While politics is currently a visited topic, I personally would love for the Athenaeum, the Sci-Fi and Fantasy discussion, and the Creative Writing subforums to see more love. But that's up to you where you prefer to post.
Hm, I've noted this on other forums, but typically, you would need to get more people focused on just those topics as excessive use of one area naturally draws more people to that area as no one else uses the rest. See dying population multiplayer game's for example, first go the absurd game modes, then everyone is stuck just playing deathmatch.

Though, yeah, I'll probably spend most of my time in those areas if something catches my eye.

Can't find a proper introduction thread or subforum but here goes nothing. First of all, Hi, long time forumer, mostly from Comic Book rumbles and Naruto Forums but I've been an off and on user/lurker of SB since 2005. The uhh..descent of that site into insanity, hysteria and madness prompted me to come here and check it out.

Any way, moving beyond that, I've been heaped on and slandered and maligned the same way many of you are and it'll be interesting to see how this civil and intelligent discussion thing goes.

One thing concerns me..it seems like your TOS implies you believe you have the legal right to slander, defame and IP plunder users carte blanche..and that merely joining this site robs us of the right to defend ourselves in court should we feel your actions merit that. Say, if you decided to call someone a Nazi, dox them and then attempt to swat or get them fired or evicted using personal info you believe pertains to me taken from this site...That you'd be well within your rights to do so and would be immune from any legal repercussions.

I do not understand this, as it seems to fly in the face of both the spirit of the laws enacted to prevent LLC's from being battered by frivolous lawsuits but also the spirit of your very own mission statement.

I'd like some clarification on that..as its rather, disturbing in it's implications.

I ask this because I've had to deal with renegade members of the staff of another website colluding with users in an attempt to completely destroy my personal life, which did go as far as a dox and then beyond into an outright attempt on my life and while I don't think that'll happen here since none of you seem like maniacs.

It was a little confounding.

Any way, thank you gents and nice set up.

Welcome to the site.

Try not to crap yourself.

Honestly I have been lurking around this site for months and have been deciding on whether or not I should sign up or not. I've mainly focused on Quests & Fanfics in the extended 'community' and have tried to steer away from politics. Unfortunately that has changed in the last few years.

I'm going out on a limb and am willing to hear the other side out and state my own case. That pretty much sums up why I am here.

Okay, word of advice though, we have conflicts between users here at times

Think of a Religious-Right VS Libertarian+Economic Right+Moderate Left etc sort of thing wherein the latter has to deal with the first trying to argue for censorship or outright removal of existence of stuff like hentai because the first(those dinosaurs)think it's corrupting and everybody else is more pro-freedom and thinks we need a release and porn is harmless

Yeah, we're not exactly unified on everything here, but hey at least you can tell the first off

To be honest I don't see much of The Left here. That is why I hesitated. I personally am centrist-left coming from a moderate republican household.

Forget which ones were identifying as Left, but they just so happened to be guys who find things they disagree with

Though we do more-or-less have an amazing degree of tolerance for guys like Realm, Ioseb/Comrade Cloud, Comrade Sophia, 2BDamned, Tirrene(just the ones I can remember)accusing us of all sorts of shit and not banning them

Anyway, you may well as take your time and tour, not much frequent traffic though

Honestly, I'd love to have you on here. More voices from the left would be welcome.

Far leftist's can come debate as much as they want, but they won't because they won't have the Mods to help censor their opposition.

Yeah, and just so you know, we are "ironically" rather diverse Abhorsen's bisexual and female for one
I'm a guy. I thought I mentioned this? My avatar is from my username, which is a genderless title from a Garth Nix novel.

I should have expected that really
This place has developed a reputation as home to right wingers and therefore unwelcoming of others. While I tend to see this as false it is true that the debates here are more free and we don't have as many rules protecting feelings. If you say something stupid expect to be told so, and of course feel free to point the same out yourself to others.

A lot of people don't bother because of this reputation which is mostly created and propagated by people who want this place to fail. I simply say don't listen to second hand information from biased sources, look and find out yourself. If this place isn't your taste no problem, but find out for yourself and make up your own mind :)

IC: do not mind me just here for relaxation and conversation contray to what some authors claim I'm not a monster.

OOC: yeah I'll do that every once in a while. Some stuff will be in character some of it will just be normal me talking.

Welcome aboard, the more the merrier. The site should be diverse, too bad we can't retain some of the lefties to keep us honest and sharpen our debate skills...but it seems many of them can't stand the heat and thus flee the kitchen,

We got guys like Terthna, but by sheer comparison, he can’t be considered a Lefty
