I was asked a question today that I knew was inevitable, but I'm not sure how to answer and would like some feedback.
Can non-Creekers be involved with the Trading Post?
There are people who, for various reasons, have moved to other churches, but still have ties to Athey and would like to keep participating on the Trading Post.
Part of me says yes. Athey, after all, is not an exclusive club that shuns people who have switched churches. If former Creekers still want to play give and take with their old church family, then I think that's fantastic.
Part of me says no. I wonder how I'd deal with non-Creekers, particularly ones who know their former Creeker friends use the site, and want to jump in the mix. Maybe it wouldn't be an issue, but it's something to consider.
Part of me says we could do it now and clamp down later if we need to.
All of me says I have preggo brain and can't make too many decisions in a day. :)
So, as is the usual drill when there are Trading Post decisions to make, give me your feedback (you don't need a Blogger account to leave a comment) and I'll go with whatever the majority says.

That's tough. I would assume there aren't TOO many people that want to be involved that don't go to athey. I say let them be involved. If it becomes a problem you can always change that rule.
I agree...If you have a way to know whom if a non athey creeker, and those non athey creekers don't accumulate too much in numbers, than I say why not. If you find too many accumulating change the rules.
But really what ever is the easiest for you since you rock at doing this!
I would say let others participate I would think they know of someone at Athey so I would say lets not be "exclusive".
