We're a welcoming bunch here at The Playground, so don't be shy.
Start a "Hello, my name is [screenname]..." thread, and tell us a little bit about yourself, and what drew you here.
Welcome!!!
(And once you're an old hat here, be sure to welcome the newer kids in school when they say hello, too.)

How do we get new members to come play?
Post your suggestions for membership drives (I have oodles already - I've given this a lot of thought - but love hearing others' ideas).

Every Playground has its early gumshoe reporter.
Two cans and a string have given way to "the Googles," RSS feeds, and text messaging: but good reporting principles are enduring. What's the scoop?

Know some real progressives who feel they were DUped? Tell them this is a safe place to air it all out. Here, 9/11 truth, LGBT rights, animal rights, and other truly progressive causes are not DUngeons.
You have my personal word of honor on that.

Want my phone number, my e-mail, my Social Security number? Well, I'm happy to swap 'em to prove I'm a real, live guy running a really progressive-minded site.

I think Senator Leahy and likeminded sorts have done an admirable job of championing the idea of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, modeled after what South Africa did after Mandela was freed and apartheid was coming to an end.
But in a Family, doesn't Reconciliation often precede Truthtelling?
Even Admin is fair game here.
