Welcome to the International Skeptics Forum, where we discuss skepticism, critical thinking, the paranormal and science in a friendly but lively way. You are currently viewing the forum as a guest, which means you are missing out on discussing matters that are of interest to you. Please consider This forum is smaller and therefore better suited to what I want. I can get a sense for who people are. Granted sometime they change their forum handles and I get really confused (you know who you are... even if I don't anymore), but we have some people who are active in spurts (SQ the enigma or NeutralMilk for example), and yet have been here long enough that you know who they are when they grace us with their presence. Then there are somewhere around 30 posters who are here reliably pretty much every week in some form, each with their own posting styles, personalities, and interests. It's small enough that I feel like reputation matters a bit. You have to actually be concerned that what you say in one thread will be remembered and held against you if you contradict yourself elsewhere. There's a size which just makes even frequent posters fairly anonymous or reduces all people to caricatures or stereotypes because you can't keep them straight. I just got the sense that the community was too big to really have the feel of a community that I like. a b http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2012/650/649/2012-650649443-0924dfee-9.pdf [ bare URL PDF] The James Randi Educational Foundation Scholarships".

As part of the JREF's goal of educating the general population about science and reason, people involved in their community ran a popular skeptic based online forum [28] with the overall goal of promoting "critical thinking and providing the public with the tools needed to reliably examine paranormal, supernatural, and pseudoscientific claims". [29] The foundation produced two audio podcasts, For Good Reason which was an interview program hosted by D.J. Grothe, promoting critical thinking and skepticism about the central beliefs of society. It has not been active since December 2011. [19] Consequence was a biweekly podcast hosted by former outreach coordinator Brian Thompson in which regular people shared their personal narratives about the negative impact a belief in pseudoscience, superstition, and the paranormal had had on their lives. It has not been active since May, 2013. [20] Form from 2008 for The James Randi Educational Foundation(cite line 12)" (PDF). Foundation Center. [ permanent dead link]
