I realize that this may not be the right place, but as you have successfully appealed for an area to commit to a brotherhood in Christian fellowship (which I personally commend), would it be unreasonable to deny a similar request for online fellowship from the (albeit small) community of equally pious worshipers?

There's a very small number of disciples of the Amarna Heresy left, and we Atenists, largely considered the fraternity of the first major monotheistic religion (and possibly a precursor to Judaism), do humbly request the support of this community for the creation of another subforum, strictly dedicated to Atenist Fellowship.

It seems kind of odd that you would ask a bunch of people that wouldn't be part of that community to support it. I think you should make a site suggestion and have the people who would actually be using the forum support it and see what happens.

You have my support.
I myself am not a Atenist, but I am open to all religions, and would like to learn more about Atenists.

It's been shown that my very ancient faith is a precursor to Judaism.

Since the vast majority of Christian faiths are Abrahamic religions, wouldn't you think it appropriate to ask their support first?

however, the people here do not believe in the same thing you do most likely, so why not get those that do to support it instead of a bunch of other people who aren't going to use the forum really.

I never said they couldn't use an Atenist Fellowship forum, actually, if such a subforum were created, I'd consider them welcome to it.
Since I've seen this general chat area of subforums grow from a basic few to several additional subforums as a need was met, I'd consider the new benefactors of such growth to be the most sympathetic to a minority of those hopeful to attain a similar status, hence the appeal.

I see :) Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be mean.
