I often can't move on to get anything productive done (for hours)...I'm thinking I will wait on Discussionist. I'm not sure what the value of a "no holds barred" non-moderated, open-to-all site would be (correct me if I am wrong on that last aspect). Perhaps I will peruse when it becomes active, but... (ON EDIT, I see that they are having juries, so apparently, it isn't designed to be a total free-for-all)

I have to admit I am curious what admins were thinking when they decided to create it...(though it does give them an immediate excuse/contrast when certain criticisms of DU comes up)....
