User blog comment:PsiCubed2/Creating an ad-free, troll-free googology center. Anyone interested?/@comment-31966679-20190221040213/@comment-30754445-20190221152810

We mostly toyed with idea. Nobody actually tried to create a quality new site (I'm sorry, but a google site will never be a serious contender).

The closest we had was the forums that opened a few months ago. But there was literally no planning involved in creating that site. It was, like, 24 hours between the idea for such a site was proposed to the opening of the forums.

Which is why I'm proposing, this time, to do it right. We'll plan it carefully, and we'll also make sure that this new site meets the needs of the majority of the people here.

And most importantly:

Unlike that previous attempt, it won't be a forum that's restricted to some tired elite. We'll make sure that it will be a place that welcomes anybody who is seriously passionate about the subject of large numbers. This is precisely why I'm insisting on having an authentication system. We can't maintain a thriving community solely on the math pros whose identity is established. We need people like you and GamesFan2000 and Naruyoko and countless others who joined here recently. And we also need a way to tell which one of these dozens of people are genuine new budding googologists, and which ones are sockpuppets who come to play silly mind-games.
