Is some nefarious bad guy out there quietly threatening the owners of atheist forums?  "Quietly shut down your forum...or else..."

Well, shit.  I just went there.  I can think of a few people who will be getting invites over here.

Sucks but it sounds oddly like the reason that TTA folded.

What exactly happened over there?  Someone said that they were allowing more theists, or some such thing?

I joined awhile back. It's poorly posted in, so no surprise about it shutting down.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I hate how mysterious he's being, but I'm nosy that way. Hate being left hanging.

Oh, well. Haven't posted over there in years. Felt kind of cliquish.

You rated us "pretty good". In Min-speak, that's A ++, right?  Tongue

It could be happening for an innocuous, unexciting reason that the owner just wants to keep private. The problem with not communicating the reason is that people tend to fill in the blanks themselves.

I'm not one to fill in blanks, but I would have to say that what probably happened is the owner fell into a gambling, hooker, and drug-fueled debt to the Pope, who has sent out a bunch of really pale bald assassins to square up and the only way to make things right is to shut down the forum.  It's all quite obvious.

Wait, I keep forgetting that there's two different AF's.  One is a .com and the other is....?

There's always been a it of confusion, because they are both called "AtheistForums". The one allegedly closing is a .com, and the one many people are allegedly bailing from is a .org. AF.com has always been small, as far as I can tell.

Now there is only the .org variety of AF.

Gee, all these sites folding for flaky reasons kind of reflect badly on the greater community. Maybe atheists just don't do community very well. Well, until this place at least. (Aliza/Mathilda hold out for big money!)
