About the Gearjunkies Community

At Gearjunkies we feel that there are ways of opportunities that the Internet offers us, and we want to create a community based on new technology, with which we want to offer you unparalleled features. There is philosophy behind this concept that can be summarized very easily: you are in control!

The whole concept is really easy when you look at it: when you sign up as a Gearjunkie, you create an Internet identity that you can use for everything that is hooked up to the Gearjunkies network. The kickoff of this Gearjunkies network consists of the well known Gearjunkies gear and news archives and the brand new Kitchen, the Gearjunkies discussion forums. The Gearjunkies community technology gives you the option to log in to both these sites using the same account.

What is remarkable about this technology, is that this is only the beginning! A highly extensible and open framework is implemented as the foundation of the community. In practice this means that in the near future, the Gearjunkies website will be extended with a whole lot of features that will be more or less tied to your account, participating in the forums will open up features to your account, all services within the Gearjunkies network will be available in a personalized way for which you make your own decisions if you want to make use of them and what's more important how you want to use them. And it is up to each and every service, independently of one another, how these services are offered.
