You're posting on the "visitable" site. We've moved the forum from a dedicated server in seattle to a "cloud server" in new york. It's still owned by JREF. This was to (a) improve performance (b) get it off hardware at risk of failure (c) make it simpler and faster to transition the forum to the new ownership.
We'll now be setting up the new forum under the new branding in the same "cloud" data center (so rapid copying of data) but with personal information deleted and a process in place for members to approve the new T&C and transfer of personal data. |

Transition seamless from my POV. Don't know why but it seems my most recent posts have been emailed to me.
Is it still the JREF forum??? I send people here. |

For now, yes. Not for long. Address change coming sometime, not sure when.

Slowly, slowly, catchee monkey! Make sure the foundation (in that other sense of the word from the one we've been using) is solid and that the nuts and bolts are all threaded right. It's better to miss by a few days or even weeks than to do round-peg-in-square-hole forces just to meet an arbitrary deadline.
But you guys know that.... |

In brief, The James Randi Educational Foundation decided The Forum was unnecessary baggage.
Member, Icerat, is now hosting The Forum, but it can't get on without a name change. It will become The International Skeptics Forum and will continue with pretty much the same membership agreements. I for one welcome out new Arctic Rodent Overlord. |

I won't, but I can't say the same for the rest of you. There can be only one.

Wow I have to say this was the smoothest transition I've ever been in. This new site looks just like the old.

It looks like my registration will fall in a Crack in the universe . This means that after this event it will never have existed in the first place.

There are other ways to deal with rabbits.
Though best dealt with before they get too big.

A bit bland looking, as is the home page, which is a surprisingly rather noisy place, despite the conspicuous lack of activity...
One could speculate it's the sounds of construction, but I distinctly heard gunfire, so I'm assuming this is instead some sort of direct hostile takeover. Of what, I do not know. |

Kopji - It's a long o like in 'cope', so sounds more like koepee than 'kawpee' like in copulate or copy. But willing to bend the rulez for pun. Being an occasional project manager I was not serious and never expect anything delivered on time except stuff that doesn't work. :-)
