Well, I started out with [foundationist.org](http://foundationist.org) in April. After three weeks a serious hack attack brought the server down. The following six weeks have been spent redesigning the site under a new neutral premise, testing it on uncertain servers, before finally finding a safe and secure home to grow and expand from - reluanched as [comparative-religion.com](http://www.comparative-religion.com) So if anyone wants me I’m busy building up my forum at > **[Game Berita & Update Situs Judi Bola Online Fun88 Indonesia](http://comparative-religion.com/)** > > Kami berkomitmen menghadirkan berita dan artikel terbaik untuk memenuhi kebutuhan anda dalam mencari situs judi bola online termasuk fun88 indonesia login alternatif 🙂 Best regards all, back soon!

Thanks, folks. Taken time, and will take a lot of work still. Yeah, those atheist 404’s are a bummer. 🙂 And if you find “Dog” then you’re probably close to something…even if it is “Dog”. 🙂 ---

I don’t mind Dog. He’s pretty laid back these days. 🙂 Cool site design, btw. Probably one of the cleanest I’ve seen in a while. ---

All right, all right, as usual, **Polycarp** is right. Not only have I signed on, I plan on recommending it to **HJay** if he ever gets his internet connection back up. Besides, it looks like I’ll be needing a new religious message board to hang out at. CJ ---

That place, so far, looks a lot less confrontational than any religion MB I’ve ever seen. Of course, there are also fewer than 500 posts there, too. If there were a Pit there I’d have joined already. What? Me, cynical? Me thinking I might explode? Perish the thought!😉 ---

(ahem) 700 posts now. 🙂 Actually, you’re right. It’s all nice and friendly at the moment, but every online community changes as it grows. Last site I built up was a philosophy site on MSN. With all due respect to them, it attracted a lot of “fringe” people. Having an intelligent conversation became quite difficult. No doubt it is only a matter of time before the hardliners challenge [comparative-religion.com](http://comparative-religion.com) and inter-faith dialogue faces flames. But that’s the challenge of managing a forum - being able to maintain an original direction and sense of identity, when community membership will essential provide their own identity pressures. So much as I’m looking to see the place grow - and grow it will - I know this is going to be a difficult ride. But interestnig as well. I knew that before I started. A toast, to the future, whatever it brings. 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/all-paths-lead-to-god/181581.md?page=2)
