At least this post of mine had a link to Eliezer’s Arbital writeup on “rescuing the utility function”. I’d be sad to see it go, there’s some damn good writing in there.
You’re right that they didn’t do enough to attract users though. I only found it by accident after someone on IAFF mentioned that Eliezer is writing stuff on Arbital.

I want to point out how trivial it would be for Eliezer to get way more users/readers on Arbital than he has gotten, just by sharing the best essays on Arbital once a month on facebook. He would’ve gotten like one or two orders of magnitude more readers. I’m confused you think Eliezer was missing this by accident, rather than fully aware of what his options are and then deciding to hold off on bringing users to his as-yet-unfinished product.
At the time I thought it was an under-construction CFAI kind of thing and he was avoiding too much attention from randoms, but your explanation makes sense too.
