"Atlas After Dark" sounds interesting. We could probably set up one of those free forums pretty easily. I think that would be a better way to go about it as opposed to restarting a blog.
I've spoken with Bushie and he says he isn't ready to bring Update back "yet". In other words, he's going to want to bring it back eventually.
I'd like to have a site that's exclusive to people who are already on Atlas and want to feel free to talk about more salacious/risque material without hurting the feelings of the Ban Clan or get the site blacklisted at middle schools.
I envision something like this;
Election 2016
Past Elections
General U.S. Discussion
International Discussion
Individual Politics
Update Board
Off-Topic Board
I'm sure we'd spend plenty of time here, but if it's become important to keep Atlas Proper squeaky clean, it'd be nice to have a place to post freely.
EDIT: And we tried a blog with Bushie, it didn't work. And our issues with people feeling like they are being restricted due to the nature of their content goes well beyond Update.
