And in with the new. I'm very excited at welcoming new Ningmasters, so if you want the position remember to apply. Don't know if Tom's got a deadline, but post your blog application as soon as possible. I'm liking what I've seen so far. I most definitely agree with Chip when she* said it's not a game. It takes major time, dedication, and patience**. Best wishes to all applicants.
Now to the threads (pretty muc… Continue

What's new 'round here?
Games? Heated debates? Trolls? What's had your attention here recently?

Been a few week since I last blogged about the forum, so let me first jump into the threads.
Featured discussion:
Fictional Character Nerdfighters
Know any fictional characters that could be Nerdfighters? I'll go with the obvious and say Hermione Granger.
Others:
It's M-E-Y-E-R: No S at the end...
We know that there are an abundance o… Continue
Okay, this isn't a real camp (YET), but imagine if it were real. This week's featured discussion, What if there was a camp DFTBA, asks what this camp would be like, and many more questions.
There was a ton of great discussions this week, more than usual, but here are certain ones that stood out for me:
Cheating
What are your opinions on che… Continue
This week's featured discussion is Happiness is.... Maybe it's just me, but I think we could do with some more positivity around here. List things that you enjoy or make you happy. ^.^
Other discussions:

Going there when it opens is now one of my life goals.… Continue
Hello, interwebs. Forgive my absence for the past two Saturdays; I've been on vacation and had no access to my beloved Ning. Thank you so much, Chip, for covering the forum while I was gone. :)
Now, for all the Americans here, it's Independence Day. I wouldn't normally blog about holidays, because most just annoy me, but out of all the holidays, I'll have to say this one is my favorite. Why? The fireworks, of course. If you observe this holiday, what are your plans? And what's your favorite hol… Continue

This past week, I've done practically nothing but listen to my new CDs; DFTBA Records, Volume One and Chameleon Circuit. Granted, I'm still sick with the flu, so I probably wouldn't have done much anyway. But that's beside the point. Anyone else can't stop listening to them?
Anyway, on to the Forum!
Featured Discussion:… Continue
...but still, I must scout the forum!
Featured Discussion:
Helping Hand to the Homeless
I've been in this situation many of times, where I don't have money to give. What other small things can we do for the homeless?

What have you done?
What have you done to express or represent Nerdfighteria? Me? Well, I don't want t… Continue
So, the featured discussion this week is The Million Little Hugs Project. To sum up the video made by iKasperr, he wants short video clips of people hugging someone/something that is important to them. The message of the project is "that we should all be grateful for the people, t… Continue

In the forum this week:
Featured thread:
More websites like Freerice.com...
I know lots of you love freerice.com but there's got to be more sites out there somewhat like it, right? If you know of some, just add them to the discussion.
More discussions:

So, what do you think about the design changes? Looking pretty fancy if you ask me. As Hank mentioned, things aren't finished just yet, but soon everything will be in working order. :)
But that's not what I'm here for. On to some forum threads!
Featured discussion:
The greatest things about being a Nerdfigher!
Let's make a huge list there. What's your favorite thing about being a Nerdfighter? Personally, I'd like… Continue
It's late, so let's jump straight into some forum discussions.
This week's feature:
Why Do We Care About World Suck?
And not just: World Suck = Bad, so we should do our best to fight it. But why do we try to fight World Suck? What or who is your personal inspiration? My take on this is that I've had a pretty crappy life, and all the stuff I've had to deal with, I'd rather not see anyone else go through… Continue

Good afternoon, Nerdfighters! It's Saturday once again, and time for me to let you know of the forum threads that have grabbed my interest this week.

There's been countless discussions about fiction books, but I don't believe there has been one concerning nonfiction books. And this is why it's this weeks feature. List your favorite nonfictions there.

This week there's a little of this and a little of that. And here's somethings that pulled my interest.
The Supreme Court Takes On School Strip Searches
This week's feature was brought to my attention by QuantumTuba, who gave an excellent vlog on the subject. A female honor student was strip searched by her school's nurse at the age of 13, simply because an… Continue
Happy Sunday, everyone! Been searching and searching, and this is what I've found in the forum this week.
The discussion I featured is Internet or Real Life. Of course, one may say that the Internets is apart of 'real life', however, for the sake of keeping it simple, let's separate the two. What are the differences between strictly online relationships and mostly offline relationships (or rather, people whom you've k… Continue
This week's featured discussion from me is VEDA Roll Call. There's a BEDA roll call on Maureen Johnson's Ning, so we need a VEDA one. Anyone participating should add their name and channel info in the discussion. Even if you're not, you can check out the people who are participating. (Except for me. Ignore me. You may or may not expire from boredom.) So far, there's a good handf… Continue
