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.
Contents
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.
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).
This under the direction of the Instagram Moderator, is a public site used primarily to attract attention to the Society (and to block others from using our name there).
In 2024, the Board of Directors chose to disconnect the Augustan Society LinkedIn page. After several months, when no one stepped up to collect the data, the page was deleted.
AugustanBoard YahooGroup
This was a private forum intended for use by members of the Board, Headquarters Staff, and the Chairmen of major committees to discuss Society business, and perhaps conduct some preliminary conversations about items to come before the Board. It was under the moderation of the Webmaster.
This group was deactivated by order of the President, with only the Webmaster retaining membership. It may be quickly reactivated at need.
AugustanConvert YahooGroup
This site was taken down after the groups using it shrank below two each.
AugustanHeraldry YahooGroup
This under the direction of the Arms Chancellor, is a private group for the members of the Heraldry Committee and Headquarters Staff to exchange files and maintain a database of petitions and registrations.
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 decent support, at which point diverting some of that data flow to Twitter will become relatively trivial.
