Silver Circle is a EW-2/PG96 based Internet chat program that caters
to Wiccans and Pagans on the internet. This allows a safehaven for
people of similar beliefs to get together and chat about religion,
life and everything in between. So why not give us a try? Simply point
your telnet program to:
cachenet.com 1919
or for more info about what a talker is, point your wweb browsers to:
http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~bw134
and click on Silver Circle.
How to telnet:
- If you are running Unix, simply type:
telnet cachenet.com 1919
- In VAX, type:
telnet
then type:
cachenet.com 1919
-If you have a windows based telnet program, they all vary.

the default port number 23).

I'm on that talker, and you need to be aware that it's VERY different
from being on Usenet/trn. (For information on what MUDs and Talkers are,
check out: http://www.mudconnect.com/mud_intro.html and scroll down to
Talkers, which is what SC is)
It is a relatively interesting program because (from my experience):
- it's an intermingling of Christian and Wiccan, and barely any
religious bashing between the two groups
(most I've seen are either Christians, or various forms of Wicca --
from vampyre to Avalon to traditional to eclectic to dragon; occasionally
I've seen someone into a form of shamanism, but that's more rare)
- variety of ages: I've seen people on there from ages 16-37
(different than Iron Rose which only allowed people 18 and over on)
If you are _very knowledgeable_ about Wicca or another Pagan religion, then
this is a place where they could use more people like you (imo,
ESPECIALLY if you're another Pagan religion -- they could use some other
perspectives than the Christian and Wicca).
If you want to learn about Wicca, I recommend sticking to Usenet for
awhile first. You'll find more Wiccan and Pagan discussions on Usenet
for the most part.
However, if anyone is interested in learning how to participate on the
program, feel free to email me as well. I do have some basic help files
in my account that I could send, and I'd be more than happy to help you
get started on the program if you really wish (since people on ARW and AP
help me out, it's only fair I do the same to others since this is
something I can help with).
The above is based solely on my opinion, which is extremely biased in a
mixed attitude towards the aforementioned talker. It has things going
for it, as well as against it, but you need to form your opinion of
it by finding more information on your own, to be honest.

[General Talker Admins: If you wish to nuke/banish my character for
having an opinion (either for, against, or honest) regarding your
program and stating it in any forum not on the program, then I cannot
stop you from taking such action. Keep in mind that it will not stop me
from having an opinion either. :) ]
