Ever wished for an anarchist discussion board dominated by an exchange of argued
out political views rather than insults? So did we, so we decided to do
something about it. --- Inspired by the Organise discussion list of the mid
1990s (the first serious anarchist discussion list) and Anarkismo.net, we have
launched AnarchistBlackCat. We are building a home for serious anarchist
discussion and strong moderation of anything that falls below this according to
a set of detailed, transparent and publicly available rules. --- Got something
to say?
Come on over to http://www.anarchistblackcat.org --- Posting rules at
http://www.anarchistblackcat.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=158
More about the board at http://www.anarchistblackcat.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12

Sounds dull but as long as we do't have to read your particularly pathetic attempts at ''argued out political views'' on here anymore i'm all for it.

To be clear on this we are neither asking nor insisting that people make some sort of choice.

Its pretty clear to me that people have preferences for different styles of discussion and also expect boards to fill different needs.Some may find one suits them so much over the other that they only use one but I suspect a lot of people will end up (and indeed probably already are) regularly looking at several boards.

What Joe said. I'll be looking at both, especially if any of those Italian FdCA lot will be writing in English. Fuck I love Italians smile Anyway, good luck with the project and would be good to collaborate where we can imo..

Not that i don't neccesarily disagree with the statement. Libcom maybe alot of things but anarchist black cat seems to be too narrow in range.

I think it'd be odd to try to compare the two sites. Libcom has a wonderful library and has a more openly defined politics with corresponding involvement across the political spectrum. Anarchistblackcat is more focused discussions (or at least the ones I care for).

It was the first commented article in the tracker in the right hand column when I checked an hour ago, title started with 'Announcing' but I think it can only be a page or so in anyway as it only went up yesterday

I love how Chuck0 mentions all of the reasons I'm staying in his rant against Black Cat, things like rants against consensus, crimethinc and lifestylism.

I wonder how long before Chuck0 starts editing comments and banning folks. That discussion is classic.
