Blimey, I've only just registered. I feel so special.

Shocking what's going on over at RDF. I wasn't the most prolific poster ever barely 100 posts so if I'm shell shocked by the whole situation I can't imagine how the mods and veterans are feeling. But I'm glad there is refuge from the cold wastes of the internet here at Rationalia.

I had over 7k posts. I still can't believe it. I certainly won't ever be able to understand it, the community was so strong, even with all the recent technical faults. I can understand them upgrading the system and doing a wipe, but why change it entirely by removing the staff, the forum structure and the ability to freely start topics? It doesn't make sense.

Not good enough. We demand cheese and virgins.
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

She is and her name is Flora on here. Not that she knew more than I did, which in turn isn't much more than you did.

I can't find any virgins. :(

Btw, why the fuck is the RD.Net forum down? I go to take a shower and come back to "Sorry but this board is currently unavailable."

I think the 'charitable status' pretext was part of the real reason underlying those actions. Professor Emeritus Doctor Doctor Doctor Doctor Doctor Doctor Doctor Doctor Doctor Richard Dawkins (yes, he has nine doctorates, eight of them honoris causa) has made a very unsubtle hint indicating that he'd just love to add a knighthood to his list of formal honours, and to get one of those one must not be seen to be associated with anything 'improper'.

Bacon, then? (This is a bacon-based forum, btw. Don't be conned by the vocal cheese minority.)

It looks like the not-so-subtle advertising over at the RD forums paid off at least. A few familiar names have signed up recently so hopefully a good chunk of the posters migrated to here. I can imagine Dawkins et al are going to regret this little adventure one day.
