Welcome to the AoA forums!
This is an introductory post to any present and potential members.
This forum is intended towards discussion of things of a paranormal or Extraterrestrial nature. This includes anything, Ghosts, Astral Projection, Experiences with demons, religion, paranormal abilities, sceptisicm, UFO sightings, Starseeds, the ascension, absolutely anything at all.
If you want to get something off your chest, or say something off-topic, go right ahead, im not going to be police the posts.
This forum is no intended solely for members of the AoA. Anyone at all can post here. The AoA is an organisation devoted to Freedom basically, and the Ascension which we believe will occur in 2012.
The main page is at:
www.angelsofapocalypse.bravepages.com
But this Forum isnt going to be a recruiting ground at all, and I wont hound people with propaganda and posts intended to get them to sign up.
Another main thing about this forum is its administration. I am a strong advocate of an anarchist style system, ruled by the PEOPLE. I will NOT use my power unless it is ABSOLUTELY neccessary. I hate control of all kinds.
People have different opinions, and not everyone agrees with them. With a forum like this, where people could be discussing religion, or complex issues concerning ethics, there is going to be disagreements. I have disabled the censored words filter, so you can say what you want, but if a post is completly hateful, and not beneficial in any way, I will move it. I wont delete it, I hate the very idea of doing that. I will move it to the deleted items board, where if people choose, they can view it. This mean that the person who posted the offensive material still has his or her voice heard, but people can choose not to listen to material they may consider offensive. Having said that, I wont delete a post unless it is completly neccessary.
Only admins can post in the admin forum, but unlike other forums, members can view the posts. This ensures that the admins can discuss things relating to board administration, and members can freely view the board to prove theres no conspiracy going on.
Any suggestions or complaints can be made via the Feedback forum, or you can contact any of the admins via chat programs or IM, and we WILL listen, and take your ideas on board. (No pun intended )
I realise that with this kind of Free system, there is the potential for this forum deteriorating into a cess-pit of negativity and bickering, and that a more authoritarian "regime" would be better.
But im going to trust the people. This is going to be your forum. If it works, fantastic, this can be a beautiful thing. We can make it work... Just try to remember, every opinion is different, no two people will ever agree completly, try to understand that... If this forum doenst work...Well, lets hope it doesnt come to that...

Ok thats it...
