What's here:
Leadership
Discussion Groups
Alternate Lifestyle Leaders Alliance
We are a private list open to those in governing positions of groups,
lists, and dungeons that serve the Alternative Lifestyles community. The
A-L-L-A provides a forum where we can discuss all of the issues that we
have to deal with as those who keep things running smoothly. One of our
primary goals is the advancement of the lifestyle through better
communications and the sharing of ideas between the different groups.
This group is meant for those who desire the opportunity to work with
other leaders to improve and advance the alternative lifestyle
community. We do verify that new applicants are leaders, moderators,
standing members on the leading councils of an established group, or are
established party host prior to being allowed access to this list so
please do not attempt to join if you are not a group leader.

Kink-Friendly Website Hosts
ChicagoNetTech Inc -
hosts my website
The owner, Bruce Barnes, is a member of our leather community and a
staunch advocate of free speech. He has been a great personal and
technical support as I've gone through the often messy process of moving
my website over. I recommend him to anyone who needs a kink-friendly
website host.
