1. A person must have a verified email first.

2. Everyone must use their real name and real photograph in their profile.

3. Politeness and truth are expected. Malicious behaviour will not be tolerated but will get the user banned. It is fine to disagree with someone, not by name calling, but by evidence to the contrary. This is particularly true of forums like astrology, climate and cosmology where some people may have very different views. Be nice, especially to those that disagree with you. 🙂 

The forum has been set up with lots of material written or posted all over the web since 2000. Also important material from earlier times. Also with articles from CRI website and blog. Some of these posts are not so great but some have links to the real stuff.

I am inviting about 30 or so people who have real knowledge about various parts of the forum to start with, and after a week or two these people may like to invite people on their private lists etc. It is OK to include some self-promotion in your introductory post to "Introduce yourself please" forum area, please just make one post to that section but you may update it later. We will appoint some moderators from the various organizations that are listed in the forum. If you know of other organizations such as traders groups of various persuasions. then you make a reply to this post so that we can consider inviting them also.

On a monthly basis we will post cycles news to various categories, add new and old videos and articles and hopefully do interviews of people in the cycles world. Members with specialist knowledge are welcome to join in with this weekly cycle.

It is possible to have the forum appear on your own web site - Luke will post about how to do this in this forum.

I am very grateful to Luke Tomes and David Katzmire for valuable assistance in getting the forum operating and to the people in various other organizations who have agreed to take part.

Please enjoy and let us make a valuable resource for others that come along later.
