More inviting to new-comers

Just an idea, but have a share your "coming out" stories section.

how about we go all the way and clone Internet Infidels in it's entirety? (just kidding, but I do suspect that that's where you got those ideas from.)

There's currently a section for activism.

Another suggestion is to rename Buddhism Forum into Dharmic Relgions so that it covers Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, etc.

Then we merge Christianity, Judaism, and Islam into Abrahamic Religions so that it covers Judaism, Christianity, Judaism, Mormonism, Nation of Islam, Baha'i, etc.

Well, I think that out of the Abrahamic religions it is only Christianity and Islam which receives the most attention, and I would leave it as it is in the current geopolitical situation.
Christianity and Islam are the two largest subjects here and deserve each a section on their own.

Metinks throwing them into one pit would confuse matters more.

But, Buddhism, FSM/Rament (?) New Ageism, Judaism (little interest) could be merged into Other Religions.

The Anything goes forum got lots of use when it was at the top just underneath the General Convo. Forum. I, and I think many others, liked it there and it only became relatively unused when it was moved to the bottom. So I vote for bringing it back to the top of the page and merge the rest of them as ETD.

Not_a_theist's idea sounds good.

The idea of moving 'general discussions' to the bottom is good.

AF could be a little more user-friendly. For example, being a klutz, I accidentally clicked 'ignore' for a certain member I did not want to ignore! I can't find out how to 'unignore' him. I've tried contacting one of the mods, but didn't get a reply. Could we have some more technical support?

I also like the idea of merging all the 'Abrahamic religion' forums into one, and all the 'Dharmic religions' into another forum.

It would also be useful to have a facility along the lines of 'last 50 threads posted to'. This could be hidden, and only called up if needed. Often I want to reply to a thread two or three days alter after I read it, but by then it has disappeared from '10 most recent' into some cyberlimbo, never to be seen again by mortal eye.

Until or if that gets implemented you can bookmark it temporarily and title it in an identifying way. Also if you have replied to the thread in any way, it is part of your own posts and can be found easily that way.
