In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

My eye sight is getting worse everyday people.

This is mostly a light hearted post to give the community something low stakes to discuss and decide on.

Maybe there won't be any interest, or maybe we have a lot of ideas for icons and even banners?

Here are a few:

This one already exists by a company, but all of their domains are for sale, and they haven't been socially active for almost three years now. I doubt they'll be filing any complaints about a community using an icon that you can't reverse image search. Still, always a risk.

4 has some lines through it, but it's not noticeable when it's a teeny tiny icon. I think a nice pillar will be good c:

Solid candidates here! The last one is barely visible to me because of the dark background on my webpage and the transparent background on that image, but with a white field behind it, would work great.

but I also like #2 and #3 so

A white pillar with a black outline will fix it up. There are plenty online that are freely available.

As for the Sidebar image. Either some famous artwork, maybe the famous School of Athens artwork? Though it feels pretentious and snooty.

So I think just a forest will do.
