| 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. Join our community today! |

I could function as one of the mods. And from our experience with purging and reworking the SE wiki, citrakayah could also be one as well. There are a lot of potential moderators, we just need to find them. Edited by Adman, Feb 4 2014, 06:48 AM.

Projects and concepts that I have stewing around Extended Pleistocene- An alternate future where man died out, and the megafauna would continue to thrive (may or may not include a bit about certain future sapients) Inverted World- An alternate timeline where an asteroid hit during the Barremian, causing an extinction event before the Maastrichtian. Dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and notosuchians make it to the present, along with a host of other animals. Badania- Alien planet that has life at a devonian stage of development, except it exists in the present day. Ido- Alien world where hoppers (derived flightless ballonts) and mouthpart-legged beasts are prevalent. Leto- Life on a moon orbiting a gas giant with an erratic orbit; experiences extremes of hot and cold. The Park- ??? Deeper Impact- a world where the K-Pg extinction wipes out crocodilians, mammals, and birds; squamates, choristoderes, and turtles inherit the earth. World of Equal Opportunity- alternate history where denisovans come across Beringia and interact with native fauna. Much of the Pleistocene fauna survives, and the modern humans that end up crossing into North America do not overhunt the existing animals. 10,000 years later, civilizations exist that are on par with European and Asian societies.

Myself, Admantus, and (I'll have to contact him about it) Dromaeosaurus, if he'd take the position. |

I'd take the position if possible. I've always wanted to be a mod, and I think I could do it well since I'm active on the forum and have a lot of free time. |

Okay, then you instead of Dromaeosaurus (at least for now, that way we can get started like now). |

Yes, we are, but I can't just magically wave my hands and make everything happen. We'll need to create a topic--I'll go do that now. |

Okay! I've created the subforum (I'll need descriptions for them if you want them though), and I've done something a bit different. Previously I had people assigned individually to different subforums for different projects as moderators, but you are all now members of a new group of moderators: the Community Project Moderation Department. Each of you has moderator abilities that apply to everything in the community projects section, please use your power wisely (and let me know if something is up, such as you having mod powers in other areas or none at all, because I had some issue creating that group but I think I got it all fixed up). If you abuse these powers, I will take them from you. If you do well with them, I may promote you to a global mod since your group actually has more members than the global mods (by one, at any rate). I hope this is satisfactory. |

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar. "The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming Tree That Owns Itself

Thank you Parasky. We will revive and breath new life into the community projects. Edited by Adman, Feb 12 2014, 09:34 PM.

Just my opinion, but I think Troll Man should be a part of our group for moderating the evolutionary continuum. Aside from providing new and innovative ideas, he has been a great help with formatting and tweaking the posts for Rostratae so that they look fantastic, as well as making great art. Again, Just a suggestion.
