that's handy, thanks! We need to keep posting in places on reddit that will bring up lgbt topics, so we can keep open a little underground railroad for any peaked LGB people to come here. So many of our members found us just from mentions elsewhere. Lgb youth should know there's a pace for them.

Absolutely, keep letting them know we exist and where to find us.

Once I finish up all my coding/etc woes here, I'll be keeping an eye out for any mentions of us on Reddit ;)

Haha, nothing crazy. Just fixing up design/CSS, figuring out how AutoMod works now, re-creating Wiki pages, those sorts of things.

This site is like Reddit 5 years ago, so adjustments have to be made for a lack of abilities. I have to take all the code I spent the last year and a half refining, and go backwards with it.

For example, our sidebar is limited with the number of characters we can use. So, while us mods are discussing which rules to change or open up, we also have to figure out how many letters we can use to say it. Then we have to come up with templates of what should be displayed up-front and what should be explained via a link to the Wiki. And then after all of that, it has to get tested, refined, and implemented.

And even with what the sidebar is, we know there are more things we want to do with it to make it cleaner and easily usable... but before we can get there, we need to at least make it work, and the rules digestible for all of our users.

But ... psssstt ... I am preparing to reveal some tidbits about our old sub, get your drama-cap ready! Announcement coming in the next day or so!
