Whoa, I thought this thread was dead, but my old words still seem to stir some minds. I know that any plan such as this will take months if not years to complete, I simply put this up to find out what I could improve on with my ideas, and find supporters to help convert minds when the time comes. I am slowly working myself into a few other communities, but I will need time and help if this will ever come to fruition.
Miss Karen, I'm sorry, but I do not believe I said that I wanted to change your site, if I did, I could not find where I said it. I like your site the way it is, it helps people just getting into energy working learn the basics and helps the community grow through it's actions. This site is necessary, and I hope it does not change.
And addressing one of the many points Unborn said, I am but human, and have erred. To me psionics is simply another name for an energy worker, but I see from his writings that my words will burn in the ears of others, for I am but blind to how others interpret words.

UPC has fallen due to no one wanting to pay the bills anymore. Chemical: You are welcomed to try this, but I'm not. I know this has not worked in the past, but maybe you are different and can pull it off. In the meantime, psiworld is staying the way it is until I see a huge reason to change it. what about me changing This site? you know, fix it up and add new features, like better profile thingys and whatnot? and have the main site and the forum in the same website instead of having to sign into them separately.

I can't add things. Only proboards can do that and they don't like to. As for making the two sites the same, trust me you do NOT want me to use the freewebs forum. It really really sucks.

I'm not much of a psion yet, but I believe a site like that would help many people. However what J.K. said about he relations won't allow it to work. If they can't get along with people they don't like to advance themselves and others, theirs not much hope of that. All we can do right now is help the people who come here. The more people that learn psionics the quicker it will spread.

So will this be a psion only community? If so list the main sites or communities which will be involved. If it's the metaphysical community or energy community in general, same thing. Then I will see if this has any chance of working at all. Are you planning on creating a main site with articles from all of the communities involved? Like an archive? If so this will be good but extremely confusing since there will be multiple ways to do things. For the forums will the leaders be the admins and top people represented from other sites? If this is so then they will no doubt argue on what they view is right and some people are so set in their ways that they are unwilling to change. Organizations like psifight are okay with 'leaving sites like psiworld' alone. Oh and by the way, don't ask until you plan on going through with this. But those organizations will not like the articles mixed in with their views. The point is if this will actually work the leaders of the sites will have to have a big talk, along with some of the major 'players' in the communities, about what they are going to include, how they will organize it, etc. And for those communities which refuse to go to your 'seemingly right' views? Will you leave them out of it as others? Well their communities will thrive without and it will probably create bigger wars, and ones where they are none.
If the people from psiworld are planning on making a site like this first they have to at least become neutral or liked by ALL parties. Yes this may mean major revisions and compromising but if psiworld and its members want people to get along they need to do their side of the bargain. Or are we going to leave psiworld out of this in which the discussion on this community is taking place.
I'm just saying if you are going to try this make things neutral first. Before even thinking about a new community.

Yeah it would be a metaphysical site. Unless only uniting the strictly psionics sites.

Ahaha..
The reason why I came back when I saw this is because I don't want an innocent, cute community or people to be thrown in the trash and smudged in the mud. It will be an epic fail.. Actually. Tell me what you know of what's out there and if you don't know at least as much as I do then you've got a lot of work to do because I'm just opening the curtain, and am a newbie in everything I discover.

no, i meant makeing it one like neopets.
the main site and the boards are on the same site, and they all flow together, unlike some other sites where the forums and the main site are two different thing

Like PsionicsOnline? The URL says "www.psionicsonline.com/forums" instead of "psionicsonline.proboards[insertnumberhere].com/index.cgi"?

Like I said. What do you know other then some psionics? At least in multiple theories from several sources? Tell me and I'll tell you if others are likely to cooperate. They won't if your ignorant of what the other views are, view this site as be all and end all "reliable" source for energy manipulation. This community just has a collective idea on it. It may not be right, and you should look for multiple opinions before putting all your eggs in one basket. No offense meant on psiworld, but it's true on all communities.

no, the psionics online thing looks like 2 different sites, the article section and the forum dont flow together.
im talking about getting our own domain name. and building the site from scratch

We've already sorta shot down the idea of a domain name. My argument (or was it Intrigue's?) is that a domain is nice and all, but not a necessity, and while we are on a budget we should stick the necessities. Good luck doing it yourself though. It sounds like a good idea, I'd definitely join.

The only way this would not be a horrible idea is if it had these guidelines and rules.
1. Use common discussion sense. 2. Always test, and improve methods so that you can make them work, or work better.
Number two includes being open to any idea and following what they say is needed to achieve those results. This may vary but those two simple rules will allow for this community and will eliminate most junk. If the best metaphysical users in the 'world' test, and work together with everyone, and prove someone's theory impossible, the person will have to do it themselves and work with their own methods if it actually is true, or if it is justifiably fluff then it will be discarded as so and those who wish to work with it can rot if they so choose. The use common sense includes basic rules of any chatroom or forum which will keep idiots out. Sure there will be a lot of flame wars in this but in such a community the arguments will be proven wrong, and the wrong ideas will be smothered unless they can be brought up and shown to have a possibility of working.
Don't get me wrong. This would, and would be meant to in the end help everyone grow and get closer to the truth or at least working methods, then normal. As for the poor little newbies, there can usually be basic ideas for the newbies to build upon themselves.
