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 have this idea to create a forum using Zetaboard. It would be also spec biology however it is mainly for Xenobiology and especially around my alien world Eo. Or maybe it would be more fore an alternate universe thingy I dunno. Also I thought that this new forum could be an affiliate to this one.

However I am unsure for now. I am unsure if I could manage a forum. Of course they would be mods and admins but still. AAARRRGGHHH It's messing with my brain...

What do you guys think?

Not to mention, I can't see much of a reason or point to making an entirely separate forum for something that's already covered here.
Dumb Quotes


Coming Soon/To be Rebooted:

How To Hunt Gods - Everything you need to know about Gods and the art of God-killing.

Intrazoology - The world of semi-corporeal lifeforms. A world you walk through every day, without even knowing it.

The Dungeonverse - Magical creatures forced to adapt in huge, underground caverns, while surface-dwelling humans go dungeoneering for treasure.

Crossover - A mish-mash of worlds, with Earth smack in the middle of the chaos. What could go wrong?

no worries

No, it's not dead: there were posts yesterday and today. It's a little slow, but what do you expect? It's a niche interest. I can assure you your forum would be slower than that for quite a while. Much better to use one that already exists.

There's also the CBB itself, which has a subforum for conworlds and another on culture and history: http://aveneca.com/cbb/index.php

Plus, conlanging is the best way to get into conworlding. The best. No other opinions are valid on this matter. ;)

What I've remarked about people in general, is that they won't really complete something they haven't got soul in. Look at the numerous projects on here that went away in history because the persons making them weren't interested in their origins anymore. It's a common thing and you have to behind your choice with all of your heart in order to manage and do something ;)

So I advice you to try it, and learn from the experience. Even if you ... fail (what a stupid word) but actually learn from the step you took then you will be fine :)

Just try to do something you're behind with all your art, you are only letting yourself down when you do something and stop halfway because you're heart and mind don't co-allign with each other anymore. First think about what you want, work out plans without telling people and then ask people for advice, believe me, that doesn't work too well, not with you, neither with others.
