al~Takruri's not moderating

[Tukuler al~Takruri]

My policy just tended to alienate people and people kept posting
racial anthropology and thinly Egypt veneered 'Africalogy' topics
anyway.


So, sometime ago I decided to quit moderating the Egyptology
forum. This announcement just serves to make it official.

I had hoped the Egyptology forum would somehow attract people
interested and knowledgeable in standard Egyptology topics.


Until such time that such a set of contributors appear I don't care what
winds up in the Egyptology forum or if its factually based or not. I doubt
however that this forum or board will ever get a substantial number of
university students majoring or minoring or even interested in standard
Egyptology or continental African studies to really make a difference.

Well I hope you stick around and contribute till we up our game I for one didn't think you were doing a bad job, but building anything of class takes time, membership and viewer ship is up,folks of quality will increase if not in quantity...you helped get us here this far this quick.

Hey, this was supposed to be a one shot annoucement but I guess you can't
lock out fellow staff. I'm still here, just not moderating, and will post as driven.

Oh the quality's here. It shows in each and everybody's posts. It's the bent that
I'm not feeling. I've been poring over this forum the past few hours and there're
some hotdamn incredible materials here (including what I shunted to the General
forum).
