Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the Earth.

Now see, that's a problem. Sure, we want an active community. Yes, high posts allow us to reach that goal. But this forum is called "Speculative Evolution". No "Games and Randomness".

Now, I am completely fine with those areas existing. They allow us to have some non-nerdy fun, which I am all for. But too much fun and not enough speculation will destroy this forum, of that I'm sure.

There really is no set rule to how many posts you can make. It's like eating candy: it just takes restraint and moderation.

Well, people will post when you post. If you don't post something and keep it alive, even if people completely ignore your project, then don't expect anyone to post.

Just a word from the wise Canis Lupis who has been here longer than you. ;)

I cannot post in my own projects (like Postozoic) because then I make too many posts in a row from me. Even after I made a website for my projects nobody posts in them. People only post in my Forum Ecosystem topics.

--EDIT--
:o This post is my 666th post :o

It's kind of worrying. Alright, i'll create myself a list of projects i'm interested and able to contribute in, then focus on those.
Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.

Hmm- i'll start with mine, 'diversifying synapsids.'

Mammals and their extinct relatives, dating back to the carboniferous. They are identified by the single anchoring 'window' in their skulls.

Holben once got 189 posts. I just got over 10 more than that.

But my secret: Reply to all the forum games and randomness threads.

But those 2 forums don't count toward your overall posts, just daily posts.

So it's irrelevant really.

And it shouldn't be seen as an achievement. ;)

As I've said before, the multiple post rules are in place to prevent unproductive "bumping" of posts: saying something unnecessary just to get your thread back to the top. If you have something constructive to add to your project, and (for organizational reasons or ease of reading) you want to post it in a new thread, then I don't care if you have ten posts in a row.

Sometimes projects around here have real potential, but it takes a little time for the community to recognize it.
Take a look at my exobiology subforum of the planet Nereus!
