If trolls start spamming their anti-Occupy RW talking points, we can set up a host system.

We have a large group of hosts in the lgbt group, around 20 hosts or so.

We are currently working on analyzing the needs of the lgbt group and defining/refining procedure and our roles as a collective of hosts, in order to find how best serve the unique and relatively more complex needs of the lgbt DU community.

If, at some time in the future, this forum needs hosts, we may have a model for collective hosting that Occupy forum can check out (if that is ok with the other hosts of lgbt group), and modify according to need, in order to save time when trying to achieve consensus about out how to do hosting.
