AMA Forum Charter and "Plan" discussion

Dav · 2014-11-19 18:46:41

Welcome to the Boards.ie (AMA) forum. So, what's this forum about and how will it work? We're all very familiar with the idea of what an AMA is at this stage - someone signs up for a Q&A and they answer as many questions as they can or want to.

Probably asked and answered before, but say if someone wants to do an AMA on something, but wants to keep their identities hidden - would you allow them to create throwaway accounts in order to do the AMA.

I just think it would open up a lot of interesting discussions.

Of course, that's exactly the situation when we have someone with for example "I'm a merchant navy officer, AMA"

They won't be using the account again anywhere else on the site, just for the duration of the AMA.

How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

Could we have an AMA with a Muslim, preferably an imam?

A great idea in theory, but a train wreck in practice would be my prediction unfortunately.

After what happened with the traveller I dont think this would work. And it would probably be much worse.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Whats the procedure once you fill in a form? I did this a week or so ago and haven't heard anything more. Is that normal or should I resend?

AMA Epilepsy would be very interesting for me as we mostly have no idea of signs and what to do if you see the average Joe Soap having a Seizure

Maybe get someone from Epilepsy Ireland onboard

I don't know how good I'd be at answering questions but I could put my name in for this if people were interested? I also just had awake brain surgery as part of my treatment to hopefully get rid of the thing which people might be interested in.

I'd heard of it being done before, but for some reason I never asked what the procedure was called... the term actually seems a bit obvious

I'd be very interested in that AMA anyway

Well the official medical term on all my forms was awake craniotomy though I don't think that changes the important part!

It should open a link to a new PM to the Bank of Ireland Reps account: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/private.php?do=newpm&u=501903

Their profile page is here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?u=501903 if you want to click on 'Send a private message' from there.

If that doesn't work for any reason (though it really should), you can PM me and I'll pass it along.

First link brought me back into my pm inbox: might be a touch site glitch? Second link worked though thanks
