Right from when i started this site, one feature that i wanted
to add was interactivity. With that i mean a place where we, that
is us transsexuals, can talk to each other.
Privatly.
Anonymously (if that is your wish).
Honestly.
Where we can share our feelings and experiences. Where we can
get support from other transsexuals, who are further along in their
great journey. Where we can help our younger sisters and brothers
understand what's going on with them. Where there's place for our
joys and tears, where we can shout out our happienes, or vent our
anger.
A place that is, finaly, ours.
To do this i propose to create a Bulletin-Board. A place where
you can read the messages of our sisters and brothers, and what
others thought about their ideas. Where you can post your own messages,
so that others can read them, and profit from your insight, or offer
you advice, or just plain hugs.
For the time being this will be a simple affair. On one hand a
form, where you can write your own message. On the other hand the
board, where you can read what has allready been written, and reply
to those messages.
I would like to be able to say that there is some wonderful script
that will instantly add what you have written to the bulletin-board,
but unfortunatly there isn't. I have no prior experience in web-design,
and don't know any of the programming languages that are currently
in use. Heck, i don't even know HTML, just enough to correct it
if my web-editor doesn't do what i want it to. Also, i'd probably
have to find a different server fo host this site on, because geocities
won't (to my knowledge) let me use any scripts not officialy theirs.
So for the time being your posts will be sent to a designated e-mail
account, from where i will retrieve them (as far as possible on
a daily basis) and add them manualy to the proper threads.
I won't edit or censor your posts, don't worry about that.
But what i will do is edit out any hate-mail, harrasement, commercial
posts (unless i feel that they are by companies that realy help
our comunity), and stuff like that. I guess that as i write this
it's not yet necesarry to say that i won't permit any flameing or
slamming either, but as it is i won't permit any of this.
Truely gratefull for any input,
Ruby
