@Darth-Apple, I really like your "How you can support us" page.

Other than the items you listed on that page, what are some other things that make your website different than the other 75 million websites?

Haha, wow. What a surprise, thank you guys. Want to congratulate my competitor as well @22_22. It was his idea to do a battle of the blogs, perhaps this sort of thing could be done more often. 😀

This blog is brand new. Never before done a blog, and I have big plans for it. I was looking for domains for a parent project for my current community (largely as a spot to post a look at culterally "oddball" opinions and stances that make more sense than they are given credit for). Thought "moon" sounded catchy, so I was searching around and the idea for "Saturn Moon" came up. I had a lot of people who told me if I didn't buy it right then, they would buy it and use it. To make a long story short, I ended up with it. 😛

It's a pretty personal project in a lot of ways. I haven't made a new website in over seven years, so getting back into it has been more interesting than I expected.

I like the blog piece on Geddy Lee. How long have you been a Rush fan?

Rush was one of the few things that my father and I bonded on at an early age, so honestly, for as long as I can remember. They are a bit of an acquired taste, but their later music is very much underrated in my opinion. I was never a fan of Geddy's earlier vocals, but he was actually very good in his later years. 😛

Are there any topics you feel that you should avoid in your blog?

 

[Darth-Apple]

Hmm, not particularly, outside of the standard "don't post anything offensive" rule of thumb. There are certain political topics that I am somewhat apprehensive to discuss, though I find myself occasionally venturing there (albeit carefully). 😛

Have you gotten any troll comments or have they all been legit so far?

Thank you. Well done on your win. I think it would be great to see a battle of blogs if the demand is high enough.
I look forward to reading your blog hopefully soon. 🙂

@Lämmchen: No rogue comments yet, besides a couple spam ones. The forum on the other hand, we have had quite a few that we have to delete regularly. 😛

@22_22: Thank you! Your blog looks great as well. 🙂
