Renewing the call for papers! Posted by Ethan Dawe
on 9/13, 10:49am
Just a reminder that we are always looking for more original articles. With the moderate length of the article queue now, you'll be likely to see your piece posted in short order. Want to write something, but are stumped for a topic? Check out the War Room or drop me a RoRmail and I'll try and help you come up with som... (Read more...)

on 5/30, 11:16pm
Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've done an Executive Update, so I have a number of announcements to make. The first is that we just returned from our first conference as Rebirth of Reason where we spent a few days in two beautiful houses and sunny Florida. With the new focus on activism, we had a few spee... (Read more...)

We've had a good number of article submissions in the last few weeks. Thanks to everyone who has contributed! We still could use more though, and now is a good time if you're impatient to see your article posted.

The article queue is running low. Here's your chance to try your hand at writing an article. Got an interesting idea you want feedback on? Got some ideas for how to change the world? Or maybe you've got an argument that's worked well with friends and you feel like sharing?

Announcing the first RoR conference! Yes, RoRC #1! The reservations are made. Our first conference as RoR will be held in Kissimmee, Florida from May 26 to 29 this year. We'll be staying in two luxurious vacation homes with all of the trimmings. There's a pool table, air hockey table, foosball, and a Playsta... (Read more...)
Articles and Activism Posted by Ethan Dawe
on 12/12, 1:06am
Now that my first week as editor is over, I wanted to take a moment to both make a call for articles and to talk a bit about the types of articles we're looking for. In preparing to write this I went back and read Joe's opening article for RoR, "The Rebirth." The ideas he set forth there are ones I will use to help gui... (Read more...)
Good news everyone! We've got a new editor for Rebirth of Reason. Ethan Dawe has stepped up to fill that critical position, and I'm happy to have him onboard the staff. He's already brought a high level of energy to the position and we're exploring ideas of how to make improvements. Thanks Ethan!

on 12/02, 12:45am
Welcome to the new site everyone. You'll notice my introduction article here. I want to give special thanks to Dean Gores for putting in a ton of last minute effort getting the site up and ready. He's been a huge help, and he's taken the job as Webmaster of this site. I also want to thank the senior sta... (Read more...)
We have a very important announcement to make. On December 1, 2005, SoloHQ.com will close down. In addition, I am resigning as the Executive Director.

Yes! We Have No Articles Posted by Andrew Bissell
on 10/24, 1:03am
SOLOists, it's that time again. Each time the article queue dips below ten entries (with almost all submitted by the prolific Mr. Machan), the level of stress hormones in my blood skyrockets. I'd like to keep at least some of my hair until I reach the age of 30, so I'm asking for submissions once again.

on 10/04, 11:56pm
The last Free Radical for the year, Issue 69, is scheduled for December 1. Deadline for submissions is November 1. If you have something really special you're thinking of writing, something that should appear in the world's best Objecti-libertarian magazine as well as on SOLOHQ, send it to me first, not that naughty An...

Time for the monthly update. The stats look good again. We get pretty consistent growth figures each month. This time there are 114 new members, 4 new authors, 56 new articles, and 29 new extended profiles. We've added a number of people to the staff. Andrew Bissell has started a Solo Montana local group, an... (Read more...)

Executive Update for August, 2005. Posted by Lindsay Perigo
on 9/01, 3:24am
I’m doing the update this month, ‘cos Joe is exhausted from his new day-job. I’m assured he’ll be able to afford the very best rest home! Growth has proceeded apace since the last update, with 120 new members, 42 new Extended Profiles, and 9 new authors. During this time SOLO received dishonorable mentio... (Read more...)
Where are the results?! Posted by Andrew Bissell
on 8/23, 9:05pm
My fellow SOLOists, you disappoint me. I can count at least five of you, off the top of my head, who have said they are working on articles, or have ideas for articles, or had some vague dream of an article that they jotted in their dream journal.

Executive Update for July, 2005 Posted by Joseph Rowlands
on 7/31, 10:00pm
This month we've had a rapid growth of new members, increasing my 164. Looks like word is getting around about us. The extended profile system is getting some use, with 73 new participants. I see a lot of people without pictures, though. If you don't have a picture sent in, you should do it. Send a digital image t... (Read more...)
The Free Radical # 67 has hit the streets. And the streets will never be the same! Never have the punters been presented with such a glowing example of KASS activism and abstract theorising being so effectively harmonised. Never in the field of human polemics has such a malignant dichotomy (theory/practice) been dealt ... (Read more...)
Executive Update for June, 2005 Posted by Joseph Rowlands
on 7/01, 2:41pm
Very good growth numbers this month. We got 134 new members, 61 new articles, 7 new authors, and 5800 forum posts, and 40 Extended Profiles. Let me start by welcoming our new SoloHQ editor, Andrew Bissell. He just started a couple nights ago, freeing Lindsay to put his time and energy into different channels. ... (Read more...)
My quest for a new editor ended almost as soon as it had begun. I'm delighted to welcome Andrew Bissell to the position. Andrew is an economics student, but I'm prepared to overlook that on this occasion. I met him at TOC-Vancouver in 2004; in fact, he even had a small part to play in my presentation (which he managed ... (Read more...)
Just to formalise what most of you already know—I have resumed editor's duties in the wake of Jason's departure over the Elmore issue. Like all such departures, this was unsought and unnecessary, and, I hope, will be reconsidered soon enough. In the meantime, I shall act as editor until someone else suitable steps up (...
