Description:
Mission: The Lovinity Community+ is a safe and brave space website community where individuals may interact on advice, wisdom, and activism. Individuals of all races, religions, orientations, and so forth are free to use our community. We provide numerous social tools, including an internet radio station, that members may use to socialize with each other.

Vision: It is in The Lovinity Community+'s hopes that through the use of our community, the lives and consciousness of individuals will be transformed in a positive way. We also hope that those who use our website will feel loved for who they are and will experience Lovinity (Divine Infinite Love).

Main uses:
  • If you're looking for a website where the staff have been safe space trained and where people of all identities are welcomed, so long as they pose no threat of harm to others.
  • If you're looking for a social community with rules relaxed enough to permit discussion of sensitive and controversial topics, especially social and activist issues... but the rules still help protect others' safety, security, and user experience.
  • If you're looking for a supportive community to be a part of to give advice and ask for advice about various things... and to encourage each other through tough times.
  • If you're looking for a community where the disciplinary focus is on encouraging others to take accountability for their own actions and learn from them so that punishment is not necessary (but still will be issued if needed).
  • If you're looking for a place to promote activist causes and movements.

Main features: Social Community, Activist section for activist promotion, Internet Radio Station where members can host their own radio shows, role playing section, journal section, forums, polls, image/video galleries, calendar events, file downloads, quizzes, profiles, points / rewards system, Arrowchat instant messaging and chat rooms, encryption via. encrypt tag, blogs, private topics (private messages), reporting system, ratings and comments, support tickets system for communication with staff, unvalidation / ability to flag content for mod approval if you are unsure if it follows the rules, and more. The full list is at https://www.lovinity.org/catalogues/entry/website-functionality/what-features-does-the.htm .

Looks like you're using ocPortal, nicely done. 🙂

Actually, I'm using Composr CMS, which is the successor of ocPortal. ocPortal was an awesome CMS. Composr CMS is even better haha. ocProducts really do a good job with ocPortal and Composr CMS. I actually work for ocProducts now.

I've reviewed the site on Web Of Trust. The Child Safety is on 37% now!

And for anybody else, it is a really great website.

Thanks for the compliment Na11!

Thank you. Layout has always been a problem for me, and unfortunately I have not been able to get enough helpful feedback about layout to improve to my own satisfaction. Do you have any specific suggestions on how I could improve the design and the layout (aside from mobile view; that's unfortunately a Composr CMS weakpoint)?
 
TLC+ UPDATES

First off, the website as you may have noticed uses Arrowchat chat bar at the bottom of each page. Arrowchat is almost finished with a new major version... Arrowchat 2. lovinity.org will be updating to Arrowchat 2 as soon as it can when it is released.

Currently, TLC+ is running on the most up to date version of Composr CMS: 10 RC27 . I've done an update earlier today.

Feedback needed

I am in need of some feedback from the community on two different things:

What should I rename the virtual currency / rewards system "Points" to?
Should I use a public reputation system on The Lovinity Community+?

Please check out the above brainstorming threads and post your thoughts and feedback in those threads. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
 
More updates

  • The theme has been "blacked out" because of what happened in Aleppo / Syria. The Lovinity Community+'s theme has gone black and white in mourning for the hundreds of civilians injured or killed in the Syrian takeover.
  • I disabled the landing page for now; lovinity.org takes you straight to the main site. There are more and more problems I'm finding out with the landing page. At this point, I feel it's better to have no landing page than that piece of crud lol, at least until a better one can be made.
  • Off topic and general chat forums merged together
Statistics overview:
  • 21 registered users. 10 active this week. 13 active this month. Needs more users 😛

Get rewarded for signing up!

Hey everyone. I'm encouraging more users to join The Lovinity Community+. Have had several compliments from others on here but no one except a staff member doing a posting package for me sign up. Therefore, if you sign up for an account on my website and then, after logging in, clicking this link, you will earn a bonus 200 points as well as the Forum Promotion charm* for your profile's charms tab:

Doesn't that charm look nice?

*This is not an official FP logo. But it was created with FP staff's permission.

Updates

*
Rules Page Updated. The page was simplified a bit. In addition, you can now click the icon of each rule to get more detailed information about that rule, such as its references in the Terms of Service, the disciplinary actions you'll receive for violating that rule, and more.
*Last day to participate in this week's topics. This is the last day to participate in our weekly topics of [NSFW] Dating Discrimination** and Christmas Peace. On Saturday, a new batch of weekly topics will roll out.
**Tagged NSFW because the video and the topic mentions dating discrimination based on genitalia.
 
Thank you everyone for the good luck wishes.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but I'm going to be very honest. If you want to help me make this website a success, just giving me good luck wishes are not the way to go. As kind as they are, they don't actually help the website succeed. If you really would like to help out, I'd like to invite you to join the community and participate with us in some good discussions about various social issues and advice. Having more members participating on the website would mean a lot... and it would help much more than simple good luck wishes.

Thanks for understanding 🙂

Profile meters: Top one indicates online status (for online and idle, the needle moves down one tick (1/30 of the meter) for every minute of inactivity the user has been... up to 15 ticks (50%). For offline, It ticks down once for being offline for each of the following intervals: 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months (at 3 months, the needle rests at 0%)).

STAR indicates a percentage representation of how active the user was compared to the most active user within the last 30 days.

Demerits are the website's disciplinary system.

See this FP forum thread to learn what credibility is.
 
I like the updates, I also think that yuu will be Amazing reviewer for websites and whatnot 🙂 way not do an blog?
 
I thought about writing blogs, but I opted not to do it. In order for me to dedicate time to blog, I have to get income from it. But unfortunately given my very poor luck getting activity to ANYTHING I do, the amount of work to get people to read the blog (and get revenue for the ads) would unfortunately outweigh the payoffs.
