The atheist blogger [[Hemant Mehta]] reported about the atheist blog network '''The Orbit''':
{{Cquote|Nearly two dozen atheist bloggers — many from [[Freethought Blogs]], along with a few others from Patheos, [[Skepchick]], and independent sites — are about to launch a new website called The Orbit. (The site isn’t functional just yet, but it should come online soon.)
According to [http://wp.production.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/files/2016/03/OrbitAnnouncement.png a now-deleted post], though the same information has been hinted at in several other places, the collective will be focused on atheism and social justice.
Interestingly enough, PZ Myers is not on the list of those moving. He’ll remain at Freethought Blogs, where he’s been [http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2016/02/12/how-to-join-freethoughtblogs/ recruiting new bloggers] to the site over the past month.
I’m speculating here, but I suspect at least some of the Orbit writers are heading to the new site in part to get out from under his shadow and away from his burn-all-bridges [http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2015/04/08/atheist-ireland-publicly-dissociates-from-blogger-pz-myers/ reputation]. Maybe I’m wrong.</ref>}}
