Welcome. 
We have a News/Politics section here:
http://rationalia.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=22
... and shit loads of others. Some in the serious section have been known to stay on topic, amazing, I know.
Anyway, enjoy your stay and don't feed the Zilla.

Re: hello
Hi and welcome.
In a brief nutshell...
TAF (Thinking Aloud Forum) was established when the RDnet Vets' and original (feral) off topic forums were closed.
This forum (rationalia) was established a year ago by members of TAF when we became alienated from that site.
rationalia has been a 'lifeboat' for many of the people who were recently shut out of and angered/disillusioned by the circumstances of the recent RDnet forum closure.
rationalskepticism, as I understand it, has been established as a forum for ex RDnet members to gather to reestablish their community.

funny though, the abruptness of the complete destruction of offtopic should have served as a warning for the eventual destination of the forum, oh well though, at least nineberry (and others) are trying to preserve all of the hard work put into that forum
