I guess it's mostly RDF members spreading out the net, but seriously... we are being watched. *tinfoil*
I knew I should of listened to 5th_Ape when he tried to warn me that it was all just one big fucking cover-up.

I'd bet Dawkins is a fucking Reptilian Overload.

*puts on foil hat*

Aaah, thats better.

Do any of you ex-RDF'ers have any links to some threads explaining what really happened? I am still kind of in the dark here. Was it something I said? :naughty:
If you start reading part 1 of this thread, it all unfolds pretty quickly in there.

Anything remotely resembling dissent has been purged from the servers at RDF and any posters complaining, even well regarded mods like mazille and Darwinsbulldog have had their entire posting history deleted.

Anybody invited susu over. I'd hate to think we can't replicate some of the technical discussions over here.

Might I suggest an added section to the "Serious Stuff" section dealing directly with "Evolution". The "Science, Technology & Environment" can contain it, but part of my enjoyment of RD was knowledgeable people on evolutionary biology. My personal interest is in algorithms, but borrowing ideas from biology is very useful. That's also where more than a few IDers tended to go.
