FreethoughtBlogs is the current primary home of Pharyngula. PZ Myers and Ed Brayton set it up when it became clear that untrammelled Pharyngula-style blogging and commenting was unlikely to go well with National Geographic's content policies on ScienceBlogs. It was launched August 1, 2011 and the criteria for getting space there are demanding.
