Smorgy (Sharon) and I are culling through the Elder’s List and plan to eliminate those Elders who haven’t been active on the site during the past year. We have put out PMs to those whom we plan to remove from the list to give them a chance to pipe up and let their presence be known by showing some activity. Unless we hear back, they will be deleted. Nothing personal, just following the parameters set for Elderhood.
The other change is that the eligibility rules will be altered in that a member must have a presence on this site for a year, quit and active. In other words someone who arrives here with a year or more quit and is offering support will not become an Elder until they have been on the site a year. Those who already have Elder status in that case will be grandfathered in as long as they meet the two other criteria - having been quit a year and providing some on-going support.
