The site is harmless. You are Italian captain? The message on your site comes across as somewhat incoherent. Can you communicate, without using pasta or pirate related themes, what you are doing and what it is you want us to do?

I would like to create a great discussion about Atheism and religion thanks to this travel across the Ocean.
I need collaboration to go on with this Idea.

Go on with the site so open a precise discussion.

I would like your collaboration in discussion, Ideas and tecnical help as spread the information as I am doing with your forum.

So you want web hosting for a discussion forum? I use dreamhost. They have a good deal right now. $9.24 for one year of hosting and domain registration. After one year it costs significantly more.

http://www.dreamhost.com/limited-time-s ... n-now.html (http://www.dreamhost.com/limited-time-sale-going-on-now.html)

They have tools to automatically install phpbb, which is the forum software used on this site. It takes a little bit of technical knowhow.

Which host and which hosting package are you using? If the features are described in English I can take a quick look to see if you can install forum software and how you would do so. I don't have the time to do it for you though.

I think you know it is mostly a joke. Pastafarianism is a parody religion. It is a good idea though IMHO.

No offense..but if your web helper is already helping you need to find a new person to help you.

Are you aware that there is already a FSM website?

I know it!! It's the main site...I also contact Bobby Henderson.

The site www.likeapirate.it (http://www.likeapirate.it) is for the specific project of the travel

I'm writing also in Veganza's forum but, I supposed here there are different people with a similar interest.

Anyway if there are other people interested to help the web master I think he could be happy to have more support.
I can give you he's contact.

I don't think the folks on the verganza forum know what he wants to do either. I think he wants to sail a pirate ship between the US and Italy.

In the site is described what I would like to do in general.

I don't like the actual situation of faith in general and I would like to do something...not like you, discussion are very interesting, but people who read it, are already interested. And the people already interested are random and totally always the same if there is always the same situation.

I would like to change the situation, beginning with this metaforical and real travel by ship.

I supposed you were atheist..but you seem more agnostic.."I wouldn't take position"

My position is strong: I can't stand every day see the Pope in television. Come here in italy! I would like to escape!! Science is destroyed by church, everything is destroyed!
I can't believe there are still Theocratic state.

If you don't want a change, tell me it, I will let you free and I would look for more active people.

I suppose my question is, how exactly do you think sailing a pirate ship from America to Italy is going to change or impact anyone or anything beyond making for a kitchy story that will pass through the news in a few days, never to be talked about again?  A lot of people here and elsewhere in the atheist community are involved in local groups that put up bus ads, hold charity events, organize and fund secular camps for children, aid in separation of church and state legal issues and many other worthwhile activities which help a lot in getting our voices heard in our communities.

To blindly assert that no one here is doing anything besides discussing our position, experiences and opinions (which I feel you diminish the importance of greatly in and of itself) because we're not all jumping on the idea of working for you and funding your ocean voyage is ludicrous.  I'm not saying you shouldn't do it or that what you want to do is silly or worthless because if you really want to do it than you definitely should.  I have no doubt you can find people willing to help you and I hope you do.  However, I would suggest softening your tone when asking for help because posts like this make me personally not want to help you at all.  Good luck.

I know it's very important local support, but for example me, I haven't see any local atheist activity. Here local church power is strongher, may be, would be better starting from it, anyway I I would find less support.

I think atheist still have to do the quality leap, and I also think that the travel is not the solution...I would just give a new spirit of action.

I will invite you later when the site will be already done. Your help ( :bananacolor:

For starters you may need to try to find other skeptics in your area.  This may be a difficult task, but if you actually want to engage in activism in the name of Atheism you're going to need extra hands.

Maybe your website should be for Itallians and written in Itallian and later you can get someone to translate it for you.

I would like to keep only the ".it" of italian, just to show that the main problem is here in italy.

I would keep english as lenguage, because it is the way I would like for comunicating during the trip!
Moreover my english is not so bad.... xD

for writing a website in English...yes it is.  I'm just saying you need to consider your limitations when working on projects like this; people generally don't read websites that are written by those who are obviously not fluent.

Anyway, it's your time and money.

Well then, you should try to have two sites one in English and one in Italian.  Especially if you are trying to find people locally to network with.
