New forum?

[The Curious Squid]

I can understand that some people just won't feel right here, I'm the same on herdofcats.com but I hope that none of you feel you have to leave, I've already seen a few old names and even more new one's that I'd like to get to know better. Good luck to everyone, regardless of what they choose to do.

Paco.

I'm signing up everywhere that'll have me at the moment, with absolutely no shame. I like it here, and I have done since I joined, but I do think that it's important that we largely keep our options open. We have no idea how this is all going to pan out yet, so belt and braces it is.

Just to let you know, Simon has said that he'll start posting the news on the new site once it reaches 100 members. (Actually, I just went back to check, he said "a few hundred". So get over there and sign up!)

Maybe you could put the URL in your sig?

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.rationalskepticism.org][img]http://www.rationalskepticism.org/styles/prosilver/imageset/site_logo.gif[/img][/url]

?

Or maybe:

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.rationalskepticism.org][IMG]http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc223/IAmAFishFlopFlopFlop/RationalSceptics.jpg[/IMG][/url]

?

Either works.

Maybe a stupid question, but could you potentially transfer the RD.net stuff across, or would that be illegal?

I think the second one.

Thanks! Until you get a new logo...

EDIT: for group hug.

i think josh would need to give us access to the archive for that, in the off chance that he ever would, i don't think our servers could take it.

Amen, brother!

BTW I have liked it here the best of those half-a-dozen sites I've had the time to take a quick look at.

I don't see any reason why we couldn't access our wn posts and rejig them for flow. This might trigger some decent convos.

I have always been a bit of a forum junkie, tending to work mostly on one forum, but retaining membership of a few for different purposes. Ratz was my getaway, because it was cosy and quiet. I have always loved it here, although I have never really contributed much.

Wasn't someone talking about resurrecting the whole forum earlier? Is that actually possible?

[hackenslash]

It is my understanding that a complete archive exists. Work is required to make it useable in any meaningful way, but work is being done in this regard.

Thanks for the info.

@mods
I hope this is not considered spam under the current 'circumstances' but if you feel it's inappropiate I won't complain if this thread gets removed straight away.
I've read alot about people feeling discomfort and who are concerned a new wave of ex-RDF members are 'taking over' Ratz.

That's why I'd like to invite everybody to come here:

http://www.rationalskepticism.org/

I don't want to hijack anything and I don't want anybody to sign off here but maybe you'll welcome this idea as well.

The forum is still empty as I've just set it up a few minutes ago.
Any (ex)RDF moderators, admins and of course regular members are welcomed.

Have fun

Wonderful!

However, I have already put down roots here at Ratz. I don't like belonging to more then two forums, so I'll just lurk there from time to time.
