Oops, I meant to mention that I would love to see it done more as countries than just thinking in terms of cultures. This would explore things even more. I guess I am thinking here more of a thread similiar to the around the world thread that someone and I tried on another board, but to a great depth. Shan  |

Humanology, Shan Any thread like that is Anthropology - which is a PART of Humanology |

Just to expand on the point - Humanology, as I define it (And as it's my word it's a bit hard for anyone to dispute the point ;D) covers anything and everything to do with people and the way they relate to the world |

Thanks Elliot. Then if Phil and I decide to start a thread like that or if anyone else does, they will know where to put it. I wasn't quite sure, because of the subjects that you guys have been discussing over there. Shan |

We've only touched on a tiny part of what Humanology is over there, Shan I'll get to more of it in time. I just need to finish the 'Cycle Of Civilisations' notes first, to provide context for everything else... |

Yeah, people mainly use that board to vent their anger right now. Hehe. It is a cool idea though to do a 'Around the World' series. A kind of online journey, in lieu of the real experience (for now) |

Think we could add any more spice to the Humanology thread, Phil. ;D What we tried on the other forum was only highlights, places to go and things to see with some food, myths, ghosts and shuch thrown in? The thing I would like to do would be to cover more things like, art, music, food, houses, myths and legends, etc. Some of the stuff we came up with was really interesting. The thing is that no one else seemed to be interested in it which made it alot harder to do. When you do something like that, it is nice to get feed back on stuff so you will know what people are interested in and also to have them throw in things that they are interested in also. It make for a more interesting thread and more fun to do when you have people to talk to about it. I don't know if there are enough people interested in doing something like that or not. It is worth thinking about though. Shan |

For your writing boards...
We have a story writing board, but no poetry writing board.
I suggest a poetry writing board.

Why D? Do you write poetry? Would love to read some of it if you do. Shan |

Well, there's a poet thread in the Art & Literature thread *shrugs*
And Shantara herself started it, heh.

Poetry forum... Definitely an interesting idea, and if we have enough poetry writers, then well worth adding, yes Good thinking, Mr D Other than DragonLord, who here actually writes poetry (In English  and would be prepared to share it? Anyone? |

I have no idea how much he has done, but Tsel has posted some of his work in the thread "Let's Share Some Poems" thread that Phil mentioned above. He is the only other one that I know of. Shan *Oh, wait almost forgot, Phil threw in one too. * ;D |

Hmmm... I think I shall adapt the 'Your Stories' board to allow for poetry, too. That would seem to make sense As it seems we have a number of poets amongst us |

Post by Shan on Jul 13, 2005 4:51:35 GMT
That sounds like a great idea, Elliot. I've read some of what these guys have written and they are good. It would be nice for them to have a place to post their poems if they would be willing to share with us. Hopefully they will. Shan |

I used to write poetry, a long time ago. Don't expect to see any of it on here, though Most of it was juvenile rubbish. |

Post by Shan on Jul 13, 2005 5:03:49 GMT
Sorry, Elliot, I find that very hard to believe. I have read a good number of your stories and I just don't see any kind of rubbish coming from you. You really ought to share at least one of your poems with us, so we can judge for ourselves. Shan |
