Hi everyone, before we were sophisticated enough in the permissions structure of vBulletin forums, we set the "Announcements" forum as a moderated forum. Our intent was to disallow posts to the Announcements forum itself in order to keep the noise down to a minimum. We created a "Announcements Discussion" forum to allow for comments.

We thought we had it all covered. But upon further research it appears that some of you were replying directly in the Announcements forum.

So, we've changed the permissions to disallow posts altogether -- which is what we should have done in the first place.

We apologize for any posts lost in the "moderation black hole". A review of the posts suggested that many were very specific to the announcement itself (rather than having long-lasting benefit) and that there was plenty of spam posts.
