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.

I think the Global Mods should be called Sheatherlets, and green colored mods should be called Sheatherlings.

Lets just call them Green Blue and Red.

Honestly, I find it disgusting that it goes 'Red, Blue, Green' instead of 'Red, Green, Blue', since Green comes before Blue.

I honestly don't understand why the exact naming is important.


I suppose it isn't really. Just a preference. I'm not personally invested in the name of the mod group.

Generally speaking, the names don't matter too much. As long as people know what responsibilities/abilities each colour represents, then the names aren't really that important.

I can change it back, but perhaps we can compromise by just calling them moderators? I don't care one way or the other though, so forum mods is fine with me if nobody else seems to have a problem with it.
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

What is the exact definition of each of these positions (admin, global mod, moderator)? Like what powers do each of these positions have?

I can't help but notice that in the competitions, and community projects sections, it says "moderated by:" then lists, the moderators, and at the end also says forum moderators, which would imply their a different entity. Shouldn't it either just list them or just says forum moderators?

I noticed this too and am confused about it as well.

Bye, Holben. We won't forget your time on the staff team. Also, Sheather, congratulations on becoming the new forum Admin. I'll be sure to take the advice of Eric Cartman from South Park, and respect your "authoritah".

This was a really random bump... but it is a good time to bring up Richard's leaving of the site, for now anyway. Are we going to replace him, or do we not need one for now?
