Yeah, but most of us who do like to kick back here, and post nonsense in our downtime, with a smattering of seriousness and drama thrown in to reflect our ancestry.
If it is a serious athiest/rationalist forum with strict rules which are rigidly enforced that you are looking for then rational-skepticism is probably more your cup of tea, a lot of people here are members of both, they tend to be more serious, and possibly less gamable.

I'm not interested in rigid rules.
However, I'm also not interested in dealing with a bunch of corrupt moderators.
