Just curious if they are any plans long or short term to host anything besides the forum on the www.internationalskeptics.com domain. Just posting/publishing some skeptical articles or blogs or whatnot might help us grow as a separate entity from JREF and would help bring in traffic.

Short, quick, answer: yes, I'd like to expand the site outside of just the forums.

What would a few of your off the cuff, non binding idea(s) be? I know previously you've mentioned community building, would such ideas be what you connected (non-bindingly)?

just brainstorming -

* Event listings with maps to make it see what's going on locally
* Member map to see who lives where for possible meetups
* Reddit-like AMAs with well known people of interest to the skeptic community
* IS scholarship fundraising (as per JREF forums for TAM)
* Annotated Skeptics Bibliography (idea from idoubtit to recreate a defunct resource)
* Member Blogs for more permanent/filled-out expression on a topic
* social network w/profiles
* IS coordinated and/or arranged events

Thanks for indulging my curiosity. I look forward to these ideas being fleshed out.

That depends on the location of the caravan .

In Syria it's fine/ignored/part of the uprising against Assad - Near Kirkuk its bad [very very bad] & a threat to world peace.
 
Christ! I'm trying to organize a militia to go and fight alongside the Kurds. How are we supposed to do that calling ourselves "IS" and having a black banner with white lettering?
