In this modern age, it's not simply appropriate, but necessary that The Augustan Society, Inc., engage the public, our members, and various [[Study Groups]] with social media of a type appropriate to the purpose.
==[[Forum]]== The Forum is a feature of our [[Main Website]], and is under the direction of the Forum Moderator. As that office is presently vacant, the Forum has been disabled.
==[[Facebook]]==
This under the direction of the [[Facebook Moderator]], is a public site used primarily to attract attention to the Society (and to block others from using our name there).
==[[LinkedIn]]==
There is an ==LinkedIn== In 2024, the [[Board of Directors]] chose to disconnect the Augustan Society LinkedIn page. It is presently dormantattached to the personal account of the former moderator, who is deleting Society links and serves primarily will drop the Society link as soon as it's determined how to reserve that name-space. No activity is expected until a [[LinkedIn Moderator]] is nameddo so.
==[[AugustanBoard YahooGroup]]==
This under the direction of the [[Assistant Secretary]], is was a private forum intended for use by members of the [[Board]] , [[Headquarters Staff]], and the [[ConsulsChairman|Chairmen]] of major committees to discuss Society business, and perhaps conduct some preliminary conversations about items to come before the Board. Only 2/3 It was under the moderation of the [[DirectorsWebmaster]]. This group was deactivated by order of the [[President]] are presently members, and fewer participatewith only the Webmaster retaining membership. It may be quickly reactivated at need.
==[[AugustanConvert YahooGroup]]==
This under site was taken down after the direction of the [[Editor-in-Chief]]. It's a private forum for use by volunteers working on several projects: * [[Back Issue Digitizing]] — PDF files of back issues are posted, along with RTF files with the output of OCR software. Volunteers convert the latter into OCR files more nearly suitable for publication.* [[Photo Collection Study Group]] — Scans of photos from the Society's collection are posted here to solicit identification of the people and places depicted. Because of storage limits and the tendency of these groups to involve different volunteers, this may be split into using it shrank below two or more groups in futureeach.
==[[AugustanHeraldry YahooGroup]]==
This under the direction of the [[Arms Chancellor]], it's is a private group for the members of the [[Arms Registration Heraldry Committee]] and [[ConsulsHeadquarters Staff]] to exchange files and maintain a database of petitions and registrations. It is presently inactive, as is the Committee.
==[[ENS Forum]]==
The [[Main Website]], operating under EasyNetSites, includes a public forum feature. It was disabled at the order of the [[President]] as it did not have the ability to require a moderator's preview of posts. It could be reactivated by order of the President or [[Board]] if a moderator should come forth.
==Twitter==
A Twitter account has been proposed for the Society, but it has not yet been implemented for lack of a moderator and a source of frequent data to post. It is not expected that this will be activated until and unless the Facebook page gets a moderator and decent support, at which point diverting some of that data flow to Twitter will become relatively trivial.
