I was going through some of the options for the site and noticed the User Forum section.  With this anyone can start a discussion thread on pretty much any topic they want and people on the site can participate in the discussion.  It's kind of like the message forum section but you can start different threads here and subscribe to them if you want to know they've been updated.  I just want to set a few guidelines though.  I don't expect any trouble from the people on our site but some of the other "class creator" sites have had some trouble with their "user forum" sections so I thought I'd head that off just in case and just have a few simple guidelines.  

First, I'd like to keep this forum focused on Southwestern and our memories from there and growing up around Hanover, so I'd rather avoid religion, politics, or anything else that might cause hard feelings for people.  I'd like it to stay fun and lite.

Second, keep people's feelings in mind.  If you're sharing an embarassing story about someone you might check with them before sharing it just to see if it's OK with them. 

That's it.  I hope people have fun with this section.
