Re: Request for a private Military Forum

I put it that way because some people are worried that the forum would degenerate into a political firestorm. If we ask people to show members to write in there ship number, or ship name, unit or BOD number it would cut down on the annoyance sniping.

What makes you think that making it private would prevent that?

Is this intended just for active duty? Will veterans be welcome?

I don't like having the forum private. It won't necessarily degenerate into politics, but I think it will almost surely degenerate into inter-branch bickering whether public or private.

Why not set up your own Yahoo group for it? Chances are they already have one. Check these out:

Great, so when I piss off someone in that forum he can call up my CO and tell them I tried to send him illegal porn or something. That makes the forum sound even better.
