Human Beings, by nature, are social critters. They have a need to bond, be heard and share. A larger format cuts into that need and it loses the intimate or close nature of interacting .
It all becomes to spread out and that bond that holds a group close is missing. I think that is what`s being said here. The question is then, how to use all the forums and be able to get to know the posters while interacting.

The forum discriptions are too close in definition to one another and people get confused. By narrowing the forums and giving a wider berth in subject, we would have more posters, a closer community and a smoother labor of love in modding.

Just my onion
edited to add. I understand Randall. That was an issue but we do need to feel a sense of belonging and community by more interacting . So, how to achieve that?

juniperb... I like what you have to say very much. Describes me. I couldn't 'find' right places to post. Sometimes didn't realize that what I brought up was already being discussed elsewhere.... sorry for that confusion.

Also didn't quite understand the web of friendships....

I didn't know how FUNNY Ami Anne could be with her dry wit. I didn't understand that you were pulling each other's leg in the Divine Diversties section. I understand you all more now... what a riot!

I would wish people would nudge me to the correct places (with urls?)... Lexxigramer does that excellently, hopping around the forums. Faith did that for me recently with an invite to the porch (Thankyou so much, Faith-- I look forward to good conversations.) (Hearth).

I liked the "real" talks on sexuality [Lexxigramer, PixieJane]. I'd like to see something like that stay.

But I do understand also that younger teens could be here... and although they are precocious and 'know all things', I'd maybe feel a bit uneasy about LL if I were a parent.

There have been times I was on threads where they were sharing music... but a few were NOT music. They were explicit... like T-girls with sketch from the knees-up POV. (This was NOT in Sweet Peas either.)

That was shocking to me.... Not that I have never seen anything like it, but I was caught off-guard... Had I been with a teen or child I would have been VERY concerned. (This happened during the past few days after sensitive things I had written in threads around LL were deliberately being disrespected and mocked. This is kinda 'new' to me, so I will adjust to that now. But I don't feel that a person should have to experience that here at Linda Goodman's house.

These not-so-nice playful antics were surprising, and hurtful because I wasn't expecting it. --- but like juniperb says... you come to "know" people. With some posters, you can know them pretty much up front... with others, they 'trick' people's trust then go laugh at them elsewhere.

Then with some who seem 'out of character' it's because they have been through some hell lately... everyone deserves some latitude and tolerance and love to surround them at those times.

(I better read further down on these posts!)

Yes, that could be good... and a place for spiritual/religious/psychic experiences too?

And the birthdays-- I like the idea of indexing day. But I didn't find "everyone" being listed... maybe it was an older and abandoned yet bumped list?

How about a prayers & intention list to keep us in cover?

I would hesitate having a forum for Depression, Abuse like I've seen on other websites. Puts a HUGE responsibility on the mod.... I like the way it's being handled now--- it's not treated in a 'pathological' way, but more a folding in with the going in and out of friendships and kindness in 'normal' settings...
(Sweet Peas, Divine Diversities, YellowWax poets & artistry)

I think that depressed people feel isolated enough in a way. Perhaps a thread discussing it from time to time, but not a whole section?...... i dunno... just tossing out ideas

I would like to see a Civic Studies theme?
about social human reforms common people around our globe-- one specific about changes in Mental Health reforms -- Women's issues

Even though I've been here at LL for a while, I basically stayed in Asteroids, then Astrology2.0.

When some people left forum links to other sites (Jovian used to coax people to various discussions in other areas) I began to 'discover' other parts of LL. I think I had tried a couple posts in a few places last year, but I didn't "understand" how some of you were 'just kidding'---

So ya think we'll ever have a female Pope????

Feel like I want to say 'don't change too radically'.... there's just something so nice about the way it's laid out.

Perhaps a place where we could go 'ask-a-mod'? Discuss our interest and where to find discussions on that?

A separate topic for each username, with natal chart, gender, and age group listed. Other things they'd want to tell about themselves?

We have way more gems here now than ever before. LL used to be a very small, albeit close-knit, community, but it was quite cliqueish. That was a turn-off to Newflakes. When one got mad, they all got mad. That gang-up mentality was not conducive to growth. The quality and expertise of Astrologers here now is unsurpassed from any time in our history. People should stop living in the LL past. Onward and upward!

I was here on day One, when Linda Land was created. We were just a few people but more kept coming. Randal was in love with a petite Aquarian fairie and he had a long hair all the way to his weist. If you are lucky, he might post a pic.

It seems like LindaLand is now one of the biggest Forums on the net. Whenever i google certain astrology stuff, LindaLand pops up first in the search engines. Good job, Randall!!

Ha! You remember that? I had forgotten but now i recall it. When was the first time you came to this forum?
I wonder if there is any of the original knowflakes here. We all were so tight knitted. Mostly a girls squad. There were only a few boys.

Forgot to mention that the shape and look of this website has never been changed. It looked like that from the beginning.

I would like to see everything condisnded into less forums...

Astrology, readings, learning,chit chat,spritiual, numbers
