This website is designed around making it easy for folks to meet, communicate, and interact. One of the special features of this design is the interest section of your membership profile.

Here's how it works... Let's say that you are into uhm, 'music'. When you create your member profile (from 'My Account' on the menu), list it as an interest. You may list other interests also, separated by commas.

These will automatically become website forums if they aren't already. Now go to the Forum list. There's now a music forum (if it wasn't there already).

So tomorrow if Bob comes along and is into music, there is a greater chance that he will sign up and that you will meet and perhaps discuss this common interest, all because he found that there's a 'music' forum on the site. Maybe you don't have anything to write about music today. That's OK. Maybe Bob does...

Maybe I do.

This website has existed in one form or another since 1999, mostly as a static web page or two. It has been visited by thousands of curious web travellers who have stumbled across a link somewhere and has provided a place for me to share my life with friends and family. In early 2006 I decided to make the site interactive.

What you see is the result of that effort. It has been reborn as a meeting place and community website.

First the ground rules:

1. Anything depicting sex with either animals or children will not be tolerated.

2. Hacking/cracking or otherwise abusing the site software in nefarious ways is forbidden.

3. We also will not tolerate commercial spam and postings created only to promote other sites. 

Any of these activities will result in your ejection from this community.

Register here! Membership is easy and totally free!

All of your personal profile details are optional, with the exception that you must have a username and password in order for us to identify you. You also must supply a valid email address to register. Email addresses are not used by us for any marketing purposes, and are never shown to other site users. 

One membership option is to choose 'invisibility' where you may lurk around the site and check out some of the features available to registered members but without showing up on the Members page. Please be aware that should you choose this option, it only protects your member profile from public viewing. Active participation in weblogs, chat rooms, forums, etc. will tend to expose the fact that you exist.

Membership allows you to actively participate in and create weblogs, chat rooms, forums, photo albums, create news feeds, and much more.

Avatars may be useful for some site activities, such as profiles and article comments. You may choose from something in our avatar collection or select your own. In order to be used as an avatar, it must be a common image format (JPEG, GIF, or PNG) and 100 or pixels or less in either dimension. Upload it in the image uploader and from there, select the individual image for viewing. If the image fits the size constraints, you will be shown 'Use as avatar' as one of the image options.

If you've got any questions, bug reports, whatever, feel free to ask. I'm Mike.

This is a community site. If you don't like the content, make some of your own.
