1. Whoever holds the credentials (password) to the VC account on SOH shall give them to the president of Virtual boards (MrAmerica) immediately and allow the president to decide what to do with the account.
2. In the event that the President decides to reopen the VC account on SOH the ratified constitution from Virtual Boards shall also transfer over and a new onedrive account will be created to display the constitution in a document and a legislation feature. All positions will also be transferred back over.
Argument: Since creating this website VC has lost over 2/3 VC members, a large portion of members on the current Virtual Boards are also active on VC which makes it pointless to be switching between apps to use VC. Many who have went inactive cite complexity of the Virtual Boards as a reason for not using the new VC. Security concerns doesn’t justify decimating VC, you can block VPNs with a premium surveymonkey account and since the money people donated to the site hasn’t even been used yet it could go towards a year subscription of premium surveymonkey. A final point is that nearly everyone on here (<10 people) have a political position (judge, cabinet, etc.), it makes the game pointless.

I don't see a place where I can vote in favor of this bill, but I do indeed support it. The Boards thing was a great idea, but it scared off nearly everyone. We need desperate measures to survive. mramerica , please weigh in with your opinion.

SoH was a better format despite its many flaws.

What would the old VC account be doing? Is this just a return to the old status quo? I don't think I would support that, but I could support linking voting threads on the Board site on the VC account.

The idea is to bring back VC on SOH and use the money raised for a premium surveymonkey Account (which can block VPNs) and to create a new legislation proposition page that CollinMatthew and Lucaval don’t have access to, the debating will be on SOH polls as it used to so we can have easy to navigate back and fourth conversation, the president will ultimately decide but as a very active congressman for awhile I believe this is the best route. This website is a downgrade, it may have some security features (which can be achieved with a premium surveymonkey) but it is complex to navigate and not the right format for the nature of VC. An example of a criticall flaw is the fact I haven’t gotten one notification on all these comments despite this being my own thread which my account posted, luckily I check it periodically but not everyone does. To bowers point, as mramerica said we can try to recruit but being a random website with a complicated url and whatnot it is not only difficult to recruit but to get people to participate; the only options we have are to ask people we know in real life rather than an endless stream of new people signing up for an app and recruiting them like that. Additionally if we are going to be a model government simulator on our own site, there is other ones which are far more efficient and have real dollars and hundreds of users supporting them, there is simply no reason random people would choose our site when there’s so many others which are better. Also many of us are still on SoH, so what is the real reason we are using an external site when we can just use the soh app?
