So it is up. The forum which will act as a side forum to A-U. For A-U members only.
The Council of Rhovanion

Council of Rhovanion will be a haven for those of us who want to discuss or debate all topics freely without restrictions but together with all of our friends that we know and love from A-U. It's not the same joining an open forum where a bunch of people you do not know will be thrown into the mix.
To make it extra secure and to make sure only A-U members slip through, every registration requires Admin activation. So either you sign up with your A-U username (so that I can easily check if you're an A-U member) or you can choose a different username but you then PM me here on A-U so that I know who it is that registered!
At Council of Rhovanion you'll be able to casually discuss (or seriously debate - whichever you choose) all the hot or "controversial" topics such as politics or religion. But like any other forum it also has all the other normal fun sections like music, films, books, random games and whatnot.
It doesn't matter if you're a new and relatively unknown member of A-U or one of the old veterans - ALL A-U members are welcome to join.
So as this is not an open forum, I ask you kindly not to invite your non-AU friends to join.
Hope to see you there folks!

PS, to make sure everyone will be treated fairly and all point of views properly respected, I already have one moderator "employed" who is of a completely different political and religious standpoint than I am. And yes, she's a member of A-U
