The forum is up and running. Thanks to invisionfree for the hosting (and, to be honest, most of the work). Register if you'd like, and start helping us debate.

Please read the rules before posting.

First debate participation (besides me)! Excellent. I'm psyched.

Changed member settings from defaults. Now the only differentiation is between people who post and people who haven't. Because, in the end, if you're trying to make useful, intelligent contributions, it doesn't matter what your post count is.

Please see the poll in the lounge section concerning a consequence of this change.

Added a rule against multiple accounts in the rules thread. I don't expect anyone here to try to manipulate polls with extra accounts, but I felt the rule ought to be in place anyway.

Server was down a good portion of today (from when I woke up this morning til almost 4). It was out of my control, but I apologize anyway if any of you were motivated by my email to come and participate only to find the forum was unavailable.

Changed the setting for displaying threads. It was set by default to ones that had been active in the last 30 days before, and some of our threads have been inactive for longer than that and were no longer visible. They should all be visible now though.

We now have our own domain: www.logicalpolitics.org. I've registered the .com version too just to prevent other people from using it, and set it up to redirect ot the .com. You can send emails to "administrator@logicalpolitics.org" if you'd like, but they just get forwarded to me anyway. The forum name has been changed to reflect the new domain.

I've changed the style sheet; I kept the basic blue/white scheme but I think the new arrangment is easier on the eyes, and looks a little more professional. If you feel otherwise, feel free to let me know (there's a thread here for that). Also, you can reply there if you notice anything that seems "wrong". For example, I only just caught an error where the area for poll options was its old blue color, while the background around the text of the options themselves were the new white, which looked rather shoddy.

Registration now requires administrator validation, in order to prevent another situation where I don't log on for a while and there are over 5 pages of spam topics. Considering the amount of legitimate members who've registered lately, this probably won't make any difference to people who actually want to use the board.

Also, everyone who joined since the last legitimate member that I know of had their accounts deleted. It's possible that you could have been a legitimate member and had not posted yet, or had posted something that seemed very much like spam. If this is the case, register again, and if your IP address and email don't look suspicious, I'll validate you.
