If EvC is to continue it will likely need to change its focus to some other area where there are still open and not yet settled questions.
I agree, completely. It might be a good idea if Percy rebrands the website by essentially turning this in to an overall debate forum that doesn't necessarily have an emphasis on either "creation" or "evolution," but rather can be focused on specific categories like:
Science, Politics, Sociology, Religion, etc..
Creationists are rare these days, and even rarer are creationists that can actually hold something of an intellectual discourse.
Percy, what say you? Is it time for the site to itself evolve by changing the name and the focus?

Re: Forums VS Facebook
This forum (and most others) has a logical topic layout as well as a search interface and function that allows me to go back in time and access the vault. Facebook is HORRIBLE in this regard. Not only can I not access past information easily, I feel like I'm putting effort into a black hole.
As far as more creationists showing up? Less and less likely I suspect.
Grateful for this resource.
I got rid of all social media about 2 years ago. It served a purpose at first for me, especially reconnecting with people I lost contact with, but it's troubles became apparent real quick.
In terms of posting one's religious or political views, FB has no anonymity and although you might want to share your personal beliefs with some friends, you don't necessarily want to put that out to your boss who sent you a lame ass friend request, yet you feel obligated to accept it.
On a forum, I am Hyroglyphx, not my real name. There is a level of anonymity where we can simply share ideas without it affecting our day to day lives.
Facebook and other social media outlets have so many negative drawbacks that I am glad that I got rid of all of it. Forums are much better, IMO
