The "Published" threads at RDF are awful.

[Trolldor]

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

http://richarddawkins.net/discussions/4 ... 6-year-old

It's a post from a 16 year old converted atheist, who introduces himself with 3 pages of backstory. I have no desire whatsoever to read or respond to threads like this and yet they are one of a very limited number of options. They have absolutely MURDERED that forum.

I won't be visiting there - or here- or rationalskeptic - or anywhere! (Since there does not seem to be a genuine RDF Forum replacement, anywhere.)

Oh wow... so basically it's the forum without the hilarity and only the whining?

It's just an awful idea. They gutted a community. It's awful.

Yes, it really is. Many of us know how you feel, having been through it in an earlier RDF upheaval. We moved on as a community and eventually settled here. You're welcome to join us (as many others have) while you recover from your feelings of loss, and I mean that sincerely, JQ. If nothing else, our lighthearted approach may cheer you up a bit and help you move on. If not, all the best anyway.
