• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

Welcome new Members! Introduce yourselves here!

This was previously the JREF forum, it was renamed when James Randi retired and a forum member took it over. I'm pretty sure it's never been called the Atheist Forum.

So welcome back to a different forum you used to be a member of, OhMan. :)
 
I've only ever been a member of JREF and ISF. Never this "Atheistic Forum". Anyway, welcome!
 
Yeah I saw in my backend there had been a "server migration" so came to the wrong conclusion. I was definitely a member of both forums back in the day. I do wonder what happened to Atheistic Forum but I guess a lot of members simply jumped ship over to here.

Welcome back OhMan, sorry to say that I don't recall you though I do recall Steenkh, mostly from the SMM&T sub-forum. This is the only forum I've even been on and I generally don't participate in the R&P sub-forum, though I may lurk there a bit. Still, always nice to meet another "Man" clan member, I haven't been to the family reunions for years.
 
Hello, I don't know much about this place, but someone in the past linked from here to another forum I was a longtime member of. Unfortunately, bad things have occurred on that forum and I am forced to leave and find another place to talk politics and other things. I hope that is here.

Welcome to the forum, Warbler. Hang out, lurk, jump in when you are ready. There are a lot of things always going on here.
 
Introduction

Hi I am old sceptic, with a love of science, transport, geo politics and everything nature, who lives in the dry tropics, and loves spirited discussion.

Thanks The Man.

Curious there is no like button.

The concept has been discussed many times in the past. And the consensus is that long-term members didn't like the idea of turning conversations into a popularity contest.

That said, there is a literal popularity contest on this forum - the Foolmewunz Memorial Language Awards, the thread for which you will find in Community. The Nominate button at the bottom left of a post allows you to nominate that post for an award, which is decided monthly and the winner of which gets a nifty banner beneath their name. It's not the same as a Like button, though - it should be used to express appreciation of the language of a post, not to simply express agreement with it.

This is one of just many ongoing traditions that await your discovery. Soon, you too will discover the joy of dicksing your own potatoes!

If I recall correctly the editing window, for any post, is two hours.

ETA: Within that window the edit button will appear first on the lower right.
