Sounds like a good idea.

There actually is (or was) one, I joined a couple of years ago but didn't really keep it up.

Maybe someone else here can remember what it was?

Maybe you could see if Thefreemason.com would be interested in you building one for them?

Please can I say I think your idea is great and laud your ability to produce such a thing. I'm not trying to be negative by posting this. I'm just showing that there are some out there, which probably means there is room for one more!

Thanks...

Erm well no, actually!

You see during our (TFM's that is) 10 years we've done stuff like this before. I used to have a huge links page that I maintained here which was to promote links to most of the Masonic forums, networks, Grand Lodges and individual sites etc,  that got hacked and caused the site owners huge expense and problems. We've also had IM and "chat" rooms attached and due to time zones they were rarely used befiore they fell into abeyance and were removed.

Nowadays we don't get involved and we don't have other sites promoted in this Forum. This Forum is a Forum, it's not for advertising, it's for discussion. There are already dozens of options for Masonic networking on the Net and to be honest and strictly IMHO I believe that it fractures the possibilities of effective Masonic networking for people to continually reinvent what already exists and is available. Also in my opinion and 10 years of experience I have yet to see any real improvement or difference come of newer versions except for the dilution of unity and discussion.
