Admin: We have spammers that do the same thing you did. Come in, don't answer any greetings and then say it's not your cup of tea. And well after you're gone and forgotten your account launches a wave of ads or other crap. So when you say it's not your thing..... Nov 15, 2024 8:12:15 GMT -5
Admin: It's just a defensive measure because we have been hit hard by various trolls and asssholes Nov 15, 2024 8:14:03 GMT -5
Admin: At the moment you're not acting like a spammer, good to know. Nov 15, 2024 8:16:34 GMT -5

Writer's Panic: Something I should mention is a little about the history of this place Nov 15, 2024 10:13:27 GMT -5
Writer's Panic: most of us were members of Hip Forums, I was there all the way back to 2005. I left in 2020 after the owners launched a campaign to mass-ban a lot of members who were exercising their free speech too well Nov 15, 2024 10:17:43 GMT -5
Writer's Panic: Hip forums became very political almost overnight. At first I had a ringside seat because I was a moderator since 2009. So I had access to discussions that became very dark Nov 15, 2024 10:20:16 GMT -5
Writer's Panic: I knew something was dreadfully wrong in 2020 when they banned several lifetime members, memberships they had paid for. So I decided to leave and found many of the banned members on reddit. Nov 15, 2024 10:22:51 GMT -5
Writer's Panic: then I looked into free forum sites and found this place. It took a short time to get running and it gave us a way to work things out. A lot of us wanted a commercial/paid site because it would be taken more seriously Nov 15, 2024 10:25:28 GMT -5
Writer's Panic: after 10 days here the paid site was up and running, Tree Fort Forums hosted by vBulletin and 100% cloud. It lasted about 4 years. One day it just shut down and the owner didn't contact any of us. Nov 15, 2024 10:28:07 GMT -5
Writer's Panic: So some of us migrated back here since I never shut it down. Other than dealing with spam it was dormant. I'd go months without even looking at it. Nov 15, 2024 10:30:13 GMT -5
Writer's Panic: So the current group has been discarded twice though some here are still Hip Forums members as well. We don't mind because we aren't the ones who started all the drama and billshiite But we didn't take any crap from people either Nov 15, 2024 10:32:47 GMT -5
Writer's Panic: Hip forums became a convention of hostility and hatred so I left. Nov 15, 2024 10:34:17 GMT -5
Writer's Panic: It used to be a resource, kind of a Mother Earth News for hippies. What's kind of pitiful is the way they claim a massive membership but more than 3/4 of the members died already, hippies be old Nov 15, 2024 10:36:23 GMT -5
Writer's Panic: If I got anything wrong, someone here will make sure we all know! I take a flogging sometimes. Nov 15, 2024 10:39:48 GMT -5
lika: How come I'm confined to the pit and can't access anywhere else when logged in? Nov 15, 2024 11:11:53 GMT -5
lika: What sort of buffoonery is this and who has done this? Nov 15, 2024 11:12:52 GMT -5

Lynnbrown: That was an excellent summary Writer's Panic. Nov 15, 2024 20:30:41 GMT -5
