DO NOT POST ANY LINKS TO ANY ADULT SITES ON YOUR HOMEPAGE or ANYWHERE WITHIN THIS COMMUNITY.

This is a policy they have in place to protect THEIR PLATFORM and YOU!

as WEBSITES that sell a product or service to consumers.

Permitted links from bona fide nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, WIKI,
YouTube, MySpace, DailyMotion and other general user
non adult non commercial social networks are permitted.
POZQUEERS is a FREE COMMUNITY for all HIV POZ MEN AND POZ FRIENDLY NEG PARTNERS
who want to connect with others, whether it be for making new friends, or looking for a LTR.

ALL POZ BEARS, POZ BIKERS, POZ LEATHER, POZ BDSM, GAY, QUEER, & BI MEN ARE WELCOMED!
PLEASE RESPECT EACH OTHERS' COMMUNITIES WITHIN THIS COMMUNITY!
WE ARE ALL POZ GAY MEN & PROBABLY COULD LEARN FROM EACH OTHER MORE THAN WE KNOW!
YOU WILL HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO SET-UP YOUR OWN FORUM/GROUPS WITHIN THIS COMMUNITY.

POZQUEERS community was created to serve many desires and needs of those of us who live with HIV.
Tired of the frustrations of seeing faceless & informationless profiles, the time consuming search to connect with others,
seeing more spam in Yahoo Groups than Hormel packs in a lifetime
and other online frustrations motivated me to start this new community.

Sharing ourselves can help empower others living with HIV and helps us connect with each other.
Sharing photos of places, art, sunsets, and other stuff that has brought new meaning to your Life
is a wonderful expression of who you are.
The power of images, music and video does much for our spirits.
It is a simple expression of WHO we are, what we love.

For those who are looking for an LTR, your profile on your homepage allows you to share who you are.
Those inputs through our enhanced search features will connect others to you.
There is no need to "repost" that same basic information in group postings and blogs.
Introduce yourself briefly in the PozQueers Promenade Arena Group.
Share your experiences, feelings and thoughts in our groups, forums and your blogs and homepage.

"The BEST part of any journey is the people we meet along the way."
Sharing who we are may help others and in our sharing we truly enrich ourselves and those we meet along that journey.
The time you take into your homepage and profiling connects others to you.
So does participation by expressing yourself in many other ways.
Your chances of achieving your goals and making your dreams come to reality
increase through participation, whether it be sharing your photos or sharing your thoughts and opinions.

POZQUEERS.....
Building a New Community of Men loving Men, sharing who we are, what we love about ourselves, others and Life, celebrating
ourselves and our living with HIV - in doing so we may make a difference in someone else's Life - possibly even our own. Those are
the reasons I embarked upon starting this community on the Internet, pure and simple. I have experienced and seen others'
frustrations when trying to find a good forum on the net to only later find it cluttered with spamming, trolling, and the rest of what
comes with people who are out there pushing their adult sites/group, many are pushing just photo sharing groups to collect your email
address in their membership rolls. They then sell those lists to other companies and you know what comes next - SPAM!

Many of the main HIV+ POZ sites are okay but limiting with features. Some give you free access with limitations then ask you to shell
out dollars. They bait you with the word "free" and try to get you to spend dollars every 3 months or year to "upgrade" to see photos
and send unlimited messages. They also sell banner ads and make a lot of dollars off that! Charging us high fees and making more
money on top of it from our membership rolls. Being HIV POZ has opened up a whole new exploitive industry targeted at those of us
living with HIV disease. Other sites are mixed with everyone and anyone can join regardless of age. I shelled out a few bucks here and
there - later discovered that many of those HIV Dating sites were owned by the same private interests.

So I said to my best friend that I wanted to make a difference! I wanted to have a place for people like me, who want to easily connect
with others for whatever they are looking for, to enjoy their Internet experience, be able to express themselves freely, meet others HIV
POZ gay men without having to dig into your wallet! Some place where we could share and exchange information, what we listen to
and watch, express ourselves in one place we can call community. A place where everyone is required to put up a face photo and to
fill out a profile. Many of you I am sure share the frustrations of going into a yahoo group, clicking on a Yahoo ID only to discover
NOTHING! The same holds true for those of us who have wasted time discovering NOTHING after receiving Yahoo or AOL IM friend
requests. Then there are those who upload nothing more than a face photo with maybe a few lines of "Looking for LTR, Friends, etc
…." and nothing more - it's like they have parked their car and left it there, rarely responding back to anyone then they wonder why
they never meet anyone - go figure!

Our invites to new members are very short and clear. You must upload a clean G rated photo of yourself and complete the required
profiling after joining. We no longer issue warnings - after three days you are removed from this community. It doesn't take that long to
do the inputs. You can come back later and update the optional TEXT INPUTS if you wish HOWEVER if you choose to just do the
basic profiling we reserve the right to limit your features and access to some areas of this community.

This community is for HIV+ gay queer BI men and their HIV NEG partners If you personally know someone who is HIV NEG who has
openly dated or been partnered with HIV POZ men, they too are welcomed. Those men also are truly a part of our community and
should not be denied access to our community. We DO NOT WELCOME BUG CHASERS - if you start encountering them please let
us know. These guys will lie to get into communities to play their internet games - YEP - personal experience and that shared by
others has taught a few of us lessons. Some of these guys really want an audience or just cyber sex - a friend of mine found out that
a so called gay male bug chaser was really a woman looking for porn pics and entertaining her personal carnal desires- go figure that
one!

Your photos, group/forum postings, blogs, homepages, sharing what you like, what you desire, your dreams, goals, attitudes,
feelings, and "all that jazz" may empower those who need the empowerment. Many of us here have at some time in our Life needed
that empowerment and received from it from what we learned or saw in others. I know I have! We all can make that happen for others
in the smallest ways. To me, that is a community! I hope others will share in this vision of community. Take your time exploring what
we have to offer here - what our members have started to create - and please link WWW.POZQUEERS.COM or
WWW.POZQUEERS.SNAPPVILLE.COM to your Yahoo, AOL, and MySpace profiles.

Invite those you know who are poz by using the invite feature or just let others know that they can email POZQUEERS@yahoo.com
with their first name, age and the state they live in to request an invitation.

"We are all longing to go home to some place we have never been, a place half-remembered and half-envisioned we can only catch
glimpses of from time to time. Community. Somewhere, there are people to whom we can speak with passion without having the
words catch in our throats. Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate
with us whenever we come into our own power. Community means strength that joins our strength to do the work that needs to be
done. Arms to hold us when we falter. A circle of healing. A circle of friends. Someplace where we can be free. " Starhawk

PozQueers Community is made up of varying colors & lifestyles. What we share & have in common is our love for other POZ men and
LIFE. Our sharing and respect of each other only serves to unite, empower and enrich our lives. This community is for HIV POZ men
and those who are POZ FRIENDLY, created for the purpose of social support, meeting new friends or partners, and sharing audio and
visual media that reflects Life and who we are. Information, peer support, networking, history, poetry, literature, art, movies, music and
FUN! This is your community - have fun exploring and sharing!

Your photos, group/forum postings, blogs, homepages, sharing what you like, what you desire, your dreams, goals, attitudes,
feelings, and "all that jazz" may empower those who need the empowerment. Many of us here have at some time in our Life needed
that empowerment and received from it from what we learned or saw in others. I know I have! We all can make that happen for others
in the smallest ways. To me, that is a community!

As it is in any online community there may be content in videos, images, articles, prose and photo albums on some homepages,
forums, blogs, photo albums, groups and other areas that may offend some who do not accept certain lifestyles, thoughts, opinions,
politics, and/or fetishes.

Our themed community pages were created for your enjoyment. Many of them contain historical info while others are just for fun! Most
contain links to forums and other relevant info some may find of interest. Some pages load faster than others, depending on your
processor and connection speed. CLICK ON THE DUNGEONMASTERS LINK for an overview of our current themed pages and more.
Our community moderators develop related WISH LISTS for all themed community pages as a token of our appreciation to SNAPP
networks for allowing us (and you) unlimited use of their platform. The WISH LIST is partnered between SNAPP NETWORKS and
AMAZON. The banner ads at the top and bottom of each page are a partnership between SNAPP and GOOGLE. If you shop for new
and used merchandise on AMAZON.COM please click on the SHOP AMAZON WISH LIST. This community is free to use and we
(and you) currently get unlimited bandwith. You are not limited to the number of photos you can load up into your albums and onto
your homepage.
