Will www.internationalskeptics.com be only the forums?
//Note: Sorry I wasn't 100% sure whether to post this here, down in FMF, or elsewhere. Mods/Admin feel free to move as appropriate//
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. |

There seems to be little interest in doing more:

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 |

If we ran something like Meetup.com for the members it might be popular.

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?
