I find that this forum is very low on activity because, well, it’s one topic. Sure there are lots of subtopics, but it all comes back to intentional community. What if this became something beyond that? Similar to reddit or tumblr, but with more focus on relationship instead of content. I think we need to broaden things a bit to hobbies, education, slice of life things. Is this something the admins can foster? Or is it just the people? Let’s discuss

“…Let’s discuss.”
OK, some / a lill. So~
“…it all comes back to intentional community…”
which is a very large topic in and of itself. For me? everything is right there
“…but with more focus on relationship instead of content…”
ok, I like that. Ck out 1 of my few on the whole forum, to you I believe. Something to the effect of/ like: “…dont really care the communities’ “intention” the relationships there are what matters most to me. I can enjoy putting my efforts into whatever they have going on (row crops, building maintenance/new development, retreat center admin or wrk shop presentations, political action, the daily activity) it is the spirit’n nature of how that is provided or after off site personal income gathering (if the alternate mode) how we relate to one another ‘once home’ - that makes up one’s life.” Kinda like ic (content’n process) the i versus the c. Relationship = process (community); content = intention(al)

While I agree that this forum needs a lot more activity and I’d love that, I think that intentional community, at least in principle, should be a big and dynamic enough topic. I’m glad that’s our focus here. I’m also on permies.com, which is a permaculture forums website. They have an intentional communities section, and I love that, and there’s other topics there too. I think if more people who live in, or hope to live in, comunity join us here on ic.org then we can get more discussion going. I’ve been more proactive lately about telling people over at permies and on the facebook community groups I’m in about ic.org.
There are, for a redundant start, many sites that expree homestead lands noth aquired, & few mentioning many of them claimed by businesses; likely against such laws and still legally claimable - hopefully working with the business owners to keep them from losing & help take the greed from those whom illfully keep. Likely needing lawyers and realestate agants willing to put more than their paycheques in such lines of. There are also places within mountain ranges that the governments (in other nations too) noth reacheth; please keep in mind of possible Military bases - start seeing unusual activity of aircraft, hopefully it isn’t to late to show any good faith (never white flags (White Flag -Dido (please forgive me if observed as advertisement instead of encouragements))).
There also is a section in the forums for suggestions; many if us whom noth hath much ado likely could offer at least volunteer positioning to help keep organizationals abound. Sections could include where advertising communities be (noth needeth required for those whom wish anonymity). Another needeth be emergency shelters/housings with 24 hour doors & properly staffed, perhaps with opportunities of work [programs] for transitionals & weather factors. Seasonal & unethical/immoral assistances needn’t be listed except for sagacious avoidances until betterments. Internet/cellphone assistances needeth be held the same (5G is capable of accessing 20+ GigaBytes of datum persecond, & home internet is still stuck at Gigabits & less than 4 GigaBytes/second. FoodStamps still advertises that job searching applications still be of needeth yet, how many still hath without such interactions. Other resources, & sagacious surveys of (identificational advocates) addressments also likely be of needeth. If this to be a community of communities, which rightful supports be? With proper content, be needeth relationships; if too much usless/inaccurate informations adorn, community structural integrity. If noth already, perhaps community hubs for such intermittent community travel/transfer. If i were to be apart of a community, I’d want many teams trained in CERT for [inter]national emergencies & however else assistances within & bordering such disasters (obvious factors of populated assistances & qualifications & etc…). Fostering & adopting within communities would be more than sagacious (obvious affordabilities) with intents of educatements & etc…
If noth the forums, perhaps sections added within the website’s listings/pages for any additional cluster refrainments; obvious [& redundant] observances would be beneficial for beseaches. Likely more to follow.
