This thread is becoming f***ng funny, probably FD is losing his train of thoughts with so many good ideas flowing around. Far out.

Maybe, just maybe, naming our websites after Lebowski puns is more moving Dudeism backwards, rather than forwards...

*waits for the hail of rotten fruit*

I'm very excited to see what the new software and designs will do for the functionality of a dedicated community site.  Whilst the forum is simplistically functional, something where we can post specific items without them getting lost at the front of a thread, or having a directory of "local" dudeists, and dudely establishments would be great, which I think are all things that are coming into play.

Despite having several thousand members of the forum... how many of us are actually putting anything into the discussions?  It's looking like a very insular group we have going here.  It's like an inbreeding for thoughts   We need some new philosophical/opinionated DNA.

Opening Dudeism up wider is the name of the game, and the main inspiration for me starting this thread.  Whilst the main website has some interesting things on it, it's also got some stuff which is perhaps part of the old, Lebowskiist thing.  Also, it has links to this Forum and DP, but I'm not sure what people get out of the main site to move them onwards.  Afterall, the main site is a little stagnant and out of date.  Most of the advertising for the DP comes from Facebook *shudder*.

A dedicated Dudeist network, combining the info of the main site, the discussion groups of this forum and the article of the DP, along with all the new functionality already discussed... I'm very much looking forward to it

In our case, you would get the ringer tossed at you if anything.

But, I digress; A long time ago I myself dabbled in thoughts of how to develop and advance the ideas of Dudeism, and had an idea of a Dudeism Wiki, in fact I registered "wikidudia.org." I am yet to get off my ass and stop slacking on the project. Not sure if I ever will.

The problem is... if you ever do get off your arse, you'll be kicked out of the order

Now that brings up an interesting concept, Rev; "orders within, and of, Dudeism." "The Order of Walter," "The Order Donny," "The Order of The Jesus," "The Order of Maude," "The Order of Smokey," etc., hmmmm, might be interesting.

I'm probably more from the Order of the Serious Man, myself

surley the introduction of "orders" can only lead to further fragmentation of an already incoherent concept that is dudeism. schisms will abound and the end will be nigh!!!

Yeah, the who Dudeism/Abidism was at one time presented as a schism.  I think the answer is for non-lebowskiists to accept Lebowski, and for Lebowskiists to accept there's more than Lebowski.  Wow, I think I just solved the Jerusalem crisis!

Any fractioning or factioning is a road to ruin for a group that's bound in their looseness   About orders we do indeed jest, but it has been a concern in the past.  Luckily, Pin Dudeists are still amongst us, and not hiding in their own alley.  Same alley, different lane

Lucky bastard!

Wait! Wait! I want to be part of The Holy Order of Ladies Dressed in Viking Suits and if I'm going to be the only male there, well, that's cool.
