Your very own usergroup

Post by **otseng** » Fri Jun 02, 2006 12:17 pm

Now, you can have your very own usergroup. Post in this thread the name that you'd like. I'll make sure the name conforms to the standards of this site and deduct 2500 tokens from you. Then, you'll be the owner and member of that usergroup. By default, people will be able to freely join your group. Or you can choose to confirm membership requests.

To request your personal usergroup, provide the following:
- Name of usergroup (40 character limit)
- Description (255 character limit)
- Note if you want to confirm membership from others (default will be no)

For an additional charge of 10,000 tokens, you can also have your own subforum for your usergroup. Please provide the following info:
- Name of usergroup (40 character limit)
- Description (80 character limit)

Subforum activity requirement:
- Subforums must maintain some activity in it. Subforums that do not have any activity for six months can get removed (posts made to simply bump threads do not count). There will be no refunds given for any subforums removed.

Additional restrictions:
- Do not add people to your group without their permission. Otherwise I will delete your group.
- Descriptions cannot point to personal websites. If a link is found to point to inappropriate and/or offensive material, the group will be deleted.

May I suggest "Eastern Christian"?

The church I'm currently attending with my husband (I'm not a believer but he is) is an Eastern Catholic church. They are very similar in doctrine, theology and liturgy to the Eastern Orthodox. What I like about the Eastern variety of Christianity is that it is (or can be) way more open to doubt and questioning. (Example: Frank Schaeffer, former evangelical, convert to Orthodoxy & author of a book called "Why I Am an Atheist Who Believes in God".) I don't see a whole lot of threads here about Eastern Christianity and even though I don't believe in it, I do think it's an attractive option in many ways. Also, though I'm nominally Catholic, I do tend to self-identify as Eastern rather than Roman, when pushed against the wall.

Anyway, that's my suggestion! Sorry to be so long-winded, just had my first 12 cups of coffee.

One of the qualifications for making a user group is that you have to be a member of the group. Did you wish to identify as Eastern Christian?

For Eastern Orthodox, Eastern Catholic, and others interested in or practicing Eastern Christianity.

Is that OK?

I would like to propose a user-group AND a sub-forum entitled "Physical Fitness and Health" (if I have the necessary tokens).

"Group for members who emphasize physical fitness and healthy living / eating in their lifestyle"
