we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.

honestly not sure why people are thinking that the forums will die? like ... we had fuckin nazis hanging around for years and years, not sure why this is worse. Lowtax isn't gonna just shut down the only thing making money for him because [reasons]

i think the notion is the forums will "die" because no one wants to give lowtax money/attention, and since doing pretty much anything on the forums feeds into that, they'd rather not post here

i wasnt in the know enough to know about the literal nazi; i dont' think anyone reading the forums is unaware of the lowtax situation though

(and like infernal machines said, a lot has changed. we're also older and in some cases maybe less tolerant of bad poo poo like this)

temporarily. join a discord as a backup plan in case the taxman hits the self destruct button and the forums just wink out of existence in seconds. discords are also probably how you will hear about a viable replacement forum if one appears. until then, continue posting here I guess

i cant speak for every poster, but i was tolerant of "ironic" shittiness for longer than i should have been, and extended folks the benefit of the doubt where it was not deserved. that is gone now

plus i never hung out where the worst of it was, so i was probably somewhat blind to how bad it got

It did start when c-spam was threatened but it's a general forum and nobody will make you post in the politics forum if you don't want to

Anyone who wants an invite, just go to https://breadnroses.net/ and register, I will approve, let me know the username you select if it is different.

Also be patient if it takes a little bit, there is a queue I am getting through as quickly as I can.

Everyone please :siren: stop posting that you have registered :siren:

We are aware and are working through the queue. It's a lot of users.

The admins are pretty bogged down right now approving registrations but I'm sure they would be amenable to making one
