We want you to quickly understand how to master your Discussion Forum and use the facilities within your online community platform.

Now this is not a site for readers of content. It is a forum for action!

It is a place for you to post content about yourself, your thoughts, your successes (and shortfalls) and desires. It is a place for you to build warm relationships among your fellow KREW members.

We want you to make lifelong friends with complete strangers! We want you to meet them offline in one of our events; especially events that you may have created to enable such levels of intimacy!

If you are familiar with Facebook, you will be familiar with many features of this online platform. If not, don't worry!

You'll be up to scratch in a jiffy!

Just feel free to play around with your favourite features and within a short time you will be communicating like a pro!!

For your convenience I have listed some of the more common features that you might want to use. Most of your interaction with your fellow KREW members will be by posts you make to your favourite Discussion Forum.

You may also like to use the online chat facility to conduct more private conversations, or you may want to contribute your more thoughtful ideas to the KREW via blog posts. Eventually you will quickly become familiar with most of the features that I have listed below for your benefit; please be my guest!

Finally, among your friends and aquaintances who may want to join this forum, please invite only those really want to actively participate and to make warm friendships with fellow KREW members from around the world.

I am sure that you would want this forum to be successful and exciting and is loved for the beehive of acitivity being posted by you and your fellow KREW members!
