Original post: Was I Deleted, Again?
This is just a thought that is sparked by a recent "fan" of mine I have discovered... but, if a LHP and Satanism forum were combined, would Satanists appreciate all the "ethics" of magick Threads and their various off-shots that could or may develop? .....especially at the beginning of such a forum as the defining lines are delineated and drawn?
m1thr0s mentions about breaking the Satanist Brand with a LHP forum experiement and this is the kind of idea to which I am returning. I think it is worth noting. The Satanist forum, which is comprised of the current "homongenity" of various Satanic concepts, may suffer tied to a LHP forum, comprised of the proposed hetrogeneity between diametrically oppositional contextual views relative to which the whole of occultforums is currently acclimatized/accustomed.
I suggest a test market of the one before extending the proven brand.
JQP

Original post: Interstellis
The forum description currently reads:
Satanism
LaVeyan, Traditional, Luciferian, Modern, and other forms of Satanism are discussed here.
It seems to more appropriately describe the membership here if we alternately were to use:
Left Hand Paths
Satanism (LaVeyan & others), Luciferian, Setian, and other forms of the Left Hand Path are discussed here.
I say this because we have a good number of quality posters here that seems to find themselves stating "I'm not a Satanist, per se, but......" when in fact most of the posters here may in fact be practising some form of LHP philosophy, there are only a few that actually accept the heading of "Satanist".
I'll post here either way, personally.

It is true,LHP and Satanism are diffrent.Voidianism for instance has nothing to do with Satanism but co-exists nicely with it,as do a few other sects/paths.it would be a great addition but with a caveat,not all LHP groups get along well.be sure to put a warning up against flameing and have a no bs mod to crush things the second they appear.
I would use such a forum extensively.

LHP would offer way wider ground for discussions as many people are stuck to undefinable terminology at moment.
Just my two cents but I'd say what are you waiting for, go ahead, add that forum, sub or twin or whatever.

What about RHP?
If you make one it seems silly not to have the other. Both fit in other places.

Obviously LHP studies sans-satanism is a huge minority, as satanism is a minority in itself.
RHP is ?well represented enough to not have to that.
Either way, the powers that be had enough time to make a choice on this issue for a LHP forum here. I've moved on to Yahoo, although its not as aesthetically pleasing, but at least its much more diverse and not all controlled by one person.
( Although moderated posting is annoying that it isnt 'live', but I suppose its better than stupid asses being stupid. )

Nonsense.
RHP and LHP are equally represented throughout these forums. In fact, LHP might be more well-represented since there actually IS a Satanist forum... not to mention Chaos forums which are typically LHP, Ceremonial which is equally RHP and LHP, as is Paganism, etc. etc. Point me to the nearest "RHP forums", please.

LOL...this is getting pretty silly...
Soon we will be needing a MHP (middle hand path) Forum which will run into conflicts with the BHP (both hands path) Forum that will also be at odds with the EHP (either hand path) Forum...not to mention all the other Limb Forums!
...and this was my whole point to begin with, but I am still supportive of a LHP Forum...I just don't think it's a good idea to sacrifice (or otherwise dilute) Satanism to make it happen...
No matter what you do, Satanism will always command a certain corner of the universe whether it's officially recognized or not...just because it IS ALREADY extreme left of center, or right, for that matter...If people are uncomfortable with that...cool...
I think we have to recognize that from a website management perspective it doesn't do a whole lot of good to throw a party that nobody really comes to...Satanism is a steady draw...not tremendous but steady...I don't really know how a LHP forum would fare but I suspect it would fizzle out after a short term...but like I said...I don't really know for sure...
