Wayne Green:

CQ magazine, 73, 80 Micro, Byte, CD Review, Cold Fusion, Kilobaud Microcomputing, RUN , InCider, and Pico

Wow. I read most of those magazines and never realized he was a loon. I guess it's compartmentalization.

IIRC, Carl Helmers, editor of BYTE Magazine was married to Wayne's daughter. AFAIK some bizarre event(s) took place before Wayne started the Kilobaud Magazine. I am not saying he is a loon, but that is what I believe.

According to WG, he lost everything, ownership of all his publications, in a divorce. Then his ex married his lawyer. Not her lawyer. His.

That would have been about two-thirds through the list.  I used to read his computer and CD stuff and detected nothing unusual in his thinking. I wonder if he does the loon just for money.

A papermill junkie, in it for teh glory not money.

I suspect DrFart Joke Dembski is in it for the same reason. That and a spanking by his Dean.

Not sure if Lizzie noticed, but there's a post to her on UD from Timmeaus under Douglass Axe responds to Shapiro. Not that you can respond Lizzie, so perhaps it's moot.

Yes, I noticed that.  I asked Gil to let him know where I was.

Or I could ask Joe, who seems to have more time :)

I think it's the right time for everyone who hasn't been banned to stop posting at U.D.

It would be nice watching the "broad church" members arguing amongst themselves, which would be the inevitable result. It would also be nice to see DeNews O'Leary denied a platform with any significant traffic, and to see how she reacts.

Also, this would help shift the discussion to Elizabeth's ban free blog, which allows both I.D.ists and their opponents to start threads.

Let's kill U.D.

The fun side of this thread could still be had on a "Skeptical Zone" peanut gallery.

On the death of UD. I've been watching the date and time of the first and last of the recent comments and it currently takes around 24 hours for the site to generate 30 comments. Just after the purge it was about 6 hours. Also at least half of the comments are from BA77.

Also in the 'daily popular' there used to be threads that were in the thousands now they all seem to average around the 700s

I was intrigued by this comments, and to see how dead UD is, I counted the comments which are still accessible. The result can be found at RationalWiki, but here are some excerpts:

In number of comments, 2011 was the most successful year at UncommonDescent:

One reason for this is seems to be that the number of threads started at UD exploded (the author News is an invention of 2011) - though many of those have the character of mere announcements:


The other was what I like to call the Liddle effect: She (and ''Mathgrrl" before her) surely stirred things up:

Cool graphs. So if they maintain 30 comments per day then the total for March would be 930 which would make it the lowest month since 2008.

I've just checked the recent comment list and again it seems to be almost exactly 24 hours for 30 comments. Am I missing something obvious?

The only thing I can think of are the comments which are in moderation: if the period of moderation is longer than these 24 hour, they don't appear in the list of the recent comments.

October '08-why does that ring a bell?

Looking back on the "The BlogCzar Years" here, Sept-Oct '08 was when DaveScot went on a reign of terror.

By November, he was 'resigned' for deleting posts by Dembski, Gil and others.

Is there something about election years?

Thanks.

Yes, great graphs. Thanks for putting in the work.

While the great increase in 2011 posts is entirely due to DeNews, they won't increase the comments. That's where we see the Liddle effect you mentioned. The first three months of 2011 are all below the peak months of 2010. Lizzie arrives in April, and from April through 'til November every single month out performs the 2010 peaks easily. Each of her comments probably inspires several replies, and the Bornagain/Kairosfocus duo's graph lines have orgasms over her output.

In December, she virtually stops posting, and we're straight back to below the 2010 peaks. In January and February (until the Big Bann), Lizzie's back on form, and the comments back above 2010 peaks.

This is what I sensed, and why I made the comment further up about killing off UD. It's great to have these discussions, but there's no need to have them under the control of the likes of Barry.

It's not our job to increase their traffic, and I want to see what happens when sectarian arguments set in.

Speaking of which, Elizabeth is doing a good job of driving a Wedge between the smarter I.Ders and Granville Sewell's 2LoT argument on her blog.

A suggestion for another target if you're reading this Lizzie might be Sandford's "young earth because of genetic entropy rubbish", which can't be supported by all the I.D. crowd I'm sure.

The "broad church" is very vulnerable in many areas.
