Considering that there isn't much activity on the moderator (Super Secret GAP Mod Lair) forum anymore. I think it's time for a redesign.
First off, for the main forum, you should lift the password restriction. This way members could use this forum to report disrespectful members/content and ask mod related questions.
Second, make the private section into a sub thread. This is just for discussion between the GAP moderators and GAPU moderators. In other words, there will be two sub forums. One for deleted stories, so members here will know what we are deleting and one for private discussion between the moderators.
I think this will increase the traffic in that forum and help improve self policing in the GAP.

I think I follow what you're saying but can you do me a favor and kind of map out what you mean. It sounds like a great idea and I'd be happy to do it, but I'm a bit confused. So if you could do something like this it would be mucho helpful. Main board --> GAP Free for all --> GAP MOD Lair --> ETC. Does that make sense. LOL.

Alright! I'll make a map, but I'm going to do it in a list.
Main Board (GAP Underground Free-for-all) -GAP Mod Forum (no password) --Deleted Stories (sub board 1 / no password) --Secret Mod Lair (sub board 2 / password required)
Does that make sense?

Just a thought... but it seems to me that the "Deleted Stories" section should remain a sub forum of the "Secret Mod Lair". When people post their stories on GAP, I don't know that they would want to see them copied and pasted to a public forum. Especially when in all likelihood their stories may be ridiculed. There is also that whole "owners permission" issue of copying them outside of GAP.
I would suggest : Main Board (GAP Underground Free-for-all) -GAP Mod Forum (no password) --Secret Mod Lair (sub board 1 / password required) --Deleted Stories (sub board 1 of above / no password) (basically what exists)
Just a thought.

In other words, you want a sub board, within a sub board. Like this: Main Board (GAP Underground Free-for-all) -GAP Mod Forum (no password) --Secret Mod Lair (sub board 1 / password required) ---Deleted Stories (2nd sub board in first sub board) This would be the quickest way to make this forum. All Chuck needs to do is create a new board for the main page (GAP Mod Forum) and then convert the current "Super Secret GAP Mod Lair" into a sub board. I like this idea better and we can always post a couple examples of deleted stories on the main forum.

Hmm...I wish we could have a sub forum within a sub forum, but that's the way the board software crumbles. We'll see how this works for now, but unlike Elsa. I personally don't see a problem having the Deleted Stories forum open to the public, since this forum is pretty calm and everyone knows everybody here. Let's see if the other moderators will chime in and see what they think.

My only concern is basically how would you feel if you saw your blog copied to another forum and people discussing it without your permission or knowledge? (and possibly in a derogatory manner)? I think that the site guidelines specify that all GAP content is not "public domain" and can't be reproduced elsewhere without permission (or I would think that the author's permission would suffice). I don't really know - but either way, it seems a touchy subject. Personally I use a screen capture program for stories I delete and just save them to my computer (firefox add on "scrapbook") - it's easier and quicker. For rather obvious reasons (for those that remember recent history), I don't hang out here as often, so I don't much care either way... I just wouldn't want it to become an issue to do with the GAP guidelines or Admin. If you have clarification on that guideline and know that this wouldn't be against the site guidelines to reproduce others work in a public forum - then it's entirely up to the other mods and y'all can ignore my comment!
