This place is designed, much like the original Caritas, as a place where fandom people of all types and forms can come peacefully together and have amazing intriguing discussions in the spirit of mutual respect that doesn’t force everyone to climb into the trenches at the first sight of controversy.
I have zero experience running a board and since I want it to be a comfortable, fun place for you and also happen to know that you all have an amazing amount of nifty talents, I’m asking you for help to make it the best place it can be.
At this moment this board is just an empty shell with some compartments. This is a starting point no more, no less. It’s up to you to fill the place with interesting content and also to paint and rearrange the shell.
That’s what the construction area is for:
Do you think there should be a new subboard for your favorite non whedon tv show? For feminism, for the hardships of writing? Propose it in the structure area and if some people are interested it’ll come into existence.
Do you know your way around forum skins and web design? Do you know how to design and implement nifty emoticons? Go to the optics and layout area and let us know about it so the place can get prettied up. You know to implement additional functions to the board, even better!
We also plan to hold a banner contest in the near future! Every form of creativity is welcome here.
Do you think the board rules suck, are unfair, or need to be extended to include something that bugs you? They are not set in stone yet, post in the rules area and we’ll have a discussion, eventually a poll and then things (aside from the peace premise) can change pretty fast.
This board is starting out members only. The plan is to open the board to the general public as soon as we’ve found our footing (mods, a final version of the board rules, and so on).
That was about it, now all you have to do is go on and be merry.
