Places of discussion

Is there anywhere else apart from here and Barbelith that you can discuss things in the same vein as RAW/Grant Morrison/Douglas Rushkoff/various other 'occult' shit e.t.c?

I can't really be arsed wading through the hundreds of pages dedicated to paganism/wicca whenever you type the word occult into the internet and wondered if anybody had any suggestions?

Barbelith wont even let me register, so I would strike them from the list too.

What kind of "discussion" are you looking for?

Ok, this has got to be the most fucked up registration process in existence.

Also, while searching for its website I discovered that Barbelith is actually a word Morrison created.  Which is extremely bizarre, when I read it I immediately thought of one of the terms for heaven in gnosticism. It does not, it seems, actually appear anywhere in the gnostic texts though.

I gave them links to me here, my blog and my account on another forum...and they never got back to me.

So fuck'em and their circle-jerk forum.  If that's not good enough, probably nothing short of being Grant Morrison himself is.

Linking them here may have been a mistake.

Linking them here may have been a mistake.

Maybe.  But they specified a known web presence.  I would have thought a blog that had run for 2 years, being the admin of a forum and [classified] may have qualified me as having invested myself on the web.

But apparently not.

Frequency 23 looks like nobody has posted since 2007.

Chaos Never Died... I think it might be easier to have an intelligent conversation in 4chan.

CND desperately needs a jackass filter and its own version of /r9k/

yeah it's too bad. I was hoping that if enough of us went over there we could make it cooler, but the low traffic is killing it.
Luckily Danny's not trying to overmod it anymore. It's not so bad if you stay away from the occult boards.

[Cain]

Linking it to /b/ would get the traffic up...I'm not sure traffic is so much the problem as "idiots using anonymity to be pricks and nothing else*" which makes people tend to not bother.


*We're pricks too, but when we're not, we tend to have interesting discussions, or at least more amusing graphics

last I heard from a (non discordian) friend who is a member at Barbelith is that it was kind of dying a slow death. Partly something to do with a really complicated scheme for arriving at bans (something about a number of higher-status members plotting getting together and voting, IIRC). This was a few months ago.
