I got a distinct cultish vibe when I joined, but only from the far-out parts of the site, like UFAI, but not from the "modern rationality" discussions. When I raised the issue on #lesswrong, the reaction from most regulars was not very reassuring: somewhat negative and more emotional than rational. The same happened when I commented here. That's why I am looking forward to the separate rationality site, without the added untestable and useless to me EY's idiosyncrasies, such as the singularity, the UFAI and the MWI.
We should try to pick up "moreright.com" from whoever owns it. It's domain-parked at the moment.
Moreright.net already exists, and it's a "Bayesian reactionary" blog- that is, a blog for far-rightists who are involved in the Less Wrong community. It's an interesting site, but it strikes me as decidedly unhelpful when it comes to looking uncultish.
