We have a new website with a new name!
21 July 2010 by StardustAfter discussing the idea of a new website off and on for a couple of years now, we finally decided amongst ourselves that it was time to retire the old God is for Suckers! and start anew with a new name. The name of the new website is Atheist Oasis – A Rational Refuge. Thanks to ChuckA and Ray for having their entries chosen from a list of suggestions from other regulars and moderators. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Thanks to Ron for all of his help in this transition, and for providing us a place to hang out and rant all these years while managing all what had to be done behind the scenes at God is for Suckers! We will never forget all the good times we have had here, all the laughs, all the heated debates, all the funny fundie trolls we encountered, the Lion Feeds, the Mailbag, and so much more. We will never forget our friend Sean whose site this really was for a few years before his untimely passing. Sláinte Sean! May you rest in peace. Thank you for the good times. And now we also lay GifS to rest and start anew (although the old posts will still be up at the old gods4suckers.net address for the foreseeable future, for old times’ sake).
God is for Suckers! has often been called by some of our regulars as an “oasis”, a place where we can come together with fellow atheists and agnostics and discuss politics, separation of church and state, the attempts by the religious to force their superstitious beliefs into our secular government, or to simply discuss how experiences with religious family members, friends and co-workers have affected our lives in general.
While our name has changed, and we have a new website, Atheist Oasis will continue to be a place where we all can come and hang out, and rant, vent, discuss and have our usual good time. We look forward to many more years of good discussion at our new home with our old friends, and hope to make many more new friends, as well.
Those of you who follow us, please remember to change your links accordingly! See you all at the new place!

If I might…as a kind of final ChuckA, comment on this last of the original “GifS” threads…
Like you said so well, Stardust…there have been so many great times here on GifS; and I can’t help but feel a certain amount of sadness, and even a surge of nostalgia thinking of Sean, and so many other creative contributors to this “oasis”…many of whom haven’t been around here for quite awhile. I’ve often wondered about people like Raindogzilla, Eve, and many others; as to their current whereabouts, etc.
I feel very honored, even somewhat humbled, by the way, to have been allowed to even OFFER a suggestion for a new name; let alone have my suggestion implemented as part of the new name. Thanks, also, to Ray Garton, of course, for his part. And what a great addition he is to the already stellar staff.
Here’s hoping “AO” (or “AO-ARR”?) continues…erm…”faithlessly”?…in the tradition of the original GifS founders…Sean, Ron et.al.
And as Sean might express for all of us:
“Sláinte!”

Eve’s still with us at the new site and hopefully will be posting something soon!
Those in our list of moderators/authors who have moved with us to the new site are Ron, Bob, KA, Ray Garton, Jimmer, Eve, Naomi, Karen, and of course, myself. Still waiting to hear from Dan (King Retard), he has been sent a message to set up his account there and hopefully will come by from time to time when he can, also.
