One Human Tribe – “Semi Open” List

In the hopes of driving up membership, One Human Tribe is now a “semi open” e-mail list.

In essence this means that while membership is open, one must still reply to the “Age Confirmation” e-mail before a new member is allowed to post to the list. Failure to do this will be met with automatic denial after fifteen days. If anyone, spambot or otherwise, gets through the first hurdle and posts objectionable material as considered by the group rules standard, then they will also be denied.

Hopefully, this will bring more people in while still keeping a safe, comfortable list.

If you’re new to this blog then please feel free to check out the list of groups via links and the signup buttons in the left sidebar.

Cheers and Thanks,
The Moderator

Group Topic Ideas

In thinking of ways to generate conversations on the groups and group blog I maintain, I’ve been thinking of topics that might get an opinion out of people.As I am going back to school very soon, Self Education is certainly going to be getting a good deal more attention than it has in the past. I’m hoping that it will grow as a place where people can discuss different methods of education as well as have interesting discussions about the various academic subjects out there.

With TR2070-DAFT, I’m going to test the waters of the more inclusive policy I set in place a few months ago by inviting people who are fans of other genres into the group. It’s my hope that it will help foster conversations and generate new ideas.

….Lunatic Fringe…. in being the only one among the things I moderate which is signifigantly different, in that it’s a group blog rather than an e-mail list, is a bit more difficult to figure out. In finding topics, I’d have to not only figure out what would get the current members posting but also figure out which topics would generate enough interest in the group that others will be interested in joining.

One Human Tribe, it seems to be growing…slowly. Now that there are a few more members, I’m going to start encouraging people to introduce themselves in addition to running topics. I won’t be posting the PGRDF or anything like that (though I won’t refuse peoples right to use it) but I might do a short survey which will be sent along with the welcoming message for new members to fill out. I will also be posting here a bit more rather than leaving it to the hope that people will post themselves and generate discussion.

I will be doing this next Saturday as that’s now my only free day until late December.

Membership Drive

I’ve been making appeals for members to the One Human Tribe group on my 360 Blog and so far, I got one from a friend via that method and another via personal invite to a friend of mine.So far, I’m being pretty general in the topics but I might start truly geeking out soon and post more obscure stuff just to test who is there. It might actually start a conversation to do so, so I guess it’s worth a shot.

TR2070-DAFT E-mail List

Busy day today. I have, after several millenia, updated the TR2070-DAFT e-mail list. I changed the main topic to general science fiction and/or sci fi appreciation and allowed for Snark. Below is the intro from the groups mainpage:Welcome to the TR2070-DAFT e-mail list. This list is open to any and all Humans. The dedication of this group is to science fiction and/or sci fi fans without regards to allegiance, fandom, or anything else so divisive. Our one purpose here is to come together in appreciation of each other as fans of science fiction and sci fi in general but the posting rules are pretty open.

The origin of this list was as a Total Recall 2070 fanlist and specifically a Karl Pruner fanlist. While the show seems to have gone the way of the Do Do, I’m in no mood to rename the list. So, let the title stand in honor of the show that could have been and if you don’t like that then hard cheese. :p

No topic is too broad or off for this list, the only rule being to remember that it is an open list and all da wittle babies might be on here. Please don’t piss their parents off and have them e-mailing me with threats of flogging with The Eternal Wet Noodle. Ok?

Oh yeah, be warned. The Snark is worshipped here as a major deity.

Cheers,
The Moderator

Self Education E-mail List

I have finally updated the Self Education list I started a while ago and it’s now public and open for members. Below is the description from the groups home page.Autodidacticism (also autodidactism) is self-education or self-directed learning. An autodidact, also known as an automath, is a mostly self-taught person – typically someone who has an enthusiasm for self-education and a high degree of self-motivation.

The primary goal of this list is to allow anyone who is interested in self learning, self education, and studying to interact with others. Here we share experiences, techniques, and information with each other with the intention of mutually supporting our educational goals.

Goofiness and a sense of humor are encouraged, nay, demanded of here. People tend to take themselves and life too seriously sometimes. :p

There are very few things that can get you kicked out of here. If you’re booted or banned, know that you must have done something truly heinous to deserve such punishment but depending on the severity of your transgression, you might be allowed back in with a flick of the Long Wet Noodle. Either that, or you’ll have to endure playing a game of Chess with me. Your choice punk. Do you feel lucky? :p

One Human Tribe

Hello there,

How are you? For those of you familiar with the history of why this blog was created, I thought a little introduction was warranted. I originally created this blog to serve as a combined homepage for a few groups I moderated but one night, in a fit of Eureka, I merged two of the groups into one mega list more in line with my principles. IRPRDD and IRPolyRDD are effectively no more. When they were active, they served as (what I had hoped would be) a meeting place for people of Pagan and Poly persuasions from all backgrounds.

My reasons for starting the Pagan and Poly lists were due to a combination of factors. First, at the time, I was both Pagan and Poly (still am Poly actually heh) and I had gotten quite a bit of flack on a few (non-pagan/poly relationship) lists about this. Rather than scream my head off at the moderator for what was honestly unfair behavior on the part of some members, I took the initiative and started the lists.

This put me in a quandry though in that I didn’t want to be a dictatorial moderator controlling each and every little thing being said, while at the same time I didn’t want the lists quiet. So, I sat back and let things run their own course and eventually (duh) everything went pretty much quiet. As they were both ‘closed’ lists to keep spambots out, a lot of people were probably run off by the extra measures used to keep the list safe and relatively free of annoyances.

So, the other night I decided to combine the two relationship lists into one big list with invitations for all to the new list, One Human Tribe.

I am still in the process of deciding whether or not I should open it up for everyone to join or keep it a closed list. On the one hand, I want people to have the freedom to post about just about anything they’d like to without having to worry about censure. On the otherhand, I would like more people to join and participate. This is what this blog is for. It allows for list news, ideas, and views while maintaining the private nature of the list for members. There will also be a signup box here for anyone who wishes to join as well as links to signifigant posts in the sidebar.

So I now invite you all to the new (old) dusty list known as One Human Tribe.
