The Mists of Avalon is also part of us - we are the same people, with the same hearts.
Hopping that we shall find a way to fix and repair what is done, I wish you all to follow your hearts and to have your decisions as it is best for you.

Love and Respect

Good of you Oliver . Decisions made from Heart bring peace .

Love from me

One thing about avalon 2 i dont understand ...... If its invite only , then how will people that are new to avalon be able to join?

John

[mudra]

Somewhere Ross said they are going through the 6800 members and all will get an invite except troubler makers.
You have to be patient as this is a lot of members.
You may also request an invite .

I believe a thread made sticky by the mods will all the relevant infos regarding PA2 would be of great help.

Love Always

Good question John-d.. good question indeed .
As I suggested there should be a sticky thread that answers all this .

I have posted this on the Nexus thread, and I will put it here too:

The End of a Cycle

Everything in life as a cycle. There's the cycle of life, there's the crop cycle, there's the 24H daily cycle, there's the solstice and the equinox cycle, History is made of cycles, etc.. and Avalon is no exception.
Avalon has reached the end of a cycle, and a new one is coming. It didn't start in the best way, as we, the members, the ones that keep the forum growing... we were left in the dark, leaving room to spreading rumors, that fed the unhappiness of the members. Not to mention the Abraxas novel...
Now the mod team is trying to calm people down and straighten things, but the wound is open, and things will take time to heal.

Some people are, by nature, against change when things are running well, (I'm one of them) and if not clearly explained how things will be, the "riot" is a certainty.

Some things were said about the new forum rules, but until we see how things will work out, we have to give some benefit of the doubt.

We are all precious to Avalon, and I believe the Mod team and the Administrators are aware of it. Without us, Avalon wouldn't be what it is today.

The cycle is ending. It was an excellent ride, and the memories of it are here. A new cycle is beginning... will it be a good one? We don't know, but we have to accept it.
Maybe we choose different paths, but the goal is the same. (or we wouldn't be here).

Remember, how could we be pretending on building communities, if we can't even respect each others in this virtual world? How would it be in the real world?

My 2cents!

Love and Respect to you all.

I am refraining from posting at pa2 for the moment as I am not happy with the way people are being treated. If I do post what I'm thinking they will be pi$sed off with me and will ban me
Grrr I hate rules

So swanny.post it here..they will put you in the mists at the worst..or ban you from this forum...

[burgundia]

I have a feeling it will backfire at them....

[GregorArturo]

I logged into AV2 once, immediately didn't like the vibe, and haven't gone back, and I'm not sure if I will. My vote is to leave Avalon as is.

Invite only to a forum, I don't consider that a forum. That is a closed door club. Makes me think of a bunch of privileged men smoking their cigars in a private lounge discussing how they understand the world works and the rest of the world doesn't have a damn clue, and isn't going to find out because it's behind closed doors. Hmph.

My new Avalon is in Sedona. I think I'm just gonna head back over there and stay put It's not like I can get banned from scaling Bell Rock and enjoying a good ole meditation in the vortex. I'll leave the moderation up to the universe.

Wow, and there lays the problem. You should never feel afraid or concerned for speaking your mind. Especially on a forum promoting "unity" and new paradigms. That is simply unfair and unacceptable.

Ok, here I go...I have to bring this horse back up here, so I do apologize in advance.
The greatest concern that every single member should have is the true triggering of the chaos that unfolded here. Unfortunately, it was predominately due to Moderators argueing and calling each other out openly on the forum for all to see. Then when some of them mentioned agendas playing out behind the scenes...OUCH!!

There's nothing more damaging to the integrity of a business, operation, or forum for that matter than public dissension, hostility, and non-support from it's leaders. Period. Unfortunately, those members who had a human reaction to this behavior, information and accusations exploding in their faces, are the ones being penalyzed. People felt let down, and I've yet seen any apology from the Moderators for the obvious. It's as if we all are to move on and forget about it. That is what will cause the slightest thing that happens next to blow up, because we are not addressing the core issues and member concerns. Folks, I've managed people for 10+ years, trust me on the above statement. How things are being handled now, simply is not a conducive approach or resolve.

Wow!!

Very simple.
Keep Avalon as it is warts and all
Yes or no.
I dont know how but my vote is a yes.

No point talking lets do something

If we are allowed to buy the domain name (projectavalon.net), I'm sure we can find another server and an IT guy to transfer/set the forum for "US" the way it is now.

JMHO

Hi All

hmmmmm, what to say.....how to sound profound...ah, just be myself, it's always worked.

The NFP (I think of them as "new found powers" rather than new forum powers) have an agenda, one that is driven from beyond the veil which I am afraid not even they are capable of seeing due to their proximity to what is happening.

My feelings? Well, that this was all meticulously planned and executed, a well strategised operation that has been in the making for quite some time. The first notion of this happening was when subscription fell away. This in and of itself opened the doors to what I feel is truly an "agenda".

What to do? As someone said, If I had the money.......lets expand that thought, collectively we do have the means. I was a happy subscriber, I would happily pay for this forum to continue. One problem, we would no doubt not be allowed to keep the name.

Perhaps another problem, they wouldn't sell......

LL&P

Always

So far it seems as though it will be a very serious place with no hope of fun

Only the NFO will be allowed to have fun...

hi Oliver

where did you read this new rules.

I do not like the sounds of this.

I have not yet decided if the Jester will continue on with the games that are being played and join such a crazy bunch. Here i stand on the front lines of new peaceful earth watching the madness happen...i would like to read this before I decide but do agree that this current platform works well.



peace JT!

Jester will be Jester wherever he goes. And we will all love him..
Let us hope, SOMEONE will think and feel about all of this.

Cheers, buddy!

Not a rule person but a heart person.
When some one who is as respected as Mudra is voices concern then I take heed.
I also have the greatest respect for you as well Oliver.
Time being I sit on the fence but lean in the direction of the very valid sentiments of your first post.

Regards
Chris

How come everything can't be put in the open "such as the rules" so everyone can read them, not a select few.!

IMHO: I think for this thing to succeed, we all have to be involved in its creation, ALL of us as Co-creators. Otherwise, it seems like only a few are trying to create for all of us.

There is'nt any Spirituality subdivision either in PA2.

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/forum.php

If we look at the number of posts this section of Old Avalon gathered I believe this will be missed by many .
I am sorry to say I can't find my place in PA2.
I would love Avalon to remain the colorfull land it had become through the contributions of our diverse soul signatures .
This is what made PA so special, attractive and inspiring to many .
And what made it sacred to me .
For a long time we have been able to express ourselves freely and lived in peace .
That was the spirit of Avalon .
I wish its gates would never close.

Love Always

As you know Mudra I am very much in agreement with you.
If I had the money I would do a management buy out of Avalon.
There is no place like it.
I have been on other forums but never felt the desire to post.
Here I have made real friends people with a real concern for others
Unconditional love is not the exception.
So there were some here that would fight with their shadow but it was a safe place for them to come and play and hopefully grow.

With love
Chris

[JesterTerrestrial]

Mudra you are one of the most special people I have met here!

I am not really into this whole avalon 2 thing!

I am more leaning towards fixing our problems here!

We shall see where the Jester ends up!

I DONT THINK I REALLY NEED AN INVITATION TO MY OWN ISLAND!!!

PEACE JT!

[Steven]

Hello Oliver. Thank you for the heads up, I didn't know PA2 was up. I've been there, it is just beginning, so I will not make a final appreciation about it before a couple weeks.

But... Ouch! I don't fit there . Bah! It doesn't matter. I might go sail in a new direction as well... We live in abundance!

Namaste, Steven

Ah Mudra I cry with you and all Avalonians...I don't see a place for like minded souls including myself at the new PA2 either....no embrace for the individual nations & tribes (e.g. categories Canada, South America, U.K., Europe,etc.) to do their postings...no individual member pages to share experiences and relationships...I glanced at the planned Forum and it looks so superficial and shallow...rounded out by elitism "invites only" and strict rule guidelines. Maybe it is just as well...I am not into cultism...and shades of the Illuminati.
