Wow that's a hard call to make. I know our forum is read and in most cases it has turned out to be fun for those involved ie challenges.

From what I read we don't really post things that can't be read and if needed we do hide some of the threads (even though it's a real pain to post to them).

I vote we leave it as is. HOWEVER I am only 1 vote. If anyone has an opinion please make sure to share it.

Cheers Rick

edit: I did just think of something. Due to your very cool flagging of new posts in forums showing up, now it's very obvious when we post here. Whether other users read I have no idea but at least it's now a flag waving in the breeze.

Fine as it is I think.

This forum does NOT show up in the forum list of non-members. You don't see any of the other team forums, right?

It's fine like it is I think. :-)

@Mike ... You are correct.

Nicely done Tyler. Hope all is well.

I'm fine leaving things the way they currently are.

Yup, I'm fine with the way things are.

I also agree, keeping it open is good. I actually just learned this week that the team forums are readable by all.

I'm going with the majority here: no need to change anything.

Maybe we could change it to private when we're discussing how to steal the crown jewels.

(I can't imagine how many flags this post will be generating. And since our Lord of the Rats claims "they" even know whether he's sitting in the front or the back of his house, I'll start checking the window for any unusual activity.)

I would add a smiley to make sure "they" interpret my post correctly, but emojis are not my thing. I'm probably too old or too conservative or I just can't be bothered.

I would go with what others have been saying till now. It's okay not to change anything.

Am okay with the current system.

I also am OK with things as it stands. The only exception I can think of is if you have to deal with someone with learning difficulties or something similar. That presumably wouldn't be in any "general rules", though, as it doesn't apply to most people.

I've got no problem with the AtP forum remaining "adult", but we don't tend to push those limits anyway, do we?

If there is consideration for team discussions (i.e. forums) becoming private, then that would become an added dimension. That wouldn't involve any extra badges or benchmarks, though.
