I probably wouldn’t use it much myself, but from here:

I gleaned that it might be a good add on under the Otherkin section. If there are enough interested or that would use it might you guys want one?
I dunno.
It would help those of us who are stuck in-between categories.
Well, it would help for the dark kin stuck between categories, anyway <!-- s

I would use it, but I'm not sure how many dark kin there are here . . . though looking at some of the other categories, I'm not sure how many people fit them, either.
What about the DarkKin Forum? It's true that it's depressingly slow, largely because there isn't a huge need for it to begin with, but since it already exists and there are already a collection of dark kin there, it seems unnecessary. Why not just refer people to it?
Mainly because it isn't part of OKP - it has no connection to it other than the two adorable folks (*ahem*) who run it are also OKP staff. There are dedicated forums out there for therians, angels, dragons, etc - but there's still a place for them to have sub-forums here.
i wouldn't mind a dark kin forum being added, it'll give me another place to post on this forum.
I'm more a fan of the idea of an "energy beings" forum or something similar, I have always felt that "Dark kin" sounds a little rpish to those on the outside looking in. Is there a better word or description we could come up with than "Dark kin?"
Nothing general, no. Energy beings would probably be a better move anyway, as theoretically it covers shadows, demons, brighty lighties (who currently just have the "But it's not just Judeo-Christian angels, honest!" celestial forum).
An energy being forum sounds good to me.
