Please read the following instructions before registering for the Private Members' Area and access to the private forums.
Requirements for Registration
The only personal requirement to join a Project forum is that you ARE a survivor, or partner, depending on the forum nature. Technical requirements are that you use one of the following browsers to view our forums:Other browsers and versions are not supported; thus, if your browser is other than what is listed, you will not be able to use our private forums.
- IE 6.x or higher
- Netscape 7.x or higher
Registration requirements include complying with Project guidelines. Registering to use the forums is a two-step process. You must register first for the use of Project forums, which gives you access to the Private Members' Area. We verify every registration manually, so when you register for the Members' Area, please include your former SR name if you were a member of a public forum, submit a real and active email address, and indicate if you are a survivor or partner. If you submit an incorrect email, an address that you don't use, or a false email, you will not be approved to the Members' Area.
Your registration to the Members' Area is not automatic. You will receive an email confirming your request for admission to this area, but it may take a couple of days for us to verify the request. You will be informed via email when you have been added to the Private Members' Area.
The next step in registration is to login to the Private Members' Area, click the Saferoom Forums link to the left. At the forums window, the Registration link is at the top right. Registration to the forums gives you automatic access. You can begin using the forums immediately.
Some forums are specifically for survivors, for males, or for partners, family and friends of survivors. The membership specifications for each forum are noted below. We ask that ONLY survivors join the forums that are designated for survivors, and that supporters of survivors ONLY join those forums. We will inquire into violations of forum specifications, and remove members who violate that level of privacy for each other. Each perspective on the healing path deserves to have its own space and culture, and we fully support all paths within The Project.
The forums are divided up by membership (Main Forums), interest (Emote Away), and administrative (On the Agenda). We currently host the following forums:
