Re-organization !!!!

Post by JohnRatzenberger »

Tom, and all .. I put all this out for everyone in case someone spots a glitch - let me know !!

This forum will be the general chat forum, as it already is.
I suggest that from the old site, you work up and post:
-- About as a sticky, locked or not as you wish
-- Rules/FAQ as a sticky, locked or not as you wish
-- Announcements (if any) as an announcement, locked or not, then convert to normal when announcement reason expires.

I will set up one sub-forum here, for CC SIG members only. You or I or both of us can go through your current SIG membership list and put each on the new CC-SIG group I have established - right now you are Leader & I'm your only member.

As I said before I'm not sure we need a CC Admin forum; you need to decide who you want along with you as HQ, CC SIG and we can make a forum visible/accessible to that smaller group only - your call.

Down in the Displays & Events Forum.

I suggest one CC-SIG only "planning" forum for the year's festivities, then one per pending shows to do whatever, then record the images, results, comments, then we'll make an archive sub-forum to tuck them all under.

I have set up the 2015 Display Planning Forum there, limited to SIG members, so we need to get that list sorted. I'll let you move messages from here to there as you see fit, or I'll help.

Down in the History & References Forum, I'll have sub-forums from the old site for:
-- Aircraft
-- Origins
-- Squadrons
-- Personnel
-- Air Stations (Bases)
-- Publications
-- Online Refs
-- Walkarounds & Photos
-- Modelling - while we should encourage all modeling to take place on UAMF, I think we can bring over much of the old CC Scale forum here (lists of kits, maybe even completed models with link to build thread (duplicates UAMF Gallery, but OK)). Any other modeling chit-chat might well belong up in the main chat forum.

As always, your call.

ALL MEMBERS - if you are not a CC SIG member but wish to be, then go to your User Control Panel and on left side select Usergroups and apply - that'll send a PM to Tom and we'll get you sorted. Give it a couple days while we sort his current list.

TOM - I am leaving Display locked until you tell me to open it; I'll keep History locked a bit while I move stuff.

A massive thankyou John!

Once I finish work tomorrow I'll transpose the About and Rules & FAQ's from the old site to here and then pm you the current active membership list (for those who've registered on UAMF).

Once that is set up then we can open the displays forum and I'll transfer the current past and present threads into their respective sections.

Regards

Good. I've since populated the History section with dummy forums before I start the transfer, let me know if you want any changes.

Also, do we have an avatar/icon for the SIG, NMT 120x120 ? I can put that in the group profile.

Something else, but I forget ...
