Editing Reference:DRC Discussions forum/Inappropriate threads (section)

==May 6, 2002 - Michael Engberg==
We each recognized that the focus of invited participants would be an issue even before this forum became accessible to the public. As you’ll remember, debates on this very topic went on at length, to the point of becoming a distraction to the real work at hand.

If someday the costs of maintenance outweigh the benefit to our greater purpose of restoring D’ni, we can discuss further action, but I think any decision is premature after being online for only two weeks. For now, I sustain my original vote to maintain these forums with as little moderation as possible. I simply do not think we have the resources at this time to do otherwise. If nothing else, Kodama, remember the sieve analogy that sold you on the idea in the first place. Let’s not give up on it yet.

Unwanted participants and site security is another matter entirely, which I, for one, think should be given the greater priority.
