			== Do you know about the BoyWiki "Agora"? ==

			If you have javascript disabled in your browser (as I do, and I think everyone else ''should'') then the functionality is severely limited, though you can still post to it, and edit your posts (but it is something of a hassle to do, except on the very day that you make a post to it). There are some interesting discussions on the Agora. You might want to read/comment on some of them.
