Happy New Year!
Submitted by RationalRespons... on January 1, 2008 - 4:23pm.Happy New Year from the RRS to all of you.
Big changes are currently underway at RationalResponders.com and the entire network of sites that we help maintain and service. RRS will be investing in high end expensive hardware to help run the incredibly fast growing group of sites we maintain. More details are coming soon.
You should see enhanced performace on the www.RationalResponders.com website as of right now. We hope to be around 2-4 seconds a page load by Feb 5th.
Welcome to the biggest year for RRS, so far. 

Want Kelly to respond to your favorite theist?
Submitted by kellym78 on November 23, 2007 - 10:42am.IF YOUR EMAIL DOESN'T SUPPORT HTML, THIS IS AVAILABLE TO READ ON THE HOMEPAGE OF RATIONALRESPONDERS.COM RIGHT NOW!
Hey folks,
I need some help finding articles to respond to for my massive blogathon (future book and movie), so if anybody sees anything that you think I should respond to, please submit it in this thread.
Types of stories I need:
- Major print media (hopefully with an online link as well)
- Author of article should be a well known theist, or at the minimum a frequent theist writer, preferably leaders of orgs, thinktanks, or pundits.
- Most preferable articles are op-eds posted in papers that are likely to reprint my rebuttal. (the less conservative the publication, the better)

To all the people who have said they wanted to help Rational Response Squad
Submitted by kellym78 on October 21, 2007 - 11:39am.In the last 20 months so many people have written us offering to help that we haven't been able to keep track of them all, and even if we had, it'd be almost impossible to convey information on an individual level with everyone. Over the last two weeks we've worked with dozens of people who have volunteered time to help with online projects, we're still accepting volunteers:
http://www.rationalresponders.com/looking_for_50_good_men_atheist_activist_call_out
While stuck in limbo with no ability to record a phone call due to our new computer build up, we've been working extremely hard with other projects. Over the last few days we have been working hard to spread our influence to a further online circle. We know very well where our traffic comes from, where were missing opportunities, and what others are doing to increase their online reach. Sapient took the time to outline many of the things that you as the average user can do to help. These things will not only benefit RRS, but all of it's sister sites as well, which is obviously good for all of us. The Rational Response Squad website will more than double in size in the next year, the network will likely triple in overall activity, and these are conservative numbers.
