Technically, this website started by Eliezer and Robin Hanson posting together on Overcoming Bias; then Eliezer took his articles (after the Sequences were written) to the new website. So in fact it never was one person's blog, although the Sequences part seems so retroactively.

The history goes back further, i.e. many of the regulars from those days (not so much right now, which surprises me) and the concepts discussed dated back to the SL4 list and before that the Extropians list. (Haven't archive-binged those yet - thinking of them as the dusty VHS box sets still on the shelf.) People followed Eliezer from site to site.

But yes, I concur.
