Dear farmgirls,
A week ago, Clare told us that she would like to step down from her moderator duties on the forum. Clare has been a moderator on our forum since last year, when we decided we needed help in being alerted to any problems that arose on the forum (especially nights and weekends when we’re busy with our “other” lives). Since we were steeped in book deadlines, we asked a few of our long-standing forum members if they would help. In true farmgirl fashion, Clare and Eileen graciously stepped up and volunteered. The help they’ve given us on the forum this last year has been just amazing – we’re thankful and humbled by their dedication, care, and concern! And when Eileen became busier and we continued to be overwhelmed by other duties, Clare picked up even more slack and even tried her hand at setting some policy guidelines for our forum. Since we had never envisioned piling this much of a burden on our moderators, it’s no wonder that she’d now like to resume her place as a farmgirl chatter, without having to shoulder these extra responsibilities. And we’d like to let both Clare and Eileen do just that. The timing is really quite perfect - MaryJane and I have just finished two more books, and MaryJane’s daughter, Meggie, is now back at the farm full-time. So, from here on out, we’ll take over all moderating duties here at the farm – MaryJane and I will take a look at policies and revamp those as needed, look into forum upgrades, watch for inappropriate posts, try to get posts into the right topics, etc. Meggie and Cindylou and our "Mail List Kate" will act as administrators on certain projects and also take the time to chime in whenever necessary. If, at some point, our forum outgrows the five of us, we have other farmgirls here who are anxious to pitch in if necessary. We love and cherish ALL your voices and want to continue to offer our farm as your gathering place – the place you know to come to for companionship, advice, inspiration, and encouragement (a farmgirl "coat" from the storm of life).
Like Sleepless Reader’s farmgirl wisdom says … "Life can be messy, put on an apron!"
Farmgirl love,
Carol
