Yeah guys but we all know the other board was getting out of hand. It was the only political board I have been on where you could get away with all the insults and profanity. Most boards have a rule about attacking the post and not the poster. If there was a rule on the other board it was very seldom enforced. Man I was banned twice with 2 different user names for disagreeing with a couple of mods.. oh well been over here for a long while

I typically swap messages with both OT and Shadow about 1-2 a month. Remember Quizzy ?

I just dropped messages on about half the boards over on the vent explaining the Politics board was gone and we were moving over here. We will see how long it stays up. I remember when Shadow, OldTimer, Chilipimp, LegalofIrwin and many others would stay up half the night on the old vent as it was basically a comedy show. Now, to many folks get their feeling hurt and then complain. SAD day. I al certain though this board will NOT allow much of the cussing we seen on the other so that will then the heard. Haha, I remember that. Those guys were around when I was in high school. Loved reading their stuff. Anyways, I've been a member on this board for a while. Just don't post since I haven't lived in my hometown in years, and have no idea who the local posters are anymore. Most of the old Clinch Posters don't seem to be around no more. Also, Listenupboys, I think I did get you mixed up with someone else. My apologies on that one. No problem at all.

My issue is how the story changed through the emails. They started off telling me that changing it to VIP was a compromise because people got their feelings hurt over political discussion. I checked my mod dashboard and there hasn't been a reported post on the politics board in months. There isn't a visible reported post in the time frame available for me to see. Then they changed it to the DCMA complaints which is a big issue. They can be fined pretty severely if copyrighted material keeps getting shared on their site and they don't take steps to prevent it. The issue with that is I don't recall seeing any copyrighted material posted on the politics board and when I check deleted posts there hasn't been any deleted copyrighted posts from that board. It's clear they're lying to me and they just wanted to get rid of politics all together. That's their right. It just would've been nice to get a heads up. A lot of us been posting there for fifteen years and in some cases more than that. I'm going to try and message people when I get back from vacation and see if we can get some guys over here. I’m not surprised. Could they be lying to you? Sure, It’s ran by CBS. All you have to do is look at the way CBS news covers politics. What’s funny is that everything was OK when Trump was the target, but now that Flip Flop is catching heat, it’s time to shut down the political opposition. They’re pretty much doing what Facebook and Twitter has done to the conservative voice. Do whatever it takes to silence the opposition. The NEW America……..ain’t it great?

You're not going to miss SLJ and that one guy with multiple screen names posting multiple anti Trump threads a day? They got a little excessive. I can't imagine how bad it was during and up to election time.

I don't know the whole reason and they're never going to tell me, but the only person I saw getting repeatedly banned was dog breath so maybe it was just mainly the language. I did start wondering when he kept getting banned if it was the beginning of the end for the board. I can see who does the banning. If somebody gets banned the name of the person who bans them is shown. For him it just showed banned by 24/7 staff so I knew somebody higher up at 24/7 was monitoring the posts. I thought they might crack down on some of the language and personal attacks instead of just shutting the whole thing down out of nowhere. The board itself doesn't matter to me. I just wish we'd had a heads up to try and get more members to a different spot.
