Arbornet

Hi there. The above was a template warning, and I apologize if it was too harsh. As the current VP of Arbornet (tanis is my username - jmanigold/furs, the user who actually reverted your edits, is the current president), what I saw in your initial edit was that Arbornet was defunct. This is most definitely incorrect, as we are currently holding our annual elections and the system is running strong. If it was defunct, you couldn't have even got to the login prompt to try running newuser. You are correct, however, that newuser is currently down. Our sysops are working on the problem and we hope to have the program back up soon. I saw your most recent edit, and it is definitely more accurate. Of course, your addition constitutes original research, which is not a valid verification policy of Wikipedia - "Wikipedia is not the place to publish your own experiences". Remember that Wikipedia's policy on this is not truth, it is verifiability. Let me know if you have any more questions, and I will try to notify you here once newuser is operational. Cheers.

Just FYI, the newuser program is now back up and working. Thanks for letting us know, although in the future you might want to just email any board member (you can find our email addresses on the Arbornet home page) instead of editing Wikipedia. Thanks again - Tanthalas39 (talk) 00:57, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
