With some delay, I first of all want to thank Vern for the facilities he gave us, MM-addicts, with these boards. I was surprised, but much more flattered, that he chose me as the first person to give me administrator-rights. Although I have no experience at all, I will try to make the best of it, with the help of some other people. From the emails during the time-out, I know that there are certainly Mansioneers who want to help.

What I tried to do last night, was making the forums visible for guests, while they are unable to post things. I think that these is the best way to disable nonsense as much as possible. And to avoid posts of members who forgot to log in. As you could see, I didn't succeed so far. 

About the current forums I already made yesterday ...  Of course it is right that the list is now very long. But I should not say it is a clutter. On the previous boards there were a lot of complains, and in my opinion rightly, that when the administrators do NOT create one forum for each mansion things get ... cluttered. Sorry for using that word. But to keep it to the biggest problem, for Midnight Mazes and Monsters, at the time that the former site went down, there were more than ten threads of which one had 25 pages. So everyone was begging for something more structured and that was what I tried to do in this way. Because the two mansionlists are indeed long (and look so empty), I used the alphabetical order for the custom mansions and the map-order for the included ones. Perhaps I need to make that last list also alphabetical. To summarize: what I did was based on earlier comments. And I hope I did well. Mmmm ... it feels good to be in discussion again! 

Meanwhile there is still a lot to do. But at the end, when Vern feels that everything seems to run smoothly, I hope that there will come a 6th tab at the ActionSoft/MidnightMansion-website, called "Fansite". And that is my challenge: creating something that he believes in.

Well, the boards changed very drastically!

The answer on your question is yes. And sooner or later it is coming.

And just right now I am testing uploading a mansion. To be continued.

OK.  Freddy has changed the forums and the members can start new threads.  I have a suggetstion to avoid too many threads on one subject and crossposting:  The moderators can move posts from one thread to another and delete crossposts.  I think that it is only fair to do so because otherwise we would eventually have 10+ threads on MMaM 
I'd like the forummembers to comment on this.  Is it OK to move posts (with an annoncement) to prevent cluttering?

And there should possibly be a forum created just for MMaM, as well as a forum created for any other custom mansion that generates that kind of posting traffic.
