At the top of every page of the forum is this link:

Usergroups

http://www.peakoil.com/gate.html?name=F ... le=groupcp

You can now select a preferred group for your account among 3 basic choices.

Cornucopian - Subscribing to the "horn of plenty" idea that hydrocarbon depletion will have ultimately beneficial consequences.

Moderate - Subscribing to the idea that hydrocarbon depletion will have serious, but manageable consequences.

Doomer - Subscribing to the idea that hydrocarbon depletion will lead to destructive, if not cataclysmic consequences.

So jump right in and declare your affiliation.

Apart from declaring my position are there any benefits to this? Such as discussions only open to those who share my outlook on PO?

Golem's gonna have a field day with this one. I can't wait.

...feeling constrained by pigeonholes. This pigeon doesn't want to go in any of the three.

No, I'm not just being crabby. A few more categories? I don't completely fit. I'm in between somewhere. Ideally you need a branching algorithm or concept map to handle the complexity. Or at least a few more categories. It could be interesting to make some sort of PO family tree.

Can you imagine filtering out all but the cornucopian posts? It would read like a rap sheet on Lorenzo.

[Aaron]

What will be interesting is...

Who will post first in each new forum?

And.... begin.

[Jack]

Alas, our membership applications to the group appear to require manual approval...which is probably a very good thing...but until we are approved, no initial posting can occur...

This makes me feel like I do when I register my political party so I can take part in one or another of the primaries. I'd rather choose a third party or none, but I end up registering for one of the two majors so I get a primary vote.

Here the problem is that all the fun and popular people are joining the doomer group, but I'd like to identify as a moderate. But I bet ya a dollar and a half there will never be a forum open only to boring-ol' moderates. So, if I want full access, I need to be a doomer.

Ya know, I changed my mind. This isn't a two party system at all. It's a one-party system! Yer all a bunch of damn reds!

[Polemic]

I'm a doomer as much because of the 'engineered financial apocalypse' as 'hydrocarbon depletion.'

It seems to me there are plenty of solutions that could work in concert to alleviate any number of our problems. But it also seems to the me that those with the power to influence outcomes do not wish for solutions - but instead for the enslavement of the population.

Moderate, I think my oh so many posts here bear out that description.

Aparently I need SPG's approval to actually be a member of the group.
