I notice a contradiction that i don’t yet understand. This post and the wiki page (https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/History_of_Less_Wrong) say that LessWrong started in 2009. However, there are comments here with earlier timestamps (arbitrary example: http://lesswrong.com/lw/qd/science_isnt_strict_enough/k2t). I was under the impression lesswrong.com was an active community at least since 2007. Is the wiki’s “2009” a typo?
Also, i am updating my PoV on recent LW history based on the analytics charts. I take it that pageviews have not yet dropped below 2010 levels, even if commenting rates did?
Comments and posts were ported over from Overcoming Bias and so they preceded the Less Wrong website.
Ah, the comments too! Okay, now I understand.
