      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:

Appliantology Tech Member Group Consolidation

Appliantology has been around in one incarnation or another for over 15 years, going back to the old ApplianceGuru days. We have a lot of tech member groups that made sense at one time but don’t make sense any longer with where the site’s at today, which is just confusing to users and complicated for me to manage. So it’s time to clean house! We are going to streamline the member groups as described below.

There are currently 9 tech member groups:

Appliantologist - legacy honorary group
Appliantology Fellow - legacy merit group based on post count
Chief Appliantologist - legacy group
Grand Master Funk - moderator group
Master Appliantologist - honorary group
Professional Appliantologist - subscribing member group
Scholar of Appliantology - legacy group
Senior Appliantology Fellow - honorary merit group based on post count
Sublime Master of Appliantology - legacy merit group

The following groups will be consolidated into a new, single group, Legacy Tech :

Appliantologist
Appliantology Fellow
Chief Appliantologist
Sublime Master of Appliantology
Scholar of Appliantology

The permissions and access of the new Legacy Tech group will be roughly based on the current Chief Appliantologist group. 

The Grand Master Funk and Master Appliantologist groups will be eliminated and those members moved to the Senior Appliantology Fellow group.

In the end, the existing 9 tech member groups will be reduced to just 3: 

Legacy Tech - legacy member group 
Professional Appliantologist - subscribing member group
Senior Appliantology Fellow - honorary group

MUCH simpler and less confusing! 

The tech member group consolidation will occur sometime next week. Meanwhile, if you have any questions, let’s hear ‘em! 

The next step is to clean up some of the forums through consolidation and elimination. Some of the seldom-used forums will be merged into other forums or consolidated into new ones. I’ll announce details on that after the tech member consolidation is complete.

UPDATE: The tech member group consolidation is DONE!
