@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
New forum?
Re: New forum?
No it's not Spam ... the mods don't behave like that around here 
Oh and well done

Re: New forum?
Hope this isn't too OT or anything, but when you say you've read "alot" about it, is it really a lot compared to the number of welcomes and 'glad-to-have-yous'? My impression is that it's just been a couple of people who mainly wanted to curb some of the verbal abuse towards you-know-who.life wrote:...I've read alot about people feeling discomfort and who are concerned a new wave of ex-RDF members are 'taking over' Ratz.
Anyway, however it turns out...

We'll have as many reactions as we have people, each one somewhat unique. For me, it's rather interesting, and a lovely way to show how an internet community should act. I know a few "observers" who are furiously making notes on this as we speak. The stone is in the pond, so to speak, and the ripples are spreading.
And no, mentioning another forum is not a sin here. We'll have people who stay here, people who only come to hook-up and move on, and everything in between. We're people, not tiles, so that's perfectly natural.

Dang. My work filter says "Potentially Damaging Content". 
I guess the filter thought I was a theist or something.

Re: New forum?
We have a few members who can't access sections of this site at work. Of course, given their workplace it's surprising they can access Google.

Re: New forum?
I worry though that another forum will just spread out the community. Here seems like a good place!

I have one FireFox window with eleven forums open most of the time. At 121.92 meters there's enough of me to go around.dylan wrote:I worry though that another forum will just spread out the community. Here seems like a good place!

Re: New forum?
New forums do spread out the community. We used to be part of a forum twice the size we were before the recent influx. Sometimes, it's for the best. Anyone who feels comfy cozy here is welcome to stay though.
