I got this from a friend:
A new website called SyriaForum.org has recently been opened on the Internet. The main feature of the website is a comprehensive discussion forum about several different topics pertaining to Syria (examples: politics, society and culture, arts and entertainment, religion, human rights, news, etc). The forum is completely open and is virtually unmoderated.
On top of the discussion board foundation, a news section featuring short summaries and links to current articles concerning Syria is operating. The best part about this is that it is controlled by users of the website. Whoever signs up for a free account gains not only the ability to start discussions on the forums but also to submit news items to the website.
Given a bit of time to mature, moral support from the Syrian community, and dedication by its users, I believe SyriaForum.org has the capacity to become an important feature of Syrian society on the internet. Not only will it provide a means of making connections between Syrians all over the world, but perhaps more importantly it will provide a valuable resource for non-Syrians to learn more about Syrians and their culture.
