I'm perhaps too sceptical of people making the claim that they represent the overall wishes of their group on GreekChat, especially when some of the most vocal say pretty much whatever they want to say.

I'd like someone to show me why it's appropriate to "assume" that if it's not on the official site, the topic is off-limits.

If I can google your group or my group and come up with document from your official group about AI, how can you make the case your GLO intends everything about AI to be secret?

Something else I'd like to see: could those of you who make the claim that AI threads have become train wrecks provide a few links for threads in which it wasn't one of your own anti-AI group who caused the wreck?

The information used to be public and now it isn't. Our selection is now invitation only, no cold contact. I don't think that means that it is secret or off limits, it just means that more discretion needs to be maintained and GC sure as hell is not discrete in any way. By taking it to the private side of our websites, it allow our HQs to control what is out there because the information isn't so readily available. I think that is the point.

I don't know how many trainwreck threads are still available. Most of the threads have been deleted for very obvious reasons. Long term posters just rememeber them because they were highly unforgettable. Not to mention that individual organizations may have individual stories that members might share but prefer to keep between themselves. If you look through the Ai forum you might find a few of them. Beyond that, it is just the rocking chair memories of the GC oldsters.
