Changes to Transtastic

    All of you members know that Katie Glover took over Transtastic earlier this year. You will also know that she and her techie elves have worked very hard to resolve and solve many of the technical issues here. Lots of those were inherited and the site is still a patchwork of add ons and patches on top of the underlying software. A bit like a quilt made with love.

     

    Now at last Katie and her techies have solved the issue of albums and uploading new photos. There are still other technical challenges ahead for this site, which will be fixed as there is a coherent plan as to which direction the site should take to make it the premier transgender contact website. One where ordinary trans people can use this site safely together with those who prefer to look at adult pix and content. That dilemma is being resolved.

     

    I have had long discussions with Katie and have agreed to stay on as chief moderator for the long term. When I make commitments I stick to them. I have recruited a new team of moderators - Christine Taylor, Julie Dream, Lesley Carrington and Rachel Maxwell - who will start their activities in the next few days.

     

    In the short term we may still have the problem of adult photos appearing on the main safe feed, but this should become less frequent, and we are hopeful that software fixes will resolve this permamently.

     

    As more changes take place I will inform all of you; please be patient and believe in the work that Katie and her techies have done and will continue to do. She has done this in spite of having a heavy workload and a very busy family life. Full marks to her for her commitment to this site, which has been financial - she has invested her money to make this site work.

     

    The new moderating team is part of this overall new approach that has been led by Katie. We will continue these type of improvements over the next weeks and months.
