New Communities


If you have any idea of a new community built on the same base as Elftown and http://baltbalt.com/ please let [Hedda] know!


What I need to start a new community is that there are about 30-60 people that would really enjoy it and are willing to write stuff on it, use it, promote it and help newbies using it.


Example of ideas:


A photo community for people that are interested in taking pictures.Photography Community has been started so members can bounce around ideas and show their support. Related links may be found here


A chess community for people that want to talk chess (I can't make it possible to actually play it with clients though, but that people can do that via www.freechess.org instead.).


A general community in some language. (Remember that I still need a big group of people to start it! And I need a lot of translation-help for this.)


General community with lots of diverse people, or alternatively a general community for artists, not just ones affiliated with a certain site.


Community for people interested in philosophy.


A community for people interested in cars and MCs.


A horse-lover-community.


An international community for musicians of all kinds (And how do I make this to not be a place for little kids to exchange mp3s? Invitation only?). It's started! Message [All_Most PUNK] if you want to help out to start it! This is the last chance for graphic-creators, and non-musicians to enter!


How about a place for the younger members because I'm pretty sure we're dicrimanted against in elftown I'd know. It's started! Message [Lerune] if you want to help building it!


A Film-Lovers Community, where we can tell everyone about up-coming films.it's taking on members! See: new communities - film makers for information and to sign up and support!


A Role-Playing Community, where people who love the art of role playing can role-play in a community especially built to fit the need:
(It's being worked on! See: rpg realm for information and to sign up support!)

A community for parents only, run by parents, where people can share funny stories about their kids, and post pictures of them without having to fear the freaks. Features would include parenting tips, mass uploading of pictures (like on EP), resources for single parents and low-income families, and community competitions, all on an invitation only site! Kids can even have their own house, with a parent's consent, and can make cross-country or even world-wide penpals! To sign a support petition, please go to Parents Only Community Petition! and leave your ET username or your name and email. The wiki is editable by not logged in members, so talk to your friends and family about it!


Just tell if you want to help starting up something like this!


A community for scifi for the people who like that sort of thing?


A community for people completely new to the whole 'Heddate' realm, Like maybe people training to become guards, or people who dont know how to use the psuedo HTML, or the Heddate functions, or mayby people training to become magicians or programmers?


A community as a nudist colony for artist - for those who photograph/paint/write/etc etc in the nude or of nude people - like SPADNAA only as a community. It could be invite only.

A Heddate-based role-playing environment (not a role-playing community per se) in wich every wiki would be a location, & the profile would have role-playing related statistics (perhaps for an integrated battle system). An artificial economy could be established to structure the evolution of the characters & the universe ("points" could buy better character statistics, new items, "wiki-land" for new locations, etc...) In other words, an RPG MUSH in wiki format.


Gamesmad - An 'All about games' heddate site, for anyone and everyone that likes any type of game & discussion about them.

That Government 'Game' Community I talked about. A palce where members can create their own goverments and be voted into power giving them more control over the community. The 'Government in power can control main page activities, change the quick links etc' There would still be a 'god' and admin team to make sure thew Gov don't go too crazy. Govs can buy advertising points at election times top put banners and advertisements up on wiki pages and Main page.

A community for people who are interested in cooking.

2004-09-09 [Firenze]: I am interested in helping out if you need any help

2004-09-09 [suss]: hmm.... this is the only "worldwide" community thats _active_ that I have ever seen before... I have a suggestion... Make a horse-community... I know that there are good forums, good places.. but there are no good combined places where people can discuss in the cool way that this type of community makes possible. I think that many people here on ET would be more than happy to help out with the graphics and similar.. I have a pretty good idea on how it would look (css) and such.... 

2004-09-09 [suss]: Just an idea

2004-09-12 [Kaimee]: I would actually like to see if alot of the people here at elftown who reguarly participate in the art contests would be willing to help start a community especially for art contests....

2004-09-12 [Hedda]: Why do you need a separate community for that?

2004-09-13 [OvertheMoooon]: I really like the 'for people that like taking pictures' idea...

2004-09-15 [The Dark Lord]: I would be willing to help in a general community!Or how about a music community where people who are in bands or music lovers to talk on....i know plenty of people who would join as there are hundreds of music wikis on elftown!

2004-09-15 [Hedda]: [The Dark Lord]: I've been thinking of a Heavy Metal community, which is kind of a different thing. Are there any other good sites for musicians out there?

2004-09-16 [The Dark Lord]: i would love to help with one though as rock and heavy metal apart from computers is my passion....

2004-09-16 [The Dark Lord]: ......and no there is no good sites for musicians on the net, i dont think so anyway

2004-09-21 [Young J.C.]: [Hedda] I would love to help on the philosophy community. I love to read and study philosophy. And with the rock community, I'm sure there is a site with good rock music on it. I've seen one, I'll get the website and then give it to you. I've been there once, they have music of all sorts I believe though. A lot of classic rock also.

2004-09-21 [The Dark Lord]: I meant a rock community not a site with music on.....trust me there is not one like that...there are only forums and noticeboards....and tabsites

2004-09-21 [Young J.C.]: Would you have music within the community [The Dark Lord]?

2004-09-22 [The Dark Lord]: probably not....maybe bands could put there own songs on there, but not a place 4 kids to trade mp3's....just a sote mainly to talk

2004-09-22 [Young J.C.]: So, it would people would be able to talk about music that has and is about to come out?

2004-09-23 [Davorah]: I wanna help hedda, I just wouldn't know how and/or where to start...LOL! =P

2004-09-23 [teptep]: this is an awesome idea, I like it alot hedda your a clever person but everyone knows that.

2004-09-23 [Young J.C.]: I may have thought of a new community idea... let me just think it up again.

2004-09-27 [Penguinlord]: i would love to see a chess elftown...

2004-09-27 [Hedda]: [Penguinlord]: Why? That is: What should you do on it, and do you think it will be fun for a long time?

2004-09-27 [Young J.C.]: What about the philosophy community [Hedda]? That would be something I'd love to help on.

2004-09-27 [Hedda]: [Young J.C.]: I need more than one person.

2004-09-27 [Sunrose]: Maybe you should ask around for that on philosophy...

2004-09-27 [Young J.C.]: I know that [Hedda], but I truly love philosophy a whole lot. I love to read about it all the time. I've read many different philosophies and many to come. If it does work out, let me help.

2004-09-28 [The Dark Lord]: I can give a whole list of people who would join a metal community about 80 people have sed they would

2004-09-28 [Young J.C.]: I would join the metal community also.

2004-09-29 [Analeyin]: As far as the Philosophy community, I'm all for it...

2004-09-29 [The Dark Lord]: ive started a wiki for people who would join a new metal community, they just add themselves.....excuse the long name:people who would join a metal community

2004-09-29 [Young J.C.]: There is also a wiki for people who would like to help on the Philosophy community New Communities - Philosophy

2004-09-29 [Keii]: The photo community, and music commuity would be great!

2004-09-30 [The Dark Lord]: UPDATE: i already have 36 people on the list

2004-10-03 [Isilando]: 41 as a matter of fact :P But, [Hedda], I don't see why a list is really needed... There are infinite people who would join a metal community with such conveniences that ET has. (they'll cavil a little about the forums but.. they'll be over it :P)

2004-10-05 [Penguinlord]: i would like to see a chess elftown beacause there are a lot of chess players out there, at freechess etc, and chesstown would givethem a better place to talk. and as most chess players are more serious, they do not want to join a community like this.

2004-10-06 [The Dark Lord]: ummmm....have i got enough members then?

2004-10-13 [Hedda]: [The Dark Lord] I just need some time to create it... www.cathug.com is opened now, by the way.

2004-10-15 [The Dark Lord]: excellent i love cats, i shall join that then......i can help in any way possible on the metal community

2004-10-21 [Rainbow Six]: i liked the idea of elfpack, but i think its still a bit lame..

2004-10-21 [The Dark Lord]: elfpack is goodfun and lighthearted

2004-10-21 [Young J.C.]: Not as strict!

2004-10-22 [The Dark Lord]: definately

2004-10-22 [Kayne]: Elfpack is good to put all the lower form from Et there.

2004-10-22 [The Dark Lord]: yes

2004-10-29 [Cactus in a Hat]: I think we should make a new community for all the rule breakers here in elftown, either that or transfering them all the Elfpack, send them a message about it, then block after 10 days with a note on their house proclaiming that they were at this new community, so all their non-cyber-obcessed friends would know where they had gone.

2004-10-29 [Sunrose]: All the people who are now banned from Elftown already recieve a message to turn to Elfpack: that's why Elfpack was built.... :)

2004-10-29 [Cactus in a Hat]: ah but what about all the Harressing people who have avoided banning and clutter up elftown? it would take a whole lot of the annoyed elftowners away

2004-10-29 [Sunrose]: if those Elftowners haven't been reported then no action can be taken against them. If they have been reported and they have crossed the lines we draw, they can be banned and sent to Elfpack..

2004-10-29 [Cactus in a Hat]: Argh, this PC on elftown is what makes it full of these annoying people that harress others, if someone is obviously using elftown for the wrong reasons then why wait for someone to report them?

2004-10-29 [Sunrose]: How are we supposed to know a member is harassing others if that person is not reported by those others? (unless the harassments are on official wiki's and such)... :)

2004-10-29 [Cactus in a Hat]: I mean you can safely assume who is going to harress others with cybersex, with a name like [loves cyber sex] or something of the like.

2004-10-29 [Sunrose]: Regardless of the name that person could behave normally towards other people, just because he or she likes cyber doesn't mean he/she harasses others with it..

2004-10-29 [Cactus in a Hat]: Its all assumption really, the other point is that does hedda or the council want people like that in elftown? Even if they don't harress others, surely that is misusing elftown.

2004-10-29 [The Dark Lord]: i agree with you will, but who can judge them

2004-10-29 [Sunrose]: Elftown is also for hangarounds... :)

2004-10-29 [The Dark Lord]: that is true, it is welcome for EVERYONE!

2004-10-29 [Cactus in a Hat]: if its welcome for everyone why are people banned?

2004-10-29 [Young J.C.]: Rules!

2004-10-29 [Cactus in a Hat]: then it isnt welcome for everyone, some people defy the rules.

2004-10-29 [The Dark Lord]: Well it is welcome to everybody, but a lot of people overstay there welcome....it is impossible to have a community with no rules that runs properly!

2004-10-29 [Sunrose]: People are banned when other members can't enjoy their stay here because of them. Everyone is welcome unless they are acting like an asshole: What is an asshole? :)

2004-10-29 [Sunrose]: It's best to take these questions to a forum now, this wiki is not for these questions. Go here: <URL:view_forum.html?forumnr=1> ^_^

2004-11-05 [ArchangelGabriel]: how about a comunity limited to elfwooders only?

2004-11-18 [Jay Ladlehaus]: Isn't there already one of those...called Elfwood?

2004-11-19 [ArchangelGabriel]: well, not really. Elfwood is a gallery, not a place to chat. I only suggest this because there are quite a few people who are anoyed by twelve year old cyber addicts.

2004-11-19 [Hedda]: Well, I'm more irritated by people logging in from places where they can't write properly because of stupid software. Grr! And Elftown isn't a chatroom. It's a discussion forum. Huge difference.

2004-11-19 [ArchangelGabriel]: sorry, i was stuck for a better phrase. It would be better then for a discusion forum for eelfwood users.

2004-11-21 [The Dark Lord]: but on elftown there is already plenty of forums and wikis for elfwooders, and also what would stop other people joining a new site...even if people had to give proof they were part of elfwood people might just sign up to it for the sake of joining this new site!

2004-11-21 [Nita]: Um... You can't just "sign up" to Elfwood, you know :)

2004-11-21 [The Dark Lord]: i kmnow but you can still join with little knowledge, long before i joined ET i found elfwood and signed up, added a few poems and 2 pictures, i then found ET and closed down my gallery....i shall soon be opening a new one, but still elfwood is free so if people were desperate enough to join

2004-11-21 [Sunrose]: Hmm you have to fill in a questionary now, that wasn't there before, if you don't pass it you don't get a gallery...

2004-11-21 [The Dark Lord]: true

2004-12-04 [FiSHr.]: Yes i just have done that Questionare........ Its hard!!

2005-01-04 [Zantia]: what about a sci-fi community?

2005-01-04 [The Dark Lord]: i still would love a (music/metal) community for musicians.....i know hundreds who would join. Some are proffesional musicains not on ET but would join a new one!

2005-01-05 [Zantia]: Or a gaming community, theres alot of websites that let you put there games on your site for free or something?

2005-01-08 [Hedda]: [Zantia] that sounds like fun, but are there enough people that want to upload games, and aren't Neopets and so on better for that?

2005-01-08 [Zantia]: Good point, never thought about that :S, what about the sci-fi thing?

2005-01-24 [Arctik]: I'd go for a musician's community. Say, Hedda, are you a musician (of any kind)?

2005-01-25 [Hedda]: No, I know almost nothing about music.

2005-02-06 [Zantia]: ?

2005-02-06 [ArchangelGabriel]: I'd really love an Elfwood only version of elftown so i could escape from 13yr old girls wanting to cyber even though i've got a boyfriend. Or possibly an elftown for people whoi have been active for a certain amount of time?

2005-02-06 [Zantia]: actually thats quite a good idea
