My thoughts were that when someone does donate we can add them into the system as a player in group 0, their login ID matching their 'character name'.

Yes - that  sounds  good to  me  mate.

Very similar to the Gotcha Debates.

Please note -  this is in an admin only forum  :)  and please can we keep this  discussion in and the commenst  made in here for the moment.

I  have joined the 'Save PBW' yahoo group, and and one of the  guys there is  taking about  getting a Non-profit together to think about taking over PBW.

I  think it is Fatman, who has both an account here and at PBW.  If I am right, he probably  has the skills to work with Jim's code -  not immediately, but  he  should have  something workable by the time Jim pulls the plug in June  2003.

That programming was one of the things that was missing from the original bid some of us made for PBW, and certainly makes the PBW future seem more promising.

I am going to  make an offer, as an individual, to  work  with Fatman to  try and sort something out there -  because it  has been a good site to me and I  would  hate to see it  die.

Would you also like me to talk to Fatman as Chairman of FoRPoL  and  see  if  we can tie together links between the two sites again -  perhaps  build  towartds a 'sister sites'  relationship that  Jase talked to  Jim about -  and Jase and I  were talking about when during the original PBW offer.

PBW can burn in hell for all I care.  But do what you want.

It depends on what hat he's wearing, I think, dollsteak.

John, my suggestion would be work on it as an individual until you and fatman have a good idea of where its going, then reassess the situation to see if RPOL needs to get involved officio.

I think getting RPOL involved too early will make it look like hostile takeover, and both sites would probably benefit from a much more relaxed and friendly approach. There is enough strain already.

Suck it and see?

As Chair of  F-RPoL and being involved in its  setting up and running,  it is fair that I talk to  you all if I think of  doing something that  might be  seen as a 'clash of interests'.  And talking to  PBW  can be seen in those terms.

I  agree with Jhael though.  It  is probably  better for me to act as an individual, rather than trying to represent FoRPoL.  But it is  important for me to  know -  that I  am  not  doing things as an indivdual, that  you think I  should be  doing as Chair of FoRPoL  :)
