◆ PARALLAX

So I found this message board through a link on another site and I have to ask -- is anyone actually here? I've been poking around and most of the forums are empty or have one post from months ago. Is this board actually active or is this one of those ghost sites nobody uses anymore?

If there are actual people here, I'm interested in discussing some of the stuff I've been reading about. But if it's just me and a bot, I'll find another community.

Yes, this thing is definitely on. We're still in early days -- the board went live just a couple of weeks ago -- so the activity is sparse. But there are real people here. You're talking to one right now.

We're building this as a genuine space for serious discussion about topics that don't fit neatly into the mainstream. Plenty of odd ideas, yes, but also good researchers and skeptics who care about evidence. We're trying to keep it civil and substantive.

Stick around. Tell a friend if you know others interested in this stuff. It takes time to build a real community, but we're committed to it. Welcome.

Glad someone's here. I'm a few weeks into a project out in my garage that is going to change everything -- can't say more yet, the wrong people read these boards. But good to know this place is real and the admins aren't asleep. I'll be around. There's work the mainstream won't touch and this looks like the place for it.

Found this place through Ostrander going on about his wheel. Bob Collins, Birmingham. I run a little swap sheet round the Midlands -- copper, coils, bar stock, rigs, and the odd thing that fell off the back of stranger things than a lorry. Just put the whole lot on the web this month, of all the daft ideas, so the lists are there if a shop will not sell you the part you actually need.

Mostly I lurk and I trade. But it is good to find somewhere that talks about the odd side of things without laughing you out of the room. I will be about.

Found this place too, and I don't think it was an accident -- I feel like I was guided here. Hello to the fellow seekers. The energies are shifting and spaces like this are going to matter more than people realize. Looking forward to sharing what's been coming through for me.

Mostly going to lurk, but hello. I'm in Pennsylvania. I saw something a couple of years back on a late drive that I've never been able to explain, and I've never had anywhere to put it. Maybe one day I'll write it up here. Glad this exists. Quiet places for strange things are hard to find.
