As many users will relate, the CoE Journals were used by some as a way to chat, put their thoughts down and connect, while others used the journals as a mode for clubs…

There is a soft wind blowing through the open spaces of the enormous cave. Drops are falling from stalagmites into the dark water in an ongoing rhythm. A strange place for a meeting, you might think, no chairs, no tables, no microphones and no coffee. Yet this place is the only place that would be…
