Though this forum is only a few weeks old and the rest of the site has not fully launched yet, we have hit a bit of a problem... For personal reasons, @Žaklīna who came up with the idea for EKO DIENA and who was going to be in charge of running the project, is not going to be able to continue to do that at the moment. This leaves us with a difficult decision to make: What should we do with this site? The options are really quite simple: We can end the project and remove this forum together with the rest of the site. We can keep just the forum online without the directory or news sections of the site. We can keep the entire project running. So, we would like to know how much interest there is in keeping this site up, right now there are only a few users in this community but we love that some of you have been quite active in the forums already. If we find a way to continue to run EKO DIENA, would any of you be interested in becoming community moderators for Talk, maybe to contribute news and stories to the site, or to help keep the directory page updated. Let us know what you think.

Should EKO DIENA continue?

We would really like to see the site continue and grow. As you said above it is a small community of people for now but I'm sure there is a good chance for it to continue to pull in new people and interesting conversations.

Right now, as we are planning to move to the Baltics later on this year the people here are really helpful in answering some of my questions even if some of them are pretty basic, and since I plan to start an eco based business later in the year in Lithuania I really look forward to having a good source of useful and relevant news, a place to network and a forum to discuss issues.

If there is any way that I can support this site, through participating or moderating in some way or in another form then I'd be only happy to help.

Julie Brooks-Girskiene

Absolutely.

As Stasys said above, we are happy to help out in any way that we can.

Žaklīna

As it is written above, I do not have the opportunity to continue leading this project. I do not want to go into this in more detail but it is because of personal family problems and life changes.

I would really like to see this site and community grow and thrive and I will participate in the forum as much as possible but nothing more except that, I am just no longer be able to do it. I will no longer be an administrator on this forum or news site but for this moment I can still stay as a moderator if needed.

I would like to thank you all very much for participating in this project and for taking the time to start interesting conversations right from the very beginning, and I am sorry that I am unable to continue to be very involved.

Arvīds

First @Žaklīna I hope you are ok. Whatever is going on you know how to find me if you need something.

I would like the site to stay, I'm enjoying posting here and hoped to see a lot more happening.

Egle-K

This is sad. ☹️

If the forum stays here then I will keep reading and taking part. If not then it was fun for minute.

Should I keep writing in the other conversations or is the last one?

Skylar

Egle-K I feel the same way as Egle. I'd like it to stay and have good discussions.

Stasys-Girskis

If the problem is with funding the project then maybe you could add a way for people to donate?

Piri

Well over 50% is for keep it, so it will be kept.

John

Since a decision has been made, I am going to unstick and close this discussion.

Let's all raise a 🍷 to the future of Eko Diena and keep on creating more discussions!
