I wonder why the founders of LessWrong didn't just let the people with less rationality-training than themselves set LessWrong up for themselves. Asking for help is a compliment, you know, we look up to the more-rational population than can be found on LessWrong. Either that or there are too many lazy teenagers.

If you run a community you don't want that community to be split.

Writing three discussion posts about pro-teenager topics is a much better first step than thinking about setting up a new forum.

I wasn't suggesting that teenagers should invent LessWrong for themselves, just that if they want a no-adults spinoff, they'd probably want to do it for themselves.
