RealTalkForums is a forum built upon the idea that you have the freedom to express who you are and say what you feel. All opinions, views, stances and religious beliefs are accepted no matter how controversial they may seem. Although forums are a great place to congregate people of similar interests I feel it is too often these interests always have to be based on one side of the coin. The only thing this forum conforms to is Religious, Scientific, Philosophical and Political content. This isn't a "Liberal", "Conservative", "Libertarian", "Atheist", "Christian" forum. However we welcome all who are of those foundations. Everyone is free to voice their mind and no one not even forum staff can tell you otherwise(Unless it violates code of conduct of course). We are not solely based on this though. We encourage a gaming community, Tech community, Readers, Writers and more. We hope our forum to grow broader than just Religious and political discussion - Come help us make that happen!
What I am trying to sell to you is this. We aim to be a family of people and learn to live together not the same. I am not looking to fill our forum up with a bunch of intellectuals who sit behind their keyboard mastering rhetoric(Although if that is you, it's not discouraged). I want it to be a place the average person can get involved in discussions that effect the world around us, or just want to engage in playful debates. 🤣
We are starting to do weekly Google Hangouts on Air. Where we engage in playful and serious discussion. Don't judge too harshly on our first one. This was basically a "wing it" hangout to experiment with what we like and don't like.
Weekly group video/audio discussions in Google Hangouts
We will be having group discussions on various topics and happenings in the world. I plan on this to be a weekly thing once I figure out and adjust to the member bases availability.
Community Blog (Members submit their content)
Members who enjoy writing will be encouraged to help contribute to the forums blogs. Whether you are a communist, capitalist, liberal or conservative we want you participation. Spoiler (Click to View)
Community Inclusion on Social media
In order to ensure the forum does not confine to one identity I plan to allow all members to contribute to the forums social media accounts. Where your ideas and thoughts can be echoed through the internet.
The Community
Although since we are a new forum the community is small, that doesn't stop our activity. Currently our community is very social for its numbers, strange, but social😊 I doubt you will be unable to make a friend here and I can promise you may make an enemy😈 Jokes aside we are a very serious forum as well and can be very passionate about the topics we discuss. This community is designed to hopefully be a place of productive conversation as well as an actively social one. I want this the be a forum that is like a "Family" not just an emotionless debate forum.
Activity
I can promise you activity on any thread you make. The current community is very talkative and opinionated. I can guarantee you will have productive and interesting discussion with people on this forum. There's not a single thing you could post about that they won't have a say in.😅
A Community Built By The Community
I really want to stick with the notion of having a community designed by the community. I don't want to go through and make executive decisions altering the forum and destroying the things people love about it. I also am very active when it comes to implementing things members want to see. I am actively in the suggestions section and I am willing to make changes based on what the community would be interested in. I don't want to strictly look at RealTalkForums as mine, but as ours. I say this is the least cliche way possible.
Thank you. Member base is low, due to it being fresh out of the womb. But hey, you have to start somewhere. I also will be investing more money into promotions for it(Outside HF)

Nonetheless, goodluck with your forum.
I just don't see the point in forums when HF has every forum you could need.
You are absolutely right. Hack Forums is a wonderful place, especially for the typical computer junkie because it has every interesting category possible. However, to me and I think some others it is nice to separate yourself. Occasionally here in the SRPP you get flooded with the 14 year olds who joined HF to follow RAT tutorials and come in here to voice an un-educated rant and rave while using big words and auto-correct to camouflage their discussion as an intelligent one. Which is expected with a forum with such a large diverse community. By diverse I mean people who joined here originally for different interest.
However some people find it peaceful to surround yourself with people equally interested in deep thinking to the extent you are. People dedicated to the topics enough to join a forum strictly for that discussion.
All in all it's not about the having a board to discuss these topics on but rather to form a community dedicated to these particular topics. It is not anything intended to replace HF SRPP, because I myself could never trade this section for any site. Like I said though, sometimes it is nice to discuss things with people equally dedicated to the topics.
As far as the "Place for all views & opinions", yes HF SRPP is that also. This is due to Omni being a excellent administrator on this forum and others. The fact of me stating that in the title was to avoid confusion of this forum being a place for specific views.
I hope that cleared the air. Also thanks for the good luck!

Or, more likely, a bunch of people with relatively similar views will join and proceed to circlejerk their shitty opinions.

Not the goal at all. We simply aim for people who enjoy these kinds of discussions. Although the risk exists, I will do my best to prevent any formation of a majority rule circle jerk.

Best of luck with this project man. Enjoy going to a forum knowing that the owner has put it effort for the site and community.
