Put CSA out its misery?
Turn it into somewhere to post a link and synopsis to your LessWrong posts.
The quality of commenting there is just really awful compared to the comments on your LessWrong posts, but it has a separate audience that LW doesn't. Even a muddle-headed audience that reads the thing may produce useful results. (They might come here.)
It's possible that I should just start deleting all comments that are shitty, but that would require lots of time.
Only stuff you'd delete as abusive rubbish. But the sincere stupidity is sincere. Best treat it like comments on a newspaper site ;-) You clearly have a readership there (aggrieved theists who think they're philosophers), and surely there's something you can do with that.
I don't think that is a good use of your time.
Or disable them completely.
Establishing a hierarchy of moderators would be a good idea. Those who become moderators will become invested in the site and its ideas.
I don't want to even invest that much effort in CSA. It's really just a place for me to post occasional articles that don't fit elsewhere, and to post weekly links.
Are you seeing it as being in "misery" because you are expecting it to be what it once was instead of the much more modest, personal, and erratic thing I have declared that it now is?
I am wondering if you have good reasons for investing any time there at all. It's possible. That's why I phrased it as a question.
There are still a surprising number of readers.
Is that your true rejection?
I think so. If it wasn't so instrumentally useful due to its continuing readership, I'd just freeze the whole site and let it sit there as an archive and never have to delete spam comments again.
So you think you can reach a wider audience because many of those people will (for whatever reason) not follow you here.
I think another reason could be: Because one day I want to write a book.
