Actually, my assumption that it was the boards desicion to revamp this forum was just that, an assumption, mainly because like everything else that goes on in this club, its a secret of sorts without anybody from the board standing up and saying, this is whats gotta happen. Actually it was a good plan to stop allowing anyone but members to post on here. However i still think anybody should have access to veiwing it. Now to outsiders, it looks like more secrets and hidden agenda's within....   Im sure that all those suggesting for hpoca forum closure were the same ones who were challenging posts made by those who they tagged "RENEGADES" , using mutiple handles and failing to identify themselves. All that was doing was adding fuel to the fire. Whether those posts by renegades were right, wrong or outright foolish makes no difference if the others posting objection didnt have the courage to sign thier name.  This is were the board should have stepped in and stopped all this long ago. All these people were looking for was some leadership, some direction were the club was heading. Why couldnt Mr Allen just make one post, saying that working conditions between the board and sherry had  erroded to the point were they werent able to work together anymore. Although Sherry might not agree, we felt it was time to go another direction. Nothing more will be said on the subject and our decision is final. Due to legalities, this issue cannot be discussed further. On the subject of were monies are or arent,in the finiancial, the treasure could say, i am in the midst of a reorganization of accounts and club structure, all figures will be in place by the annual audit. Till than i cant say anymore.I could go on and on with these simple, but reasonable questions that have been asked over and over. But you get the picture. All these people are looking for is some kinda reasonable response that would secure their feelings that the club actually has leadership. But, nope, nothing, not a word. And the longer the silence continues, the worse it will gets. Other than you, or Chris, the members(internet ones anyways) will continue to feel like they are floating on an abandoned ship. I sure dont like hearing how all this mess was created by a few disgruntled members with computers who became known as Renegades.The leadership and the nameless and faceless who back them are the main culprits. All they had to do was tell the truth(even if it was in the words of whoever made that boohoohoo post if that was their honest feeling about her) and say it like it was. Tell people to live with it or move on.Say something, anything and sign their name to it, and im sure this would have all been forgotten long ago.  Have a nice day  Bob Cook
