    Default Who is “head” of the Quilting Board?

    I feel sort of embarrassed. Who is “behind or in charge” of the Quilting Board? Is it Paradise something or Rhonda? I absolutely Love it , and it is my main thing that I look at on the internet. It is my “go to” place for most of my quilting questions , but I feel totally ignorant who is behind all of this. Thank you !

    I also meant to ask who writes the Articles, also? Thank you!

    I don't know who owns the site, but PatriceJ is listed as the "Community Manager" which I've always assumed means she's an employee. QuiltnNan is listed as a moderator, which I'm guessing is an elevated user position, but both of those two would probably be able to answer your questions (better than I can!).

    I remember the Gorilla quite awhile ago but don't know if that person is still around.

    He sold the site years ago. I do wonder what he's doing now.

    Internet Brands owns this board and several others.

    For most purposes I am "in charge."
    I am not an employee.
    I do this free of charge.

    My first loyalty is to the members.
    But I do have an ethical obligation to remember and consider the owning company's needs, too.
    They are not a charity.
    More/most importantly, they are extremely sensitive to our preferences and needs.
    They bend over backward to keep us happy.
    Our liaison at the company is absolutely fantastic.

    The moderators are also all volunteers.
    Since no one person can see everything every day they work as a team to keep things straight.
    They work very hard and I will be forever grateful to each and every one of them.

    Thanks for all that volunteers do. It is much appreciated.
