This site was created to provide a space for the digital refugees of the homestead.org forum, which ended it's ten year existence on December 31st, 2013. This simple forum was created to function as a life boat, preserving the community after the loss of their former home, while members constructed a new, more permanent abode elsewhere on the web. That site has been completed, and is located at
http://homesteadforum.org/forum/.
This site will remain as a back- up, in case anything happens to the new site.
