Well, I think this thread has shown the group consensus is not to post on the old boards.

If nothing else, I'm content to let it lie here until such time as we need to visit the issue again, but for now everyone should have seen which way the wind is blowing

Has any body been over there recently?

Yes, I agree - this is a good point to put the banning issue on a back burner for a while - we haven't voted it in, but we haven't rejected it out of hand either - it's early days yet - let's see how things go now that concerns have been aired.

As far as [i:e56d3a9316]reading[/i:e56d3a9316] the HC board is concerned, I don't see that as a problem - there is a certain morbid curiosity about somewhere one has left under these sort of conditions to see what has happened since, but in general I think posting here as responses to what is happening over there should be avoided (for me, that's part of the "don't tease the animals" idea) - I say "in general" because some non-controversial comments may be acceptable - such as the fact that I noticed today that they seem to have acquired a Harper-Collins moderator - registered today! I presume this is not a fake, since the name appears in the normal places alongside the old 1998-registered "webmaster"!

That's why I asked. I noticed it earlier.

Right, just bumping this as a reminder for what has previously been decided.
