Instant Messaging
QuietJourney Forums is all about community and communication while maintaining each member's privacy goals. And there are plenty of ways to communicate: Posting on the boards, Instant Messaging, E-mail, ICQ, AIM and YIM. Of course, all methods of communication are only available to members.

Unregistered users are NOT allowed to view the Member List or send Personal Messages to members.

What's an Instant Message?
As an alternative to e-mail, QuietJourney Forums offers a faster, more private method. Instant Messaging on the boards provides instantaneous delivery to the recipient's Private Mailbox. The mail is sent and received entirely through QuietJourney Forums, so neither you nor the recipient have to open another program or leave your browser.

Instant Messaging also gives both the sender and recipient greater privacy: No one's real e-mail address is revealed. Instant Messages show only the handle and name of both parties.

If a recipient isn't online, Instan Messages wait in the member's IM box until the next time s/he logs in and manually reads and/or deletes them. QuietJourney Forums Instant Messages is a self-contained, highly private e-mail system.
