Hey guys.

Hey, Atr0p0s here. A month or two back I was an active poster, but I was getting frustrated with the way the community was shaping up. But I see now it has become large and mature, and I think I'm ready to live up to that.

In the meantime of my absence, I started a forum to echo this one - albeit with a younger community. The posts aren't bad, and are aimed mostly and educating my peers.

I also wish now to become active in a different way. I want to start a blog (a weblog) to publish good articles and opinion pieces. There are no good energy debate blogs out there, so I figure it might grab a piece of the online-politicaly minded audience.

For it to be successful, I need some staffers and some links to larger, better-established websites. Please post below if you are interested in staffing. (note: staffing isn't much of a job. You just need to submit the articles of others, and if you would like, create your own opinion pieces once in a while. )

I would like to become active again, but I think I might be limiting my role to one of observer so I can collect some good sources from the community.

Thanks,
John

We accept opinion essays and editorials right here.

http://peakoil.com/content.html

We would be happy to include such an effort here at PO.com.

I could suggest a separate domain name, which could point to a "blog" section of this site. Or just leave the blog as a menu here...

Let us know... (If you want to volunteer to admin that part of PO.com)

Hey aaron, long time no talk :D

I'd love to do that, since I would have some trouble "mobilizing" web hosting and a domain. My AIM handle is Canned Soma. IM me some time and we'll talk.

To work the forums link, replace the spaces in the name with underscores.

Hey Aaron, if I wasn't being clear, I'm ready in a second to admin that section of the forums. Psyched actually. Anyone who would like to staff it should post. Need to know if I should make a separate web design or use the stuff you guys have done (which is looking much spiffier than last time I saw it btw.)
