LongeCity is and has always been a community that is open to everyone regardless of their interest in indefinitely sustainable health, artificial life extension, cryonics, or other such things. We do our best to support the interest of all of our members. We don't however appreciate it when our community members seek to interfere with our charitable mission or promote things that run counter to our mission. We also don't permit people to hold leadership roles who aren't thoroughly committed to our mission. - Moderation
Should this site limit users to those who pursue Artificial Life Extension or Cryonics or as it has been doing, should it allow a broader group of people to be here? If you limit the site, the vast majority of the posts will not happen. The vast majority of the posters will not be here. The depth of knowledge on science, medicine, supplements and wholistic medicine will be gone. If someone posts something, the likelihood of a timely response is much lower, causing that person to be less likely to come back.
A huge population that seeks alternative answers to learning disabilities found a place here. They seemed to have made progress. Another large group seeks alternative answers to mental illness. Many people came here looking for answers to health problems. I did. I was amazed with the depth of knowledge. Also, just knowing that there was an answer was amazing. I have found a lot of help here. It's like a vitamin university.
It appears that those running the site have allowed a broader group to be here but that some among them are sniping at people who have other interests. If you want to limit your site, you can do that. You have a collective decision-making process. It appears that the inclusionists won. If you make another decision, just give us six months notice so we can form an alternative site/flee to another site, and exchange contact information. That will leave you with most of your posters gone and much less knowledge to draw on. It's your decision.
