What you can do to help...

We need to make sure that people can find us. There are a few measures you can take. Firstly, change the location in your RDF profile to the url for here. Secondly, change your avatar for the following:

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q301 ... alia-1.jpg

If you can host it yourself, so much the better. The first copy has been spotted as a possible attack, so the more different locations it comes from, the better. It's only a matter of time before the Khmer Rouge spot it anyway and turn avatars off, but if we get enough copies on the board, most of the regulars are intelligent enough to find us.

Finally, if you have a youtube account, mirror/share/rate/favourite the following video, or make one of your own.

Let's see how many souls we can save. I've put this in a different thread because it keeps getting buried in the traffic. Do what you can to save the community.

Thanks again to the lovely peeps here for the soup, blankets and a warm place to hunker down until the worst is over. Our gratitude cannot be sufficiently expressed.

Thanks for the tip. I changed my avatar to point in this direction. Might get to one or two peeps.

Maybe those of us going to the Conference in Australia can ask RD all about this in person? Arrange a little protest or something?

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Done.

Dowload the video and upload it to your channel. If you open the vid in youtube, there is a direct download link in the sidebar.

Go to http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=1 ... opic=15944

We are calling for Josh and Andrew's resignations and reinstatement of the forum.
The new forum, a pheonix indeed, is at http://www.rationalskepticism.org. Ex RDF guys, that is home for those that want it.

If you have threads you want to preserve ( I had a mere 10,000 posts and Climate news was 115 PAGES!!!!! :doh: :nono: )

You can go to print view and copy an entire page with images and ( hopefully ) links intact.

Not sure many have the same situation as the climate change crew but some of you might have some personal opuses ( opii? ) to retrieve.
