Shouldn't we divide this forum a little? Maybe a subforum for organizing events by region (by country and city?), another one for discussing the problems and their possible solutions, another one for . . . for other topics? What do you think?
EDIT: Oh! I also want a subforum for small businesses - I have a crazy little proposal that I think will substantially help the economy http://occupywallst.org/forum/to-help-small-businesses-and-the-community-an-idea/ - essentially a crowd-sourced way to gather resources without having to borrow from banks, and hopefully promote a more community-oriented economy that naturally encourages sustainable and green businesses. This section would prosper only if small business people from all over the world joined it, but hopefully enough people will be interested to participate in it.
I understand there is a GA which includes working groups - could that be a better medium to get organized?
I am interested in the following sitebut cannot cross-check its legitimacy.

Anyone knows about this?
Yes PLEASE - organize this forum! Wish I was an IT person.
I would CERTAINLY endorse someone put a FILTER on ANY post that contains the words "Jew," "idiot," etc. Those posts do us no good.
Question: Is there a budget?
?
What budget?
Just a question. It would be nice for the forums to be organized. Either someone is going to do the work for free or will get paid. If there's a cost, then the need for organized forums should be weighed against other needs.
Ah, good point! I don't know any of the admins or anyone who's managing this website, so I have no idea.
We should certainly donate to this website, though . . . brb donating $20.
@justwantanaccount - I would like to see some organization as well. Organizing events by region would be ideal. I have no plans to commute to NYC but would consider attending gatherings near me.
I think these many forums are useful but there comes a point where something constructive must come out. Would be great if there indeed were working groups while keeping doors open for suggestions. There has been too much idle talk and provocations on this site.
I agree. This would work a lot better if OWS did it themselves than having numerous splinter forums.
Is the following link the official and authorized one to contribute to a list of potential demands? I was told it was run by a dedicated OWS working group?

How about a section where we all end the fed. we cant play games anymore, the fed has got to go
agreed
can we put bank issues into that forum aswell?
We need a section where we ONLY discuss financial problems because the people of OWS don't understand how serious ending our central bank is.
I'd rather end our aggressive wars
Thats the second thing we do, Then we end the income tax. We will prosper
not if we intend on keeping the money system as it stands
If we keep the money system as it is now, were gonna end by hyperinflation or deflation. The higher ups are going to have to decide.
That would fall under the problems/solutions subforum - also, why do you think that we should end the fed?

I just made a thread calling to end our central bank, take a look.I try explaining it alittle and also provided a video to dumb it down for everyone but basically its based on how we need to end fraction reserve banking. Cheers.
