If you have questions about my site or my work in general, post them here and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge.

Hi ThunderianWhy didn't you let anyone know what was happening? The board was just gone, with no explanation or hint that it was coming back. There are people who have been reading your postings and building a community around your site for years, and the bottom dropped out with no warning. And now it's back.
What reason can you give for not telling anyone what was going on, and what assurance can you give that it won't happen again? A lot of people were upset and confused by your actions.
I'm sure he did have his reasons, but being a member of the previous forum, I would have liked to have had a heads up that the forum I liked coming to was going to disappear...I figure a person has their reasons. Oddly, I had finally accepted the absence of a forum when it suddenly appeared. I do hope the atmosphere and spirit of discussion goes next level. Welcome newbies and hope to see former members. In a sense, I think a reset gave people time tp think and appreciate one another in a different light.

Hi LokiWith any luck on Vig's part, this will be the last time the forums disappear and get erased. However, for any interested, check my signature and bookmark the link provided there. We had no real way of contacting everyone who might have wanted to join because we had no time to exchange info or spread the word. We've no interest in stealing members away from here; most likely now that this place is operational again our activity will slow to a halt like it has before, but it will be there for anyone who wants it if this place crashes once more.
My apologies Vig, if this comes off as advertising just let me know and I'll remove it, but it's more of a safeguard than anything else. This place will undoubtedly be more active than our little haven could have ever been, but users like The Zone and Lisa might have benefited from us being able to spread the word earlier.

Hi SkepticCat,"The main issue was that s that occurred on the forums sometimes affected and compromised the main site."
I appreciate the validity of the notion that even here on your own website you may not be able to speak freely in the crackdown on 'fake news'. I heard rumors the reason you had to take down the Pizzagate article was the site got shut down in the UK while you had that article available - If you are able to affirm or deny the validity of this I'm very interested to hear. I doubt I'm alone in wanting to understand why that article had to be removed. I must stress how much I really dislike any sort of secrecy or obscurity of facts, particularly on a site of this nature. I feel the above quote from your forum reopening article is guilty of such obscurity, again. It is extremely discomforting being left with the sense there's something you either can't or won't tell about what happened, and why such an apparently crucial article suddenly disappears without warning or explanation.
Certainly, much of what was posted on the previous forums was highly controversial and not always posted in the most sober manner so I imagine accusations of hate speech/racism/whatever would open the door for blacklisting this site. Clarification of all of the above concerns so speculation can end would be greatly appreciated.
