Survival Spot
« on: September 23, 2010, 11:02:09 AM »
Check out the Survival Spot.  It's a new social networking web site for the survival and preparedness crowd.  I just put it together and it needs some more posts.

Of course any feedback or suggestions are welcome.

Jeff, the columns don't seem to line up quite right in the user profile area.  My browser has a scrollbar with one of the columns way off to the right.  Using FireFox 3.6.10 on Red Hat linux (64bit) if it helps any.  Other sections look ok.  Attached a screenshot.  Still checking out the rest of the site.

I saw that once but it went away.  I'll see if I can track it down.

Jeff, if it takes off, be prepared to moderate it heavily, as you know the real kooks will come out of the woodwork in due time.

Yea.  Spiff volunteered to moderate.  I will probably need more moderators in time.

Mail setting was borked so most spam filters were tagging it.  It's fixed now so it should be better.

One cool thing you may not have noticed is that you can create your own groups.  Essentially you can start a group that you think should exist (like Edged Weapons if you are an expert ;), keep them in the survival/preparedness genre) and then you can be the default moderator for it.  Please don't just start stupid groups for no real reason.  I'm taking this new web site seriously and I want you to as well.  :)

Nice site!  I've joined a couple of the groups already.  I guess I shouldn't join too many though.

There's a Swap Meet.  If it ends up with a larger user base because it isn't Boise-centric (as here), you should have a much broader selection for your expertise ;)
