A little note to inform those folks who don't know already that a bunch of us have gotten together and set up a forum to which everyone here is welcome:
Psience Quest. As with Chuck's forum, it is simply an alternative - there's no need to choose exclusively one of the three; you can feel free to join and post to all three forums.
We had been planning this forum before Chuck made his announcement of his own forum, and decided to follow through even though there is now already an alternative in Chuck's liberaparolado.
We took some time to evaluate the various free forum software packages out there, and ended up going with MyBB. We think you guys will like it - it has WYSIWYG editing, video embedding, and we have even managed to successfully install plugins to support "likes" and alerts. Its PM system supports multi-participant conversations as on Skeptiko (although you have to remember to click "Reply All" as with emails).
As of right now, we don't have much in the way of rules, guidelines, moderation principles, etc, and we hope that new members will help us figure all of that stuff out collaboratively.
@Alex, we would very much appreciate it if you were willing to export the forums which you have soft-deleted, as you seemed to indicate you were earlier in this thread - MyBB has an import tool, so we could potentially use that to import those forums and threads which you no longer care to host here on Skeptiko. Please let us know if you are still amenable to this possibility, and, if so, let's make it happen!
OK, thanks everybody, we hope to see you on Psience Quest!
