When RDF melted down, several members posted at TAF, where I flop around; and one linked to this place in explaining the fiasco. I followed it, and here I are.

these are feelings we might even share
these are thoughts we hide from ourselves
these are secrets we cannot lay bare.

I am yet another refugee from the Dawkins forum meltdown.

I came from pharyngula via the RDF debacle - never been on RDF forums, but thought I'd try here ! :biggrin:

Another one from pharyngula via the RDF debacle, although I've never really been anything more than a lurker on pharyngula. As bad as the RDF melt down seems to have been, I am glad that it meant that I found out about this place. :woot:

A bit of a combination of the second and forth option actually.
I was given a link by PM, from two fellow RDF members, inviting me over. So here I am.

I voted option #3: I saw a reference to it in a thread on the forum I co-admin and decided to take a look when I saw the names of some of the members. Of course, the aforementioned thread happened to be about the recent RDF meltdown. Net fireworks FTW. :mrgreen:

I had been on RDF for almost two years, though an infrequent poster. I'll try and make a worthwhile contribution here.
