Done - thanks for the easy method.

I would have felt better voting for WonderCafe2 if you had included the electric boogaloo part.  

done - no comments at this time

What happened to FightClub.ca???

You do not talk about fightclub.ca.

sorry

Done. Nuff said.

Is there anything to stop a person voting twice? I was tempted to try just to see if I could. 

As in anything, there are ways around just about any block put up.  We hope that folks will respect the integrity of the site.

Done :)

(appreciative of all the hard work of chansen, Pinga, and Mendalla ).

done

keepin' this thread Active!

p3 - Mendalla can answer for sure - but when I have used Survey Monkey, there is a provision for only one vote per address.  So is it possible - sure - some people will find their ways, but most here are honourable I think :-) 

Done,

oops, i am done too!

I wish all online surveys were that quick and painless!

Mendella is the man!

Voted yesterday.

I have set it to allow only one vote per address but that does not stop someone from going to a friend's house or the library if they want to vote twice (or from voting from both home and work). The only way around that is to remove some of secrecy so I can see who voted and where, but not what their exact vote was. Not sure SM even supports that.

Thanks for clarifying, Mendalla. Inquiring minds wanted to know. 

Bump. Just want to keep it visible. Haven't checked today, but we had 32 votes in as of yesterday so let's keep things moving. If you want a say in the name of our user-run and supported WC successor, see my opening post and vote by noon on Friday.

Why did futureatheists.ca not make the list???

Was poking around on a Catholic forum the other day, Chansen. Stardust gave us the link on one of the threads. I thought of you immediately. You wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes!

I've said it before - most Christian forums have a strict "no promoting atheism" policy. They have to.

Granted, part of that is to eliminate some flame wars, but a lot of it has to do with creating a safe haven for Christianity. I would call it a "bubble", others would call it a "fostering environment". I don't think it's fostering when you intentionally keep competing ideas away from people. Christianity is losing young people to nonbelief at an alarming rate. If you can't engage with nonbelievers on your site, that will mean any curious people from your group will have to seek out atheistic forums to learn about atheism, where they won't get your side of the argument.

It's a sorta damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't scenario.

My problem is I hate atheist forums. They suck. It's all self-congratulatory crap. Some are nice to believers, but there's nothing to discuss otherwise. It really is like a group of people who got together because they don't collect stamps. It's boring.

That's why I like this place.

I've already voted like 16 times to be sure that my favourite gets chosen!  But I want to give you all a fighting chance, so let's keep this thread current!

hmm, that is likely my fault.

I challenge you to a duel!

Pick your weapon sir.  Remember, I was doing target practice the other week, and wasn't bad with a Colt with a compensator? on it

I choose ski poles.

I have clicked my choice... Once...!

I agree with you chansen about sites that are too exclusive. While including everybody is not possible or even desirable in my opinion, I need a board to have a bit of diversity in order to not only challenge me, but to help be better understand my faith and become better at articulating what it is.  It's a balance.

As to Christian sites keeping atheist out, I do not believe it is because  they are afraid of their children turning, but that they themselves have such weak faith and too many doubts. They will say the need to defend God, but in reality they are afraid of having doubts, and turn their back on faith, because faith require doubts.   And their God is so small they are unable to have faith in it.

bump!

I'm curious as to the number of voters?

I thought this was a secret ballot?

Now, that everyone confessed that they voted, I too must say that I voted. Once. But I won't say what I voted for.

24 hours left to vote! Vote once and vote...well, once!

Mendalla

Secret ballot means who voted what is secret. Doesn't stop people from saying that they did vote or me from revealing that we are up to ... 34 votes. Not much action in the last day, in other words (which may be a good thing to the extent that it suggests no vote hacking is going on). Come on people! Make sure you get your say in the name of our new online community!

I voted for Clay Aitken because I still think he was robbed in Season Two of American Idol.

Ruben was better.

What's American Idol?

Not a gorilla!

I vote for whatever will make SPRING get to my town!

Spring seems to be here in London (positive daytime temps forecast for an entire week!). Hope its coming your way, Kay.

And we are down to the final hours. The poll closes automatically at noon EDT (forgot to specify time zone in my original post). I can't promise an exact time for the results (depends on how long my morning meetings at work go) but I'll endeavour to post them asap, probably by 5pm EDT and certainly by 10pm EDT.

This is the first of many steps in getting the next generation of our online home built. Please contribute you input by voting!

Mendalla

I've forgotten which I voted for - I liked them all!  

I don't really care which of the three choices gets the most votes. I like them all!

I'm no good at calculating the time difference... voting is closed now?

Yes. In fact, I will be posting an announcement soon.

Mendalla

Thanks for you work on this, Mendalla!
