I'm not particularly concerned with just how popular this forum is (or isn't - and, for the record, I make absolutely no money off of it, this is just a "free" proboards forum). If language like "sociotards" and the econ rumor mill are more your cup of tea, by all means feel free to create your alternative forum.
By the way, I've moved this to the off topic forum, since it doesn't really belong on "questions and advice."

Sounds like econ trolls got tired of having their posts deleted over here and decided to create their own little playground. And if anyone has any doubts:

I don't care about people promoting other forums here, but please don't promote or engage in these forum wars. Likewise, please don't use other forums to get around the rules of this forum. That is, don't post here linking to discussions elsewhere that would violate this forum's rules.

Just a quick note to thank El Duderino for doing what I imagine is the rather thankless work of keeping this forum civil, spam free, and useful.
I, for one, much appreciate both the space, and the rules.

I can't agree more about El Duderino...he/she has been nothing but professional, responsive, and even-handed.
THANK YOU! I appreciate it!

Do you really fancy being in a space that calls sociologists "sociotards"  ? Is that how much you value the decade or more you have spent to get a phd in this discipline? Forget the value, are you a sociologist at all that you have no visceral reaction to this term? Perhaps, you're better off there if neither of the above two apply to you. Thanks, El-D (single person or group) for your moderation and maintenance of this space. I value the time and energy that must go into keeping this forum up. |

Earlier today someone tried to create an account to impersonate (similar name, changing a letter to a number) me and redirect traffic to this other forum. This, along with the fact that this other forum seems designed to essentially mock sociologists, have led me to decide to prevent its promotion here. People interested in that kind of stuff can easily find it through google.
As always, people who have comments or criticism about how this forum is run can post on the meta forum about it. Pretty much the only think I insist on is that this forum not be used to attack named individuals.
