[Artemisia] SCA community

[Spencer Collier]

My Lords and Ladies,

I have been following this plague thread and am as constantly, as always, at the 
plethora of information that we have all together about just about anything out 
there.  I always wonder what could be done if we could get all of that 
information together, as one person stated  that just in this thread there are 
many posts that could be used as articles in Tournaments Illuminated.  My 
brother in law, who now resides in this kingdom has started a new SCA website. 
 He happens to be a brilliant web designer, and has come up with a site, 
www.scacommunity.com that has the opportunity to really benefit our grand 
society.   He grew frustrated with all of the wonderful sites that have gone 
away, and I agree with him.  How many of us have dead links to pages that we 
thought would be there for years, and now that information is for the most part 
gone or at least not accessible to the majority of us. So in an effort to 
preserve this information before it got lost, and to put it in a easily 
accessible form he created this site.  He envisions it as a hub of information 
for all in the SCA and a social gathering place, from those who are just 
interested to those who have been active all of their lives.  You sign up to 
this site, and you can look through, forums, blogs, video blogs, search for 
people by kingdom, barony, or even groups (you can even create household 
groups).  These are just a few of the things that are on this site.  This site 
only started at the beginning of this month, but is daily growing, and so1on, I 
believe, will be a site that will become a major resource to all of us.  He is 
open to suggestions, and works hard to implement them.  Please, don't just take 
my word for it, go and check it out, join, and watch as this site changes the 
how we exchange information in the SCA.  

Sorry if this post offends. I know this sounds a lot like a shameless plug for a 
website, but I have spent a lot of time talking about it, and I really see it as 
a wonderful place to take our Society to the next level in sharing information.
