I think a reasonable classification of LessWrong would be a forum-blog combination; it's mostly made up of agnostics & atheists, but this is not at all a focus.

I think a reasonable classification of LessWrong would be a forum-blog combination; it's mostly made up of agnostics & atheists, but this is not at all a focus.
The RationalWiki article is reasonably accurate, I think (speaking as someone who hangs around on LessWrong a bit), none of it is obviously untrue, although there is a bit of "undue weight" given to some things (i.e. the some of things mentioned only come up occasionally, especially the more negative things in the Ugly and Bad sections). It is even edited[1] by LessWrong regulars (e.g. David Gerard, Gwern and Ciphergoth), and not at all as vandalism, they all seem to have added both positive and negative material.
