One of My fav Sites….

1) The different names are just different sections. The Attic is for girls only; we tend to discuss things that we don’t want the boys to know about or just things that are geared for girls. The Garage is for boys only. Since I’ve never been on there I don’t know what they talk about. Probably nonsense and things against girls is my guess. The Cafe is for different studies, I think. Right now it’s just for the “Don’t Waste Your Life” study. The Living room is for both girls and boys to discuss things in. The Prayer Room is a place where Rebelutionaries can post their prayer request and we can pray and encourage each other. The Bulletin Board is where they post time-sensitive announcements and offers. The Armory is a place to share information and resources. A Greenhouse is a place where you can post if you want to start a new thread and only you and the moderators can see it.

2) Usually the thread will have questions and rebelutionaries will answer them, give advice, tell what they believe on the subject, etc. It is formatted kind-of like a blog where the main post is at the top and then everyone else posts their comments.

3) No don’t worry, you don’t have to write an essay for every post! I think they just mean you aren’t supposed to write one letter posts like on most forums. They just want us to have some substance in what we say and not to just be chatting with each other (if you want to just talk to a member though, you can do that through private messages).

4) A thread is basically just an online conversation. It’s actually a lot like this blog — different places where you can post a comment, each place dealing with a certain subject.

I hope that helped! If you have any more questions or want me to clarify something better, just ask! I really hope you join the forum though. It is a wonderful place for rebelutionaries to encourage one-another and share ideas and just to make great friendships!

First of all, in the window that says select a forum, there are different names, like the Cafe, the Attic, and the Greenhouse. What does that mean? I mean, is there a different topic for each forum, or is it a specific age group?
Second, how do people discuss things? Is it like the blog where everyone comments in a row? Is it some kind of live chatting?
Thirdly, in the membership guidelines, it says that they are more concerned with quality than quantity in member’s posts. Does that mean you have to write an essay-like post?
Fourthly, what is a thread?

Thank you so much Sarah for being willing to answer my questions. I have never been in a forum, or anything similar, so I don’t know ANYTHING. But it sounds like a good place, and I’d like to join. Thanks again for helping me!

P.S. Brett it’s so good to see your comments again! Enjoying the summer break? Though for you and your family you probably don’t get much of a break!

Dont waste your Dont Waste Your Life reading group, fam. Dig in.

And you can say the that “a reading group will be reading and discussing Don’t Waste Your Life.
That should avoid confusion.
