The DG co-op forum was closed last week. It has now reopened temporarily.

There seems to have been 2 separate issues with the co-ops: people "fronting" a co-op for a vendor to get around the "no vendors" rule and too many Dmails and spillage into other areas of DG when co-ops go bad. Dave has verified that these were two major reasons for closing the co-op forum.

Dave has said that he would be willing to reconsider the decision if we could find solutions to these two problems.

That's what this thread is for. Please, constructive suggestions or feedback only! This is not the place for negativity or flaring tempers. If we can self police this thread to keep it positve, Dave may hope that we can find a way of similarly self policing when tempers flare due to co-op problems.

There's another thread for discussing alternatives to the co-op forum, in case we can't figure out a "fix":

Let's try to keep these discussions as focused as possible, to make it easier for administration and everybody else to follow.

Thanks to everyone!
