This message board permanently closed on June 30th, 2020 at 4PM EDT and is no longer accepting new members.
It used to be closed on weekends when I first joined. Glad to hear the moderators are using the free time to relax and spend time with family!The past few weeks of having the Board shut down has given the volunteer moderators the opportunity to spend more time with their family and to do other personal activities. This has been a welcome break from their moderating duties and we have, therefore, decided that going forward the Board will continue to be shut down for the weekend. This is a 3-day weekend for me because of the Martin Luther King holiday on Monday so it will not reopen until Tuesday morning at 8:30 AM ET when I am back on duty.
Other changes may be coming in the next year or two in how the Board operates. The moderating team will be discussing how best to do that and will keep you informed as those decisions are made.
Now that the maintenance has been completed, there will be no need to close the Board down for Profile posts and private messages so anyone with those privileges will be able to do so.
Have a great weekend!
Ms. Mod
