The words are only their if you agree or disagree with a democratic system. This has nothing to do with the forum only peter its the club as a whole. I'll let the people speak with thier mouse clicks. You can still as you said 'run' everyone just chooses who they think is the best candidate for the job.

I would like clarification.... If this is about the Club Community to which there are PAID members, I wholeheartedly beleive that we need a number of executive positions that reflect the members wishes. I am therefore voting for rather than against.
If the question pertains to the forum ( I don't think it does) then I beleive it is up to the person running the forum ( it gets into a bit of a loop here, but right now the Club does not own the forum !).
I am voting based on The Club and what I think will help maintain the strong forward momentum and furthermore allow The Club to continue to grow stronger. I hope to see Peter at the Elections and as a Founding Member his strong influence will surely reflect in him being voted into a position.

I couldn't disagree more. Would you like it if Canada were dictatorship? Democracy has its issues in any implementation, but overall it is the best available option... for the club and the forums (which to me are the same thing).
A number of challenges come up with a democratic forum. Where do you draw the line as to when things should be voted on? Who has the final say? Do you vote on everything?
Look at the successful forums on the Internet - none are democratic. There is a leader and it run more like a business. The ones that are restrict themselves to "club members only" are small and have a tough time attacting people.
I guess if the Club owns this board, and the club wants to vote on the board, restrict it to the club. Don't invite non-club members to post.

I understand where both parties are coming from - but I just feel that the club has to be run differently.
I suppose you're right about the forum - Peter used his allowance (sorry, I'm being a prick here, but I couldn't resist) to get the forum up and running, so I guess we're stuck there.
Since the club & site are becoming bigger, I think that it's time for more than one person to be in charge of everything.
