Dear All,

The DhO server locked up but has been reset. Simon is looking into why and what we can do to make it more stable. Sorry for the downtime.

In the meantime, feel free to enjoy useful, kind, thoughtful, productive discussions of your favorite dharma topics.

We, the moderators, are talking among ourselves to try to figure out the best way to keep this place inviting, skillful, productive, and help the signal-to-noise ratio, as well as to encourage basic decorum and integrity here. While the DhO has generally been relatively lightly moderated, recent abuses of that privilege are shifting towards a bit more control of what happens here to help the DhO encourage people to feel welcome to explore the amazing ways we can explore our minds and the friendly support we can lend each other in that process.

More will follow shortly.
