All of the twat waffles at A plus are digging on him and saying it won't work. It will just become anti atheism plus, yada, yada. They also say it won't be successful. Part of me wants to launch a campaign to make it successful just so those bitches choke on it. (Yeah, read that, you fucking elitist cunts.) Anyway, if anyone is interested in giving the dude a boost, http://atheismplus.freeforums.org/index.php
They start up another one of those once a month or so. Here's the last one I found:

I like the idea a lot more. Less moderation means greater opportunity for dissent, more open mindedness and less 'douchebaggery.' Unfortunately, none of the attempts have been especially organized well enough to to really get going and since the members of the unmoderated forum are almost entirely banned Atheism+ members, all they do is bitch about Atheism+ (and while their criticisms are pretty valid, listening to the same old song and dance over and over again gets old; seriously, they always have a sub-forum dedicated specfically towards criticisms about A+ and it always winds up being the one with the most posts). Also, Atheism+ got started because of well known names in the atheist/secular/skeptic community endorsed it on heavily read blogs in the communities. None of these forums have that, at least not yet.
I want it to work; hell, I'd go out of my way to help it work, but it just needs to be better organized and better promoted and more united.
