Gazerwolf giving Tirnanoc.org fresh start, asks for ideas

Content warnings: For this post, none. For the mentioned web-site: profanity.

July: Gazerwolf, administrator of the Tirnanoc.org web-site, took that site down for maintenance. In the site’s latest version, it had been a blogging site for otherkin. Spam bots overwhelmed it. The site didn’t have much content to save. Gazerwolf wants to redesign the web-site so that it’s for otherkin in some way, but wants ideas from other people.

This post was made with Gazerwolf’s permission over e-mail.

You can send any ideas to gazer at tirnanoc dot org.

Gazerwolf, have you read the "Identify unmet needs in the community" thread in the Werelist forum? It's specifically therians, rather than otherkin, but it could help bring up some ideas for what to do.

No I hadn't even known of the forum. Thanks! I'm checking the thread now.

Wow, that's a tough one. Right now, I honestly can't think of anything new that could be done with it that would compare with what it's been in the past. I do think something should be done with it, though, and I applaud Gazer for looking to keep it a site for otherkin in some way. I hope he gets some good suggestions.

I've turned TirNanOc into a forum.

No sections yet, looking for suggestions on that front.

Cool! It's good to see the grand opening, and the continued vitality of the TirNanOc domain.

Some other forums you might look at for inspiration:
Otherkin Alliance (although just to air a personal peeve here, I have always been annoyed that they class elves and faery not only together, but under "elementals")
Otherkin Phenomena
Embracing Mystery
Otherkin Community

Some defunct ones on archive.org:
Foundation for Awakening & Enlightenment / Faeborn & Astral Entities
Other-Haven
Ethereal Forest (though personally I am not fond of the model of sub-forum names that are just decorative and don't at least include the topic in the title, cf. Other-Haven's "Elven Oratory", etc.)
Lair of the Hidden

Thank you. I'll check them out.
