For Everyone that has Voted on the Viper Alley poll, and for everyone that has not voted yet, please read the quote at the bottom of this post by Eric Schieve. It details some changes to the original proposal that have spawned out of necessity. In a nutshell, the post says entrance into the alley requires VCA membership. The reasoning for this change is in the quote. IF YOU WISH TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE, PLEASE MAKE A POST THAT INDICATES THAT CHANGE IN OPINION. Everyone, please continue to bump this thread so that it stays near the top of this forum. I appologize to all those who voted, this is an unfortunate change, but it still is a step in the right direction.

minors and the only real way to ensure this is to make it VCA only. Yeah, I hear the moans and groans from many of y'all. I share the feeling. I did not
want the Alley to go that way either. Bottom line though is it's a VCA only Alley... or none at all. On the positive side, I have been told that once it's VCA only entry, we can probably enjoy more freedom in there than we were originally contemplating. In a secure site we can rumble and get wild with
less censorship.
I hate like hell to change directions with this proposal seemingly in midstream. Smacks of bait and switch, but that's not the case. This is simply an
evolving idea. I was about to the point of throwing in the towel and saying screw it - that's too much of a mutation from what we originally wanted, but a
number of Alley supporters have convinced me that it would still be worthwhile in VCA-only form. Think of it as a good first step, a toe in the door from
which we can continue to grow the concept and push for changes in the rules.
I want to be democratic about this, so I throw the idea out to the public to see how y'all take it.
Asbestos underwear on.
