My own suggestion, as implied by the lyrics I posted earlier for attention-whor -- er edification, is just that we stop driving in the rear-view mirror, because that's the shit that'll put you in a ditch.
Fair points, but I'm not saying it has to become our full-time obsession (lookin' at you, Girly). But no reason we can't spend some spare time raging against it...the guy literally has on his front page (i'm not clicking on it again) something about "Seth is known for his atheist community building." That can and should be shit on.

Never was alive to me, and the angst is confuzzling to me.
The "angst" I feel comes from him claiming to represent atheists and getting paid for it when he's just another asshole trying to profit off his celebrity and deep voice. And it's not so much "angst" as ambition. I was trained by the Lutherans to hunt down hypocrisy and expose it wherever I find it. It's what the Lutherans trained me to do from a very young age. I became quite adept at it. I'm still quite skilled. Atheists can obviously be just as big hypocrites as Christians. Like obviously.
Amor fati.

My suggestion from TFTMNBN still stands...
Whenever it becomes necessary to create the "Viper's Pit 2.0" we actually call it "Seth's pool", cause it sounds like Cesspool, as a way of honouring his "commitment" to the atheist community.

It is, of course, a pity the good stuff went down the drain, but we should be expecting that on the Internet, where nothing seems permanent.

LOL love it! Sounds like Cesspool if you have a lisp.

You want to know the real irony? I didn't even know, he was running the show until he decided on closing shop. I didn't even know the guy and that he is supposed to be an atheist celebrity. I just didn't care. Just enjoyed the boards.

Meh, my apathy meter is pegged regarding him. He can claim whatever he wants so far as I'm concerned. No doubt he's breathing a sigh of relief, lol.

Fair enough. I reckon that anyone stupid enough to believe that twaddle deserves to labor under misconceptions. Sooner or later they'll get their surprise.

I heard people that were quite upset about all the information being lost. I used to read through some really old threads and maybe someone else in future might want to aswell.
So would a sticky thread with a link to the salvaged scraps of an archive be useful as a resource to this forum?
And has anybody looked for archives of other atheist forums that have shut down?

LOL... I flooded his YouTube videos with acerbic, disparaging—but consistently polite—comments a couple of days ago, but like the ethical
wimp he's turned out to be, he's deleted them all. Apparently he doesn't have the cojones to back up his own alleged atheist stance?
I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.

This is pathetic. Deleting comments I mean.

Hello!
I am trying to find the old thread or information that full circle posted. It was a thread with all the financial discussions and advice from ‘the old forum’. Would it be archived or accessible somewhere? Or am I out of luck?

I don't know if it was ever archived. A search revealed that we have only one short personal finance thread [here], concentrating mostly on Dave Ramsey.
I think we're about due for another financial discussion thread. If you start one up in Off-topic, I'll participate.
