Oh goodness yes, XK - I hope it was obvious I was bantering along, not making a formal declaration about what LN requires?

All this talk of LN is confusing me...

Seriously though, I'm really looking forward to the grand opening.

Gypsy is wrangling the last item on the go live list, the Design. We're bringing the LN Mods up to speed now (they are all so far Temple regulars) on the separate but equal modland.

The discussions are stellar and I'm wicked excited.

Design is looking awesome so far. Once that is in place, it really shouldn't be that far from opening its doors.

Having only really relied on books for teaching and not having much of an outlet for talking about esoterism and spirituality, you don't realise what a joy finding Barbelith was for me. I had seen it now and again but mostly lurked a bit or outright ignored it because of the locks on membership and/or application processing.

Then I read more and learned a bit more and researched more and inquired more. I finally took the plunge and requested membership here. Finally I would be able to have a place where I could test ideas and learn from those with similar interests!

I didn't lurk enough to hear the not too distant rumbling of what may be a drawn out death rattle, it seems...

So much potential here: Still... (Ever the optimist) and there are still good people with interesting thoughts, well written. But my interest always has always lain with the Temple and the silence in there is deafening.

Please say that Liminal Nation is open to new applicants...

I must echo that thought! I am both new to the Barbelith and new to esoterism/magick/paganism in general and was quite pleased to find my membership request FINALLY accepted... though dismayed to find Templers on their way elsewhere.

Please, please let Liminal Nation be open to new applicants.

When LN goes live there will be a membership application page that has a text box the applicant uses to explain why they wish to join. That text along with the application request is automatically sent to the Trustees. The content is taken very seriously (not the applicant's grammar in particular so no worries if English is your second language). The Trustees approve membership based on thoughtful intelligent presentations of why the applicant wishes to join the LN community specifically.

Yeah. LN will be open to anyone who is prepared to write a short application telling the forum moderators a bit about themselves and why they are interested in joining the board. The point of LN is to develop all of the things that barbelith temple does really well, but without the technical limitations of this place. One of the major technical limitations of barbelith is its lack of an effective banning facility which has resulted in it being so fucking impossible for anybody to register due to the laborious applications process. LN will actually be a lot easier to join than barbelith. However, unlike barbelith, there's a bit more of a purpose to LN - which is to generate really interesting and intelligent debate on magic and related subjects - so it has certain submission guidelines for what is and is not acceptable content. Nothing too onerous, but there is an editorial policy to promote constructive and engaging debate on the site so that it is interesting to read and participate in.

LN isn't open yet. It will be soon. Watch this space for more details, as they say.

The design is fantastic and I'm jumping up and down watching it all come together. There are some amazing people throwing in to make it happen. Currently Gyrus and Mr. A are my heroes.

So...

Anything? News? Developments?

Yes Gyrus is working on implementing the new design. (He's my hero!) Once it is in and the beta testers give the thumbs up it will most likely go live.
