but I'm keen to ensure that you can feel relatively at home and safe here - though will probably not encourage some of the previous activity for obvious reasons.

Anyway, it's getting late but I'm going to keep setting up the forums a bit longer, and if anyone has any questions, you're really welcome to ask.

just make sure the staff section doesnt accidently come out into the open forum, the vip section was full off ..............well, lets not go there for now

Yeah, am having to go through a lot of threads on the boards to make sure it's safe for public viewing.

Safe for the members, more than the public.

Just merge the stuff of value and destroy the rest........destroy the lot if you want, I don't know how the others feel??

the insaan · 11-12-06, 12:44 AM

yeah, i'm ll for that, destroy the unsafe stuff and make a fresh back-up with all the safe stuff in it

brian · 11-12-06, 12:48 AM

Luckily it doesn't look like there's much to get rid of - some VIP stuff and keys - there's already a private staff area for some of the other.

Getting late so I'm going to have to finish off in the morning, but hopefully there's a lot back already.

Anyone wants to raise anything by PM, feel free to do so.

I suppose it depends how comfortable you are with some of the Cable and Satellite stuff that was sometimes in VIP and sometimes in open forums.
