A Conversation for The Underguide - Good or Bad?
"AWW page will contain a UG focus that takes away from other groups"

I've not seen any evidence that this is true yet. But even if it is, there is no reason for it not to be called the UnderGuide forum, it will after all be the Miners doing all the work.

Miners will not be doing all the work. The community will be doing all the work. If you consider the miners to be the only ones using the forum then immediately you have proven my point that the UG is becoming controlling and is focussed on being in charge and not getting the community involved to be in charge. Miners are becoming like Scouts - starting to act like they own the place. The miners of the UG use the place, the community own it.

The miners will not be the only ones "using" it. The goes without saying.
So is this a problem with Scouts spook and not Miners?
You yourself are a scout are you not?

The Miners act like the Scouts, which can only be a bad thing. The Scout scheme has deteriorated loads while i've been there, and the Miners act in the threads with the same 'we are authority' attitude.

If you look at our draft of the new AWW page, you see that it gives equal-ish space to each group. Actually, your blurb (Which GTB asked you for, which clearly shows you knew this part was wrong, BTW) is the longest on the page
