I thought I'd bring this up, because I've noticed that there's not much activity here in the forums. I couldn't remember the web address, that would've helped I guess.
When I decided to try and find you guys again (these forums, I mean), I had a lot of difficulty. I tried multiple searches with variations in key-words and search-terms, but to no avail: the search engine didn't give me anything from The Blackest Light.
I had thought perhaps that the admin(s) (Thomas, are you the only admin?) made the group private or something, which may keep it out of search results altogether.
Finally, I gained access to the site by persistence, and found someone who linked the forums in an old Reddit post.
So, I was thinking.... maybe there would be more traffic to the forums if it were easier to find in a simple key-word search? Of course, if it has been decided on purpose to obfuscate the existence of the group in favor of making it more underground, then forget everything I just said. Maybe that's the way the admins want it, and I could see that as a valid possibility.
If not though, and if it'd be cool to see more people coming in here from time-to-time, then maybe this should be looked into. If people can't find it in a simple search, no wonder there's not much happening here.
I dunno, just a thought.
Blessings, -Mayo.

When you search for the exact name it does show up but I´d have to imagine it would be hard to find it otherwise. Since the "Hymns Of The Blackest Light: Volume 2" release I haven´t seen any talk about this Forum anywhere. Might be just me (haven´t been that active in the "scene").

Since the "Hymns Of The Blackest Light: Volume 2" release I haven´t seen any talk about this Forum anywhere. Might be just me (haven´t been that active in the "scene"). I hear you, I often jump in and out of the scene sporadically, especially if I have the urge (and means) to contribute by making more music. For now, at this point, it's just something to do on the side. I guess since I can't make music right now, keeping up with the scene peripherally seems like an outlet which would otherwise be fulfilled by contribution. Why did I say all that? lol... I digress.... Anyway, yeah, I actually tried searching for the exact words "Blackest Light forums" including any other term I could think of to get the forum in results, but to no avail. I did find reference right away to "Hymns of the Blackest Light" (different volumes), but the forum site itself never came up (EVER, and I dug through the results right to the end). Finally, it was only because someone had linked the forum in a Reddit post that I was able to find it at all. Which, I'm thankful for. I don't know if it's just me or what, but it should be much easier to find than that. There must be something up. (Naturally, I suspect personal vendetta and international conspiracy).... (kidding...... I'm kidding.... ) xD

Must be some google "Tags" in the Forum Settings, at least that´s my guess. But who knows, You´re probably right the Lizard people are after us xD

Lolz.... no, but you're probably right about the "tags" & Settings. Can we be right about both? Just for kicks? Asking for a friend.

I wonder if things slowed down here as a result of putting the forum behind a password. I know that was done to avoid the spam that started showing up. I do know that I show up here less often as a result.

Is it possible to make the forum readable to the public, but still disable guest posting? That seems ideal to me.
