New Forum Request


Hey Arbi and other moderators,

Cat's blog has really got me thinking: I'd like to request a new forum, something along the lines of the "Stengthen thy brethren" discussion that Nauvoo had a while back.  I know that some of us are dealing with challenges and carrying burdens that at times seem overwhelming.  I'd like to have a place where we can lay aside our idealogical differences for a while, and offer empathy, compassion, and support for each other.

If, as a panel of moderators you feel like this would be a benefit to Bountiful, then I look forward to participating.  I'd even be willing to be the moderator, although I've never done that before and would need a lot of training from somebody who has the patience.

What do you think?

That sounds reasonable, but I'll discuss it with the other moderators first. Thanks for offering to moderate it if we create such a forum. If we do, I'm fairly certain I'll take you up on that (barring something like discovering that you work for Ed Decker or something).

I like this idea. What if we called it something like "Daily Boost" or "Daily Inspirations"? That way women know it's not just about Brethren but Sisteren too...

I also think you'd make a far better moderator than say someone like myself.

Ok, feedback from the moderators has been positive about the idea. Roper, if you want to review the forum rules in the Rules section, that would be a good start to knowing how we try to moderate here. So far we're more unsuccessful than successful, but we're getting better. When you feel you're ready, let me know and I'll actually create the new area.
BTW, is "Strengthen your Brethren" good, should we choose a more gender neutral option such as "Perfecting the Saints", or is there an entirely different option?

I'm fine with Strengthen Thy Brethren. This isn't a PC board anyway. Just make sure you spell it right.
