    We got the good filtered personalities. Isn't it time to revive this form of talk?

    I always thought Usenet"s discussion upgrade to. Does the Xenforo software go beyond where we could invite people privately to join here. We need to teach the next generation how to use moderation to create diversified streams of topics.

    I think what I am saying is why isn't anyone coming here.

    I guess to the mods around here I say keep your heads It is not going to be ok.

    It would undermine the safe space echo chamber agenda.

    I'm in two other active online communities at this point.

    One is tea and crumpets polite, I'm not inflicting this place on them. Or on the other communities that are mostly dead right now.

    The other is largely unhinged 20yos who would be . . . interesting to throw at this board and see who comes out on top but again, I'm not going to be responsible for inflicting either group on each other.

    I'm sure you can google storm and castle so you'll have some fellow travellers to validate yourself with again...

    I'm always telling people about this place, but so few seem interested because it's not a major platform with direct access to established well known personalities like you find on Twitter, Facebook, and so on.

    Why do we need a Xenforo tool to invite people here? Just copy and paste the URL into whatever medium you want.

    Copying and pasting the Wordforge URL breaks the board 9 times out of 10.

    That's a feature, not a bug.


    Wait, you weren't talking about banning Packard, were you.
