Not this little black duck, I am from the opposite end of the world. However welcome, you will no doubt add an extra dimension to our conversations. The group is predominantly in teh USA, there are a few from other places, about 1/2 dozen of us Aussies etc.

Hi, Belfast,

You earn website points, and help other members get to know you better, when you write an informational profile that includes your hobbies and interests, and answer all the profile questions, since that's the first place many people look when they see a new member.

Also, the website uses your profile to find member matches, so the more details you include, the better the match.

Then you make comments and write your own posts to earn more points and privileges; for instance, at level two you can private email people. You get different perks with each level, and when you reach level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

To find members near you, click on the "Meet" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Or click on the "About" button at the top of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
Click on the 'Meet" button to find member matches

Links to FAQ: [agnostic.com],
and a website tutorial: [agnostic.com]

Take a look under "Meet" and then "Members" it will show people in your area.

I'm certainly nearer than most people on this site!
