Which issue is being addressed here? A Town Hall thread regarding the Private Coders Discussion was publically announced, but has never materialized. I think all of the issues about which people feel strongly have already been aired in the Site Feedback forum... so I'm not sure what the purpose of this thread is, other than for everyone to re-hash existing issues. No stance on any of the issues already brought forward is given, and no actions as a result of this thread have been outlined.

I would suggest that this thread, since it is basically toothless, be closed, and new Town Hall threads on the following issues be opened:

• Site Organization - Mod Database
• Paid Hacks
• Private "Coders" Discussion Forum
• Thread Moderation / Posting Policies

In each, the current administrative policy should be defined, poll options for possible changes be given, a time limit for each thread established, and some statement as to what actions will be taken with the poll results in each case.

While I have very strong feelings about how inappropriate, on so many levels, it is to have a Private Coders Discussion, I've already said all I have to say about it. In fact, I think there has been enough debate for the site administration to make a decision on that matter. It's high time to stop discussing these same issues, and start addressing them.
