Is there a path for this forum to grow again?

[Mike]

I am going to be working on getting an article out weekly or monthly, really depending on the time I have.

I will also create a shortened thread starter for the topic as well. As I get more time, I will try find more topics. I am hopeful that more will step up and do this as well. If not the group here currently, then maybe others who find the place.

I will also put these things on Facebook and X.

Lots of stuff that I want to do right now, working on health currently to be able to actually do it, LOL.

If I can manage this stuff well better in coming weeks/months, you will notice that there will be lots of content either cross posted or something similar among this and the social media links.

What I am talking about here is something that I wanted to do for years, and have attempted to do for years, but ultimately held back by life itself. Most of what was holding me back looks to be gone now, so I'm hopeful for better times across the platform going forward.

I should also point out that I have removed the connection between the main website here and the forum. In other words, there is no longer a bridge that allows you to be logged in on both platforms. For those up to this point, you should have a login on the article side that matches this one. If not, create one if you like.

None of the thread creation here from the articles will be automated anymore though. Not everyhing I create there will result in a thread being created here.

This is where we struggle here. Communities need active active people to start and lead the conversation.

words that are (to me and maybe a few others) are used in every day conversations, get redacted by Google's adsense BS.

we want to say what we want to say, and as @Duck mentioned, not feel like we are school kids and must be admonished

again, a duck said, the probability of "kids" being here to read the forums is zero to none.

yet, we have watch what we say..????

we ALL know the bills got to be paid, but to limit our words, is another.

this i do believe is the reasoning behind the exodus of many, to other social media outlets.

mike. its tough, i ain't naive to think you got things easy running a website, trucking company, and your personal life.

but google adsense i do believe is also more to blame here with thier restrictions.

You seem to forget old man, Google is run by children. Far left extremists with multi-colored hair, bones through their noses, Cubic Zirconia studs in the cheeks, eyebrows, nose, dick, who even knows! They have no clue what sex they are, what kind of car they are supposed to drive or house they are supposed to live in.

These Leftists are sick people that want to tell everyone else how to run their lives, yet they have no clue how to even run their own.

This is all of us after Adsense takes over the world.

What is being redacted here? I am literally the only person with moderator abilities and I'm not here for weeks at a time, sometimes months over the past year or so.

Asking to see if there is something I need to look into or not.

He might be referring to the word filter, which as far as I know, isn't even turned on.

But if you're the only moderator & you've been mostly absent, how's the spam being filtered out? I haven't seen any threads about viagra, cialis or dispatching services here in years.
