Itā€™s now not the free speech forum, itā€™s the pay 15 dollars to jerk off to each others comments and censor anyone who has a differing view forum.

I suppose, but what about old Rube Reaper or American 1st or American Deplorable, Jake is the worst ever, but @LafesterMacintosh has a point. Many on here do not like opposition. It is ironic whereas this "Free speech forum" is populated by many who do not like free speech, and as adequately put, a circle jerk.

Support and opposition are nessessary to a balanced conversation.

I'll tell you what the real issue is, is being able to link and copy and paste everything under the sun like it the bible, instead of sharing context and reasonable arguements to the points.

It is in fact, almost like you have forced a two party system on this site, and allow one party sway over the other, whereas a "member group" can mention and speak, unabashed and fully shielded, and the "non member" group can only read. This would seem to make it such that a conversation will not be able to had, that will be balanced and defensible.

It might be more effective to charge 3$ for instance, to everyone who wants to post, this way, there is no divider and the power and responsibility is equal to the support and opposition.

What do you think?

@Croot_Overlord are you going to answer my question?

He collapsed to the retard mob. Like everything else in this country with no balls.

Itā€™s fucking hilarious how this started as the free speech forum and then a group of about 15 who call themselves ā€œpatriotsā€ just want to censor anything that doesnā€™t make them cum on their keyboards.

Itā€™s pretty fucking funny, and now there wonā€™t be enough willing to contribute to a jerkaround thread to make it last and theyā€™re gonna be done.

Of course @LafesterMacintosh is responsible for an entire community?


Of individuals all with differing views and all competing to get theirs across to others?

Administrating the communities responsibilities fairly & equally for all.?

Holding lafester's self fully accountable to & for the whole of the community?

As well as equally so to & for every single individual member-including lafester's selfā€”24/7/365?

Ceaselesly maintaining full responsibility & accountability of all the cunty financial, technical, legal, security, social, moral, personal & other shit?

Dealing with all the insane coding shit in the forum's system's backend along with potentially infinite setting variables &/or complete fuckups from these?

And @LafesterMacintosh never blames his own accountability fuckups on anyone but lafester's self even with ignorant hypocrites screeching & bitching about every fuckin thing right?

Where is this forum community administratered @LafesterMacintosh ?

It's real fuckin easy to criticize from the sidelines innit.

Thanks man. I'm not sure what the final recovery plan, but I think its going to need to be surgical repair. My arm completely locks up when it gets in certain orientations.

Mine is much better than that, Iā€™m able to move it around very well, but it does get sore and it does pop around a little bit. If I lift too heavy or do something that is awkward. They do say I have the start of bone on bone, so Iā€™m holding out for stem cell type therapy when I needed a few years down the road. My Doctor Who has looked at it is oh well renowned sports guy. in Atlanta, and just said, keep everything strong around it, and keep it as flexible as possible donā€™t do anything crazy and thatā€™s the best to be done with it now and down the road, good luck

Since John seems content to let people shit on founders without defending us, I'll give you a little history lesson.

This site did not start as "The Free Speech Forum", it was originally called "Crootn". The original incarnation of the "Dance Your Cares Away/Fraggle/Law Abiding Citizens" thread started on the Rivals.com main board forum back around 2016 (I wasn't there for the beginning, so @tgsio or someone else who was there can correct me if incorrect). Per @22*43*51 :

6.png

I was a member of the UGA Rivals forum and was getting shit from the mods for political postings in 2020, when my Dawg brother @Dawg88 told me about the thread on the main board. I joined the thread and was glad to find like-minded brothers and sisters that liked to post/discuss things that were contrary to the approved narrative. After the election was stolen in 2020, we started getting purged from TMB and other platforms, so John decided to start this site so that we would have a place for our thread to live.

As I previously mentioned, this site was originally called "Crootn" (slang for recruiting), and we initially thought that our thread would be protected and that we could have our own conservative-leaning site among the sea of liberal platforms:

7.png

1a.png

Things were looking good, and it felt like we finally had our own place! We were originally asked to vote on what we wanted it to be named, and were to be given incentives/recognition for donating to help build the site:

3.png

4.png

1.png

I don't recall exactly what happened to disregard the name we decided on (Law Abiding Citizen), but since John and his team were the ones doing the work behind the scenes to build the site, I shrugged it off when he decided to name it "The Free Speech Forum" instead. We were happy to have our own place, so we happily donated:

8.png

Fast-forward several years to today, where the only thread I care about and gladly paid to protect and preserve has gradually been degraded to the point that I basically only post memes and funny stuff to lift others' spirits, and finally fractured off to where I'm told we have to pay $15 a month to get what the founders were led to believe we would always have.

2.png

To be perfectly clear: I have no problem with this site allowing any and all opposing viewpoints. All I ever wanted and expected was that our founding thread, the bedrock on which this site was built, would be protected. It was not, so I no longer pay.

This is ultimately John's site and he can do with it as he sees fit, but I'm disappointed that he refuses to defend those of us who helped build it and are unhappy with the current state of affairs.

Pay $15 to post on the internet?? šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

A bunch of faggots triggered by emojis stopped paying money to post on the internet. And these retards call themselves patriots. I donā€™t think they realize that the majority of people who donā€™t live on Internet forums think they are fuckin pathetic šŸ˜‚

You have it correct except the LAC thread was birthed from the Vegas Shooting thread which was obviously before you joined in. It's been a long haul.
