Forums Archived

New eras and forms of work ask for their own kind of emphasis and focus, and now the time has come to leave one of our most visible discussion platforms behind. The forums served us for thirteen years, and have now been closed and archived. The vastness, depth and value shared in the discussion is nevertheless something we want to preserve for everyone to access in the future, so the archives will be left open in their old address. We thank you all who participated in the discussion.

The point is to make it easier for newcomers to apply a membership in a lodge the established way and pace of action could perhaps fit the applicants own will for active participation. If an interesting lodge don’t have as active status as one would hope, it might be wise to consider applying membership from another one, or multiple lodges at once.
