Crazy Idea & Slap To Face!

First off - check the LIMITED OFFER near the bottom of this
Newsletter.

Recently, I was thinking (Yes, I burnt out doing that) of opening up
Another Community where the rules were not as intense as this
Community. The reason for this was because of some domains I bought:
[Removed]

I was looking to make use of them and my mind came across using it
For another set of Boards. I felt that I could create a rant
Community where people could just express themselves with spelling
Errors, off topics and a dozen smilies if they wanted.

Then... I slapped myself in the face - it occurred to me that I do
Not need MORE work! Besides, we did that before with the lite
Version, so why repeat when we have something good already?

However, I do want people to have a ranting place... So guess what I
Am going to do... FREE Community Blogs for EVERYONE! Look out for
Details coming out soon.

Congrats to the winner(S) of the Member / Mod of the Month

More people voted this Month which is good, but I still would like to
See more participation in this. Check to see if someone voted for you
Here Source 8 .
By the way, please DO NOT vote for JB, the thought is nice, but it
Clearly says not to do that on the Vote Page. Thanks.

Many Changes

Please take careful note of all the following changes:

1. The Private Boards section has been moved up closer to where the Upgraded Boards and Welcome section is at the top of the Index.

2. The Private Member Blogs (as they are now called) are now within the Private Boards section.

3. A New Board has been created called, "Public Member Blogs", hence the name change in #1.

The Site Map has been updated to reflect these changes.

for the Member or Moderator that you feel excelled.

100,000 Posts, that is how much we are heading to by the end f this
month. This is significant because it means that there will be
100,000 constructive messages as opposed to Posts with just a smiley
or other silly net talk that has no enlightening purpose. I thank you
for your intellectual contributions whether great or small.

Emperor of Asia

We have a brand new RPG on stream: Emperor of Asia
www.textrpg.com/emperorofasia
, it is similar to Ruler of Kings, but with a different theme that is
set in Asia's feudal times. A new Board has been started with Threads
available for you to rant, post comments and so forth. Check out
Emperor of Asia https://www.textrpg.com/emperorofasia/index.php

The month of May is almost at it's end, please do not forget to vote

Recently, I got an Email from a New Member who was not sure what the
site was about because they kept getting messages about Upgrading as
they surfed the Community, so she thought she had to pay to use it.
That is NOT correct, the site is FREE, it only if you try to access
Mature Boards, or reserved features will you encounter this. If you
are joining for regular Discussion then this should not be an issue.
If you want to see what you can do within your Membership simply

Where are the real debaters? I remember some time ago Members would
come and debate an issue with real zeal, but now it seems that
Members have all but given up the fight - where have the real
debaters gone? Maybe you can't take the heat of LDS_forever, Arvhic,
Karbala, or myself?

HOT TOPICS

Defenders of Islam - Recently we have been getting many Muslims
joining the Forum to defend certain points of Islam and I am happy
for it, not so much the fact about them defending, but the fact that
we can now analyze another perspective of thought. Here are some of
the big Threads with heated debate:

Is Islam Against Democracy?
https://www.bordeglobal.com/foruminv/show.p...T/f/216/t/11757

Birth Control in Islam

Muslim Women Jailed For Aiding Incest
https://www.bordeglobal.com/foruminv/show.p...T/f/216/t/24239
- Now this one had some people coming on saying strange things and
even defending those who were saying it. Here is an Intro Thread of
one person that was deleted over this Discussion: See here
