ATTENTION ALL CITIZENS! Registrations on the New Wittenberg have just opened. This is the first step to "abandoning ship" from this ProBoards set-up which has served us well for 14 (!!!) years. That's like a billion years in Talossan time. At some stage when the New Witt Admin lets us know that a certain mass of citizens have registered on New Witt, the Government will officially decree a "switch". At a set time after this announcement the Government will (a) begin to conduct all official business on New Witt; (b) ask the Chancery to disable posting on Old Witt, leaving it a permanent archive to Talossan history. Questions? Comments?

ask the Chancery to disable posting on Old Witt, leaving it a permanent archive to Talossan history. Please do not do this. There is no problem in leaving Old Witt as another privately owned (by the King) message board.

Every day that passes is a day ProBoards could begin holding our data for ransom or pulling the plug on things entirely.

Audrada Rôibeardét and Eðo Grischun, I think you can freely post now that I have approved your accounts. Yeah, by the way, I have set the thing to require admin approval, but I don't know if it's really necessary. I'll turn approval off for now.

With regards, to voting, a witt account essentially counts as proof of your identity in the current system... Something to keep in mind here.

True, although even with admin approval, I don't really have a way to know for sure if the account belongs to the right person (except by checking the email address, which is not foolproof). Maybe Old-Witt admins can work with me to check if IP addresses match.

I've looked all over the page, can't see any way to post a thread or reply within a thread. An option must be switched off somewhere.

If that's what the law says, yes. The Chancery will be responsible for managing the "front-end" of this board as of the official Witt Switch, which will include setting standards for moderation.

There is no problem in leaving Old Witt as another privately owned (by the King) message board. Don't you remember AD going on and on in the Telecomuna debates about how it would be criminal, given our low levels of activity, to split Talossan activity between two discussion forums? He proved to be right, and I think he's still right. The King owns Old Witt and the SoS administers it, and I have no power to tell them what to do, but this is what I strongly recommend they do.

We can at least lock the Ziu and Courts & other "official" boards though, right? While it is not in the Government's power to require Old Witt to be shut down, El Lexhátx J makes it clear that there is only one forum which is "Official Witt" and will be used for Government business. That will change from Old Witt to New Witt one day in the future, and nothing posted on Old Witt after that will be official. Again, it would be up to the King and the SoS to formally click the "Disable Posting" button.
