A multilingual forum has been installed in 2005 on the arenophile.com website. The forum has suffered multiple changes and upgrades over the time and it has evolved into an advanced online platform for sand collectors from all over the world. The forum provides sections in seven languages (EN, DE, NL, FR, IT, ES, PT) and a series of custom functions such as Extended member profile, Tradelist upload, Rating of sand trades etc. Click on the banner below to visit the Sand Forum International and leave the Sand Atlas website:
