    Both Lab Rats' Sanctum and the Students' Archthesis on Uni-Verse are now operational.

    I'll alter the name and description of the students group if anyone has a better idea. Have fun and start joining. :p

    The Student's whut? Does that mean it only applies to University students?

    If so, why not a 6th Form Group or College Group? Or a High School/Secondary School group?

    Oh, :doh: I forgot that in English the word student means more than just someone going to a faculty of an University or College.

    My mistake. The group is open to all students, not just University ones. Highschool and all other education programs fit the description.

    I'll fix the group name and description. Thanks, Fairie.

    I thinking of changing this to Molecular Microbial Geneticist, just to make it even more convoluted :p

    It's also so true, which makes it even funnier (sadder?) :D

    So, are social groups kind of like mini imageboards?

    Sounds snazzy. How about an IRC RPers groups?

    (also, what's the deal with friends? Is there any change/benefit).

    Good to see new things coming to SP, anyhow. This one shows some potential :)

    Aikanaro, the main thing about friends currently is that you can make picture albums only visible to friends and contacts. Check the main upgrade thread for more info on that.

    8peeps came to me and suggested a group for Left-Hand Path beliefs systems - E.G LaVeyan Satanism, Church of Satan, First Satanic Church, Theistic Satanism, Paganism/Dark Paganism and some forms of Luciferianism, amongst others.

    I give my full backing for 8's idea of a moderated, private group to discuss those beliefs between believers, and keep the group to left-hand paths - the last thing I want to see is a huge barbecue between left and right-hand believers, so sorry, Chev, that means you won't be able to share your arguments with us. We just want to chill out and have casual conversations about our beliefs.

    Editing the paganism group to that would make sense. Just FYI, the groups can currently only be made private to the extent that people need an invitation to join, but all discussions are still visible to everyone.

    martaug, if that was serious, then you've completely missed the point of the faiths under discussion. I would advise reading up on them before trying to poke fun at them.

    Invitations have the goal of making sure the group won't be turned into a huge barbecue by right-hand preachy elitists. Truth be told, if all discussions are visible to everyone, I'm also cool with that - maybe that will get people to do a bit of reading before poking fun of what we believe in.

    Nice to see ignorance flourishing in the face of reason and all :rolleyes:

    How delightful one so educated and well versed can inform everyone in a highly intellectual and informative post on the inherent evil of religions of the Left Hand Path. You sir, must truly be a scholar! Thank you for pointing out such importance and clarifying all matters between the Christian and Satanist faiths.

    We truly have just read a genius, ladies and gentlemen.

    Actually, I think that's pretty amusing and a valid point...I'm glad someone here appreciates the irony.

    I don't think so. I'm tired of the giant barbecues of Left-Hand vs Right-Hand preachy elitists. Obviously we're dealing with right-hand preachy elitists who have made no efforts to understand what the left-hand is all about and I'm tired of disserting about it.

    I'm going to leave it at that before I get nasty and start throwing barbs.

    Sounds like one side is "preaching" but it's not coming from the "right." Anyway no one is trying to be offensive, DotW. No need to take it that way, really. We're all cool here, my man. :)
