OK, folks, I WAS the temporary host of Creative Speculation. [View all]

And temporary means just that - once the site gets wiped clean, so do any of my super powers. I'll have to apply again to be a permanent host. From what I understand, this is mainly about working through bugs in the software and finding the best mix of forum and group topics. It is not about the direction the admins want the forum to go.

Creative Speculations is a group, but it welcomes posts from both the creatively speculative and those wanting to be constructively critical of such speculation. Civility is paramount in such a situation. Like E.T. said, Be Good.

Any regular in the soon-to-be-old September 11 forum know me as someone from the constructively critical side of most creative speculation about 9/11 and some other topics. As long as I'm temp host and if I'm made a permanent host, I promise that I will be as stubbornly committed to objectivity in forum matters as I am stubbornly committed to pointing out what I consider grievous flaws in the 9/11 alternate theories.

ETA: The beta test is over. No one currently is a host. We're talking about it right now.
