Just scrolling around at the last couple pages of this forum. I knew it was cancer before posting this, but I am still blown away by the massive amount of garbage threads.

You are ranked the most active member. Could you be contributing to the garbage?

You have become clueless. Is that a warning sign?

I am sorry No one speaks Indonesian in our group. Try translating to English before posting.

I thought this place went offline. I was doing a random google for another debate site and saw it was back just now.

Appropriate meme:

You were wrong then and you are wrong again. The members here are on vacation.

Oh that, wasn't that the one where people off their rocker with cringe zoomer christian fundamentalism thought they were going to build an empire through the power of the holy spirit?

How did that work out?

Doesn't look like it suicided, guess I missed a lot of drama. I presume some people got back on their meds.

Not really interested in another barely surviving site with questionable free speech, especially not one owned by airmax. (if anyone asks)

See you in the afterlife we all hope exists!

I have been freely posting here without much restrictions. We just need more members to participate.

I was wondering where you went, because you were offline for like months. Good to see you.

I cant say this site or new site is in good condition. Both have more free speech than before, but activity isnt very high because we arent getting new members.

Even if the old members return, this site will be dynamic once more.

Yea, I hate to say "I told ya so" (not you in particular), but...

People got so bent out of shape in their beliefs that some detail of modding, rules, debate feature, or topic name was making all that much of a difference.

The simple truth is that all websites are feathers blown in the wind of search algorithms. Without VAST amounts of money, there is very little you can actively do to change it.

It was always MUCH more important to stick with the same domain names and keep the membership you had.

By keeping the membership it had gives me the opportunity to know everyone and post on every topic they introduce. It is working for me.

Yeah, but sadly, what I always argued for was mostly ignored for too long. I opposed almost every ban ever, because I knew bans will eventually lead to this. You simply dont do dozens of bans per year on a site with 15 active users. Overmoderation created much more problems than it solved. At the time, it made sense for people because they thought new users will come.

I hope the damage is not irreversible. We still have some very loyal members left.
