HOPE Forums

We do have some rules here so please read them and do your best to follow them. This is primarily a discussion board for the HOPE conferences but there are areas for off-topic discussion. Please keep your posts relevant to whichever area you're posting in. We're not going to tolerate abusive posts or threads that degenerate into personal attacks. Similarly, overtly racist, sexist, or homophobic posts aren't permitted. And, for obvious reasons, dissemination of illegal stuff (credit card numbers, unauthorized accounts/passwords) has no place here. Nor should private info on any unwilling person be posted. All of this is common sense but it needs to be stated. Far too many discussion forums are taken over by the loudest talkers who are frequently not the most informative ones. We can avoid this fate by keeping the discussions lively and full of new ideas while always welcoming new people and new perspectives. Please use this forum to communicate and not simply to lurk. This is vital if we wish to communicate with other participants and ultimately make HOPE into a better conference.
