Welcome to Ellen Brown’s Web of Debt forum on monetary reforms. You are a unique group of socially conscious and informed persons. This forum is about finding and implementing solutions to monetary crisis issues.

A few tips and suggestions:

The BB will be lightly moderated. Your suggestions are always welcome. Standard BB Code is used. Mousing over the boxes will give hints as to their functions. Most HTML code will probably not work, although this is a new system for us, and we are still in discovery mode with some aspects of the BB.

Try to use informative subject headings. Please keep posts short and to the point. A page or 1000 words is best. Longer posts tend not to be read. For lengthy material or legislative proposals, use links or URLs where possible instead of cutting and pasting the entire thing. For specific lengthy proposals or papers we will try listing them in a separate topic under the "Solutions" forum or category. Then you can post a link (URL) to it in any discussions relevant to it. There is a preview mode, so that you can see how your post will appear to others before you finally submit it. You may also edit your posts, although it is not good form to alter the meaning or intent after comments have been made.

If you simply have to post more than a page or two of discussion or debate, please include a short summary of what is included in a brief introduction, and summarize again at the end. If possible, we want to separate the discussions into three broad categories: 1) the problems; 2) the solutions; and 3) implementation.

Let us remember that this forum is about the money reform concepts found in Ellen Brown's Web of Debt or elsewhere. The point is open and responsible debate and discussion on the most fundamental issue in all of economics: money - what is is and what it should be in a free and democratic economy. Our goal is to try to reach a consensus for advancing our monetary and banking system from one that serves the interests of the few to one that serves the many - a just and equitable money and banking system for all.

Thanks for your participation,

Is there a link from the old blog Jere? Ideally there should be a label saying FORUM at the top and I can't see one.

Also any chance of breaking up the old giant thread and transferring some of its contents here under the appropriate headings. Maybe you want to make a complete break but if newcomers arrive here and see hardly any comments they might be put off and go elsewhere. Lots of comments from the old thread, however out of date, might make it appear more of a live forum and therefore worth joining. Just my two cents...

Hi Robert, Yes we are working on getting tabs and announcement links up on both the website and blogsite now. I've posted a few announcements within the thread already, but many more are needed. I had mentioned earlier somewhere on the WOD blog that I would try to gather some of the better posts from the Coalition and Think Tank (1040 or so) responses and putting them somewhere on the forum. However I simply lack the time now, so unless I hear you or others volunteering for the job, it will have to wait for a while. (Do I see some hands there?

I am also seeking other responsible and open minded persons to help with forum moderation. I would prefer moderators who favor money reforms or alternative systems but are not yet devoted or invested in one particular plan or solution. However we could possibly have separate topics or sub-forums for such proposals and a moderator assigned to it, rather than the general bulletin board.

Thanks,
