TsukuBand is a posting forum launched in November 2006.
The goal of TsukuBand is to provide a forum for socializing, event planning and general conversation amongst Tsukuba residents. An article on TsukuBand was published in The Alien Times in December 2006.
TsukuBand's creators felt there was a void in this area as the current available mailing lists have strong restrictions on acceptable content and conversational emails are frowned upon because they cause inbox-clutter.
Registration is required to post on the forum, but its contents are open and visible to the public.
