Chatroom + Staff
August 26, 2008 at 3:33 pm
In case you hadn't noticed the new "Shoutbox" on the main page, I have installed a chatroom on the site. It is a Java applet so you will need Java installed, or you can connect by using any IRC client and entering the following information:

Server: irc.msgplus.net
Channel: #atheistforums

The shoutbox is simply there to be used for idle banter, or if you want to make a quick announcement. It supports all basic BBCode so you can post in bold, italics, etc, as well as links.

Also I would like to welcome two new staff members:

Darwinian and Ace

They have both been very active members on the old forums, and they have past experience administrating and moderating forums. Hopefully the three of us will be able to keep the forum under control and perform necessary modifications until more hands are needed.

Never fear, it's the amazing 3! Big Grin

Any problems, Contact us.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention the new profile option "Belief" although it seems most of you have found it. I think "belief" is a bit better than the "religious views" one since atheism technically isn't a religion, nor is it a view of religion.

lol...

All we need now is one more admin and we'll have the four horsemen....

But I guess Dawkins is already selling a dvd of the four horsemen which include: Him, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett and Christopher Hitchens.

I guess the question perhaps is out of these four horsemen which one is which horsemen? lol.

Not very. We used it before we got the shoutbox, and we've used it to chat better when we realise many people are using the shoutbox at once Smile
