• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

You’ll see a small, but I hope useful, update to the way you view threads (conversations) inside the Colony. Scroll down to the end of a thread, beyond the Quick Reply box, and you’ll now be presented with a list of similar topics that have been raised in the past. The Colony contains oodles of great information, not all of it easy to find… hopefully this will make some of our older threads more accessible again.

Can I just remind you, please, that the Colony depends on you for its continued existence. If you value Litopia, please upgrade your membership. There are a range of options, including the “Benefactor” level that starts from just £1 a month. And you can upgrade or downgrade your support level at any time, depending on whether you land that mega-book deal or not :) And thank you for making Litopia a wonderful place for all of us.
 
A useful addition to the Colony. As the old saying goes: Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.
 
Morning Pete, I've just noticed that Back Room threads are included in the 'Similar threads', which I guess means the software is also indexing and searching those threads for keyword matches. Should Back Room threads be included this way, or does it infringe on the privacy the Back Room offers?
