Refugee thread!

[Alan V]

Thoreauvian, I saw that you PMed a brief discussion. Can you do the same for me? I'm curious as to what happened. I missed the last throes of drama over there. But it seems this place is good one to inhabit.

I'll just post this here instead of sending you a PM.

At the end of September, Seth decided to close the Thinking Atheist discussion forum.  He wanted to do it in just a couple days, but then relented and gave us a week.  He would not allow us to copy the forum to a new location and continue it as it was, so Mathilda took the initiative and created the Atheist Discussion forum.

Many of TTA's previous members immediately signed up for the new forum and we are now continuing our discussions pretty much as before.  Some came here instead, and some like me started posting regularly at both forums.  Unfortunately we lost a few members, like Jennybee and Momsurroundedbyboys for instance.

In most people's opinions, Seth never provided an adequate explanation for his decision, though we asked him to.
