text: does the flat earth society still exist ? i'm curious to know whether the original society still exists.  i'm not especially interested in discussion about whether the earth is flat or round. although there is no currently active website for the society, someone (apparently a relative of samuel shenton) maintains the flat earth society forums. this website, which offers a discussion forum and an on-line archive of flat earth society newsletters from the 1970s and 1980s, represents a serious attempt to rejuvenate the original flat earth society.
