It's 2 portals onto the same site (this one). It's also been officially designated as a "bad idea that should never have been implemented".

@1of5 Thanks that explains it.

For some reason I doubt if I explained the reason for posting from both portals that you'd understand.

Thanks

Unfortunately you are, though. It uses the same data base as agnostic, and from what i can tell you can only block your stuff from appearing to people on humanist, but can't block their stuff from appearing on agnostic - unless you block them individually. We interacted a bit while i was accessing through the other portal, btw.

So far i havent seen a way to determine whos coming through which portal to the database, and not really careing much to find out at this point. I'm more interested in why people block their stuff from appearing there. Just because, I guess.

@1of5 Given that I haven't ever gone to that site, and opted out of having anything I post appear there, I'm good.
I wouldn't know if any member there is not a member here. I don't care.
I'm not worried about it.
When the site went active, I made my feelings known, and as soon as the "opt out" was made available, I utilized it.
Haven't given it another thought since.

@KKGator but, see, it doesn't work. Today is the 1st time i logged on through agnostic instead of humanist. I get it was a failed experiment, was disappointed when I discovered it was just another way to log on here, and really shouldn't be surprised that the settings don't work as advertised. It did seem to work in groups, but doesn't seem to work in the general forums.

Why they don't redirect from humanist to agnostic is a mystery for admin to ignore.

@1of5 Nothing is perfect. @Admin has enough to do. So does @SiteSupport.
I think a lot of people want entirely too much sometimes.

@KKGator no, nothing is. Unfortunately broken features tend to break more things instead of sitting there quietly and doing nothing.

At this point all I'm interested in is the why of some people opting out, so thanks for answering that.

Umm, what?

And yet you're actually on both. Bet you didn't know what a talented multitasker you really are.

am I?

Have no idea when it happened. I was on agnostic.com awhile ago, found the love of my life yada yada yada and quit. Signed up for humanists.com and found it was the same site, uses the same database, but for some reason tries to be separate without being separate. If freethinkers.com was also included they could claim a holy trinity as confusing as xtianity. For all i know that's actually the goal.
