 Site Updates & Changes - Chas

  Greetings: Slowly but surely Paganism Today is gathering a decent sized user base. We are removing users who fail to login for more than 30 days but are still seeing a positive growth to the site. Paganism Today a new Witch/Pagan Resources? One of the issues that continues to crop up is people associating Paganism Today with the Witch/Pagan Resources. Please look closely at the site and notice the drastic difference between Paganism Today and what the Witch/Pagan Resources was. They are not the same site, they are not governed by the same approach and vision and they exist seperate from one another. Please treat Paganism Today for what it is, a unique entity removed from the original site that you know the owners from. While we appreciate the continuing support from the old members of the Witch/Pagan Resources we would like Paganism Today to develop it's own type of community enviroment that encompasses a broader spectrum of internet user.
