Best Dating Site?
IAMGROOT comments on Mar 24, 2018:
Dude, you landed here on this site, which advertises itself as a dating site. How could you leave it out? Online dating has become huge business. I don't think I would use any paid dating site. I love this site because it is filled with like-minded people which eliminates a big faction (the ...

Best Dating Site?
MollyBell comments on Mar 24, 2018:
I've dated people from Match and okCupid (and agnostic.com, kudos @admin). Between the first two, I like okCupid *far* more than Match. I think their matching algorythm is great (still seeing and *deeply* in love with my first 99% okCupid match). I deleted Tinder after a month because of dudes ...

Will FOSTA affect other dating sites, internet companies?
Admin comments on Mar 24, 2018:
What's your thoughts on free speech here? Does the government have the right to make a website responsible for the behavior of their members OFFLINE? For every instance of prostitution faciliated from online dating, there are hundreds of somewhat normal people meeting each other.
Admin replies on Mar 24, 2018:
@bingst The scary thing is that the DMCA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act enables websites to let users interact freely without the website having to worry about getting sued. For example, what happens if someone uses this site for some sort of sex deal? We might be liable under FOSTA but have no way to know way to police people who violate terms of service. Should Match and Tinder be turned off too because of legal fear?
Why do men ask other men if their girlfriends have single friends and can hook them up?

Admin replies on Mar 24, 2018:
@Allikat Sorry if my response was a bit snarky. My point was that men ask their coupled friends for date intros as the return on the investment (just asking) is high as the chance of a successful outcome is higher than other sources.

No app for this site?! :( First time on here, let's see what happens.
Admin comments on Feb 21, 2018:
Welcome to our site :) The app is in development and hopefully we can roll it out in the next few months.
Admin replies on Mar 21, 2018:
@Mike602 Ah that text. "doesn't know if a god(s) exists" and "sees no evidence" are quite similar as it all depends on the definition of "know" and "evidence". We are emphasising "evidence" as a key to agnosticism as it changes the discussion with religious people. Instead of a conversation about knowing and believing which often leads nowhere, we can have a conversation about evidence. Faith - the belief in something without evidence - can be challenged indirectly by discussing evidence. Does a religious person think that there is less evidence for other major religions than theirs? Once they say "yes", just ask why and let the cognitive dissidence nudge them.

Alternatively, you can turn off "website alerts" on desktop as we use the same settings for that... but make sure we don't send more than 1 alert each hour. :)

Hmmm. It is very unlikely that our app would negatively interact with your phone as it uses only a tiny fraction of memory (it uses your phone's built-in browser for most of the pages).

Having groups was one of the ideas that came out of that. I personally feel that outspoken conservative non/un-believers have the potential to have more positive impact to the advancement of secularism than liberals.

First, the "Bell" alerts and app alerts are the same (we summarize some that go to the app so it doesn't get too many buzzes). Good ideas! Will think about it... especially as we roll out humanist.com
Did you post a "hello" in General & Hellos when you first joined this site?
Admin comments on Mar 5, 2018:
Useful question! We are trying to improve how many new members come back and the current design can be a bit overwhelming. Ideas?
Admin replies on Mar 5, 2018:
@BeerAndWine 1. we toyed about having nested comments but often it gets out of control (will think more about it). 2. "block members" is similar to "mute"... perhaps if we change it to "mute" more people would use it?

@BlueWave Over 80% of new members don't make it to level 3. We're trying to provide more value to these members so they "stick" with it.
We just released iPhone and Android apps for Agnostic.
bingst comments on Mar 5, 2018:
Are you sure it's Android 5.0 or higher? It says 4.2 on the page.
Admin replies on Mar 5, 2018:
The app runs on 4.2 but the photo upload code doesn't work on that version (Google fixed the issue in 5.0). Since we don't want members to be upset if they can't upload photos, we say 5.0.

Done.......sort of. The icon is not showing up on my screen and the message "may not be optimized for your device" appeared as it downloaded onto my Android tablet.
Admin replies on Mar 5, 2018:
Ah good feedback as we've not tested it on an Android tablet as about 2-3% of our members are using that to read the site (but yes, you're important!). We'll put that on our list. Sounds like it didn't install on your tablet.

BlueWave comments on Mar 5, 2018:
I would like to request that you add a "back" or backwards arrow button on the app. Once I read a post in a particular category, there is no way to get back to the list of posts except to go back to the beginning.
Admin replies on Mar 5, 2018:
If you're on iPhone, just "swipe right" to go back to the previous page.

Hi Victoria. Hmmm. We didn't realize that 3rd party software might not like the new text editor. We'll have to figure out a way to make it work or allow members to toggle it on/off. Will put this on the list. Thanks!
Admin replies on Mar 5, 2018:
@VictoriaNotes We're working on it in the next few days starting by consolidating the software we use for all posts, questions, links, groups and events. Think of it like spring cleaning.

Admin replies on Mar 4, 2018:
@Blizzard As ok, thanks. Hmmm, yes text needs 2 "enters" to separate text. I think the bug is that if you only put 1 "enter", it doesn't end the line. Will investigate tomorrow.

evidentialist comments on Mar 1, 2018:
@Admin -- we have something of a formatting problem when it comes to poetry. It can be gotten around, but at expense of space. Can it be fixed, or is that asking too much? I know it's a bother, so if you decide against messing with it, I do understand.
Admin replies on Mar 1, 2018:
Yeah, looks like we have a problem parsing the line-breaks. I wrote a silly "poem format" which tries to format things nicely but only got it to sorta work. To use it put **[poem ] and [/poem ]** around the text (without the spaces inside the brackets).
Sometimes when I post a response, it doesn't show up.
