Solstice Offering
For those of you wanting something different, with a more intentionally moral approach to serving people's needs for free expression and information sharing, I offer you the very humble:
http://wholisticenchilada.thewiseturtle.com
... a forum for everything, with the goal of increasing everyone's quality of life.
Livejournal has served us moderately well for quite a while, but now it's time for me, at least, to move onto something more in line with my own ideals for a healthy, growing, human online community, with no messy profit motives and far more respect of individual's needs for freedom of speech.
I hope you'll join me in a new direction for open-ended internet discussions. Posting as a guest is obviously welcome, and if you really feel the need to post anonymously, you can use something like Anonymouse or other proxies or somesuch if you don't want me to be able to see your IP address.
Also, any suggestions for making the PHPBB configuration better is more than welcome. It's a pretty ugly and awkward program, but it's the easiest and best I could do at this point. Please be gentle with it, so that I can keep it up and running as an option for everyone! :-)
Oh, and for those who are curious, the official time of Solstice (the point where our part of the planet is at it's greatest tilt away from the sun) is at 12:30 am tonight (tomorrow morning). Happy renewal!
