Corporations do not use their own website to host discussions about their operations. No other Student Union does it. Why is the MSU website being turned into the swiss army knife of MSU communications?

The MSU website should serve to inform the students about the organization, its departments, its opportunities etc. Not be a place where I go to ***** about the latest stupid thing Caterine has done, or whatnot.

MacInsiders is a third party, and one that has no vested interests in the MSU. They do not censor me (unless I'm being offensive).

Also, the President's job is to stay in touch with the students. He should be using MacInsiders in the same way that you do. The VPs do have their own work to do.

I don't agree with the MSU website tactics, and my arguments are VERY well known within the MSU. I personally am not moving anything from MacInsiders, and do not expect anyone else plans to as well.

If I were in a position of higher power, such as the board of directors, I would be on MacInsiders... but that's me. Sometimes we all have to swallow our pride and play by the rules if we want our voices heard.

I would love to see MacInsiders viewed as the ultimate forum for McMaster students, but unfortunately not everyone shares this optimism. I must again stress that if you want someone to read your comments, they would be best received through the MSU forums.

Let's see, what would be more realistic:

Option A: 6500 registered users, many of which who are active, moving to the *official* MSU forum where things can be easily censored

OR

Option B: the (7?) BoD members registering on the forum.

Option B is actually even easier. The three VPs have accounts here and Caterine & Richardson used to be quite prolific posters before they took office. (AndrewC and Kaeso Publius)

Me thinks the MSU wants Chad's add revenue.

nvm, misread.

I'm just curious... are the BoD checking the MSU forum with all the activity it's seeing?

All joking aside, I think it would be great if we could get this new MSU forum going... I just think it's a giant waste of effort if we could work out some kind of cooperation with MacInsiders.
