Welcome to the new Econudes web site
The web site for all Naturist Eco-, Social- and Political- Activists
Recent happenings
A serious security issue with the content management software we previously used forced our hosting provider to take the web site down. Whoosh… all gone…
That provided me with the incentive to start afresh using much more modern and capable WordPress software. A fresh, colourful start that will attract top notch contributors from the Naturist Universe, I am sure.
But… There is always a ‘but’ of course: You will not be able to ‘just’ sign up for an account on this web site. Instead, our Editor will accept email from interested parties that includes a sample of a proposed post, a verifiable naturist curriculum vitae and a naturist declaration of interests.
Now this all sounds a bit highbrow and official but is simply designed to keep the naturist underbelly riff-raff out. Most serious applicants will be welcomed with open arms and a hug. Let us hear about your interests soon. Write to editor at econudes.org and get the ball rolling.
Advertising, censorship, content rating, chat and trackers
Advertising: This is a visitor supported web site so there is NO advertising on the site whatsoever. Of course you may write a review about a/your naturist facility (and keep it up to date) with lots of nice images, but that is as far as advertising and commercial promotion on this site will go. Paypal donations to help keep this site on line will be gratefully accepted by Editor.
Censorship is for the likes of Google, Facebook and Twitter to play with. On this site your content is safe provided it is demonstrably naturist content. Anything else may be removed and your account could be cancelled if you do not heed the warnings.
Content Rating: Again, all genuine naturist content is welcomed and any serious promoter of the lifestyle will know exactly what that means. This site is ‘G’ rated for all intent and purposes.
Chat: In our experience most Naturist chat boards soon turn into unsafe places, especially for females, and the noise-to-signal ratio tends to be so high that chat soon becomes an absolute waste of time.
Of course we encourage that you comment on posts that stir your interest but the ground rule would have to be that you strictly stay on topic, that is the topic of the post you are commenting on. But don’t worry, your comments are moderated, again to keep the riff-raff out but also to help everyone stay on course. Everyone will be able to comment and there is no need to register for an account. Our sophisticated and automatic spam filters will help greatly with the moderation tasks.
Trackers are nasty little (third party) cookies that are placed on your computer by nefarious organisations like Facebook and Google to track your activities around the internet and build an extensive personal profile. It is said that Facebook knows you even better that you know yourself.
On this web site we are careful and absolutely committed to keeping those tracking cookies well away from our visitors. We will not enable functions and/or install plugins that incorporate such tracking devices. We cannot guarantee however that pages and posts with external links to follow the same policy.
So to perfectly protect your privacy and stay safe we recommend that you use the privacy focussed web browser crafted by Cliqz and install the Ghosterly extension and give Facebook, Google and other Internet criminals the finger. Cliqz and Ghosterly extensions are available for a number of other browsers like Firefox and Chrome so you can stay on familiar ground even while you protect yourself from the vagaries of the Internet.
Do let us know immediately when you encounter a third party tracker cookie on our web site so that we remove the offending script from the page. Thank you. Of course we cannot take responsibility for third party web sites linked from any of the posts here.
Where to from here?
Apart from regularly publishing selected Naturist lifestyle-, Naturist political- and Naturist environmental- posts and commentary, we will be actively promoting the web site through social media and you are invited to do the same. The more the better.
We’ll see you soon,
— Webmaster
