    Default What happened to the Team Member section?

    I still have it on tapatalk but not online. Is it gone or moved somewhere else?

    Gone as of today I believe. Mods changed it to a "general discussion" section. The Team Memberships are a thing of the past it sounds like.

    Sounds good. I just saw one that was in General Discussion.

    I am pretty sure it has been over a year since anyone paid a team membership. Everyone with that status was grandfathered as a 68Forums Team Member while some bugs were looked at. In the end, it was decided to just make it open for everyone and the General Discussion was created. To limit troll threads there, a 50 post requirement is needed to open a new thread (maintained by the forum software). We will see how it goes, but I hope everyone enjoys it.

    Question for a Mod... the former Team Members who had less than 50 posts were grandfathered to allow use of the EE, is that not the same for the new General Discussions? Seems odd to allow use of one and not the other.

    It's a good question. I know the software settings that were put in place prevent < 50 posts from being able to create a new thread, but I don't know if the "68Forums.com Team Member" status that still shows in most these users' titles is capable of allowing a thread. If not now, it might be possible for the programmer to make it work.

    Not sure that's the "best" solution but know you have best wishes fending off the new "rapid posters" that will attempt to troll!

    Regardless, I love this forum and it has been a sanctuary of sanity along w/ the re-created 458S forum (common denominator in both as most know). FWIW, I was certainly happy to help in earlier days and love to see the 6.8 still growing in popularity. Mainly, hope all works and that folks will stop & read some of the great knowledge that's been put up previously... There are some exceptional folks here.

    Thanks to the site owners for making this superb place available to an ever-growing audience and customer base... PLEASE, let's keep it about all things good regarding the 6.8 that includes the "old/non-optimal" versions that RRA sold a lot of!
