Okay, I will ask the question. And I suppose I am the fitting one to ask it, considering my long-held feelings on the open floor policy.
Why don't we open this conversation to a select group of faithful visitors (or otherwise beloved friends/romances of ours) to room 611? And I am thinking in particular of females! If we assume that none of our conversation would drift into "inappropriate" waters (to which I think we can all agree we have been keeping each other accountable) then why not enjoy the immeasurable benefit of the female voice? Especially those voices from which we have derived such great lessons and companionship in the past.
I absolutely see the great benefit of keeping it to the boys, but seeing as it's a public forum, regardless, maybe we might as well include the other half of our T6 friendships. Wasn't T6 famous for our good relations with the sisters?
I'm happy with our beautiful site the way it is. But I'd also love to have open these conversations to the spouses, soccer players, Alias watchers, etc. who are important to us and would like to be a part of it. Thoughts?

If you want a girl to participate, marry her. Otherwise she's out.
Maybe we can just have open blog nights twice a week for two to four hours per night. Dave could post the times on the blog at the beginning of the week. During the open blog time, all restrictions on who can comment would come down temporarily.
Now for the non-joke part. Adam, do you know of girls that have expressed a desire to contribute to the site? Maybe we need two sites. One would be a secure server set up by Dusty as he has mentioned. The other would be continued at this blog and open to all friends of T6.
Actually, now that I think about it some more, this sounds like a good idea. My neighbor's cat has expressed an interest in contributing, as has their child, Tim, who yodels.
Andy, this is completely unrelated to this comment stream, but what was the name of that book about the cats?
Ok ok...I'm finally back and am in need of a shower. The new blog will allow us to create access for other users, so they can read and or post in open forums, while they will not be able to see certain sections which will be only open to Traber 6 guys.. same as the wheaton forum..however the software will be much better than what the wheaton forum ran.
huh, I kind of like what we have going on here, but that's just me (although, a certain level of comments from non-contributors might be a good thing... I dunno).
Coye, you will still be able to keep the same thing you have going here, but it would not be public for the world to see...it would be easy to edit your own comments, post pictures in your own gallery, etc. one of the subforums would be open to the female voice....and that is the only one they would be able to see.
I'm not a big fan of the "private" and "public" posts idea. Would it be possible to keep everything functioning pretty much as it is now where anyone can read our posts but have two separate comment streams: one that anyone (from a female aquaintance to a professional monkey) could comment on and one that only group members could comment on? I think that would be pretty cool.
I don't think that is possible. Cool idea though... Do you like the idea of something open to the entire web? See, you could just post in the open forum and not the closed one, but having that option might be favored if there were some type of "guy" conversations going on.
Getting back to Adam's idea of including select non-T6 visitor. We could permit a certain number of visitors and auction off the openings. Just food for thought.
I still say that if you want a girl on the site, marry her.
Strauss, why aren't Luke and double-D in on the blog?
I don't know why Coye. Go ahead and bug them. Just don't spam them.
bswearin@percy.xidus.net
degroot@luxsci.net
lukearmerding@fastmail.fm
I haven't bothered them about it, because they know the site exists. I figure that they have made their choices for good reasons.
