Given his level of enthusiasm for the switch to SuS, I’m thinking more and more that he was the prime mover in making it happen – more than Jason. It seems that’s what the Californian Ideology gets you: Nazis for neighbours in your McMansion exurb.
On a related note, @orenwolf: are all the logs, IP addresses, etc. on the old BBS wiped? I know you’re probably way ahead of me here, but it would be some comfort to know it’s sorted.
So, someone from this site and the other site pointed me over here to sign up, it’s nice and just like old times.
But, I got a DM from someone telling me this site was invite only and I shouldn’t share it with users from the old site because they need to get vetted here first.
Some of you know I tried setting up a private sub reddit before I knew this place was around. There are about 12 people from BB that joined.
These two users from BB don’t seem to be here unless they used a different name.

Does anyone mind if I let them know about this forum?
Curious shift of landing page format over there this morning. (after a header, i see a huge clipped image of the first article’s imagery) probably they’ll have it ‘fixed’ (altered a bit in reverse) soon (…?)
With some of the writing/stories recently, I wondered if some were AI generated. It was just my opinion as some of them really felt like those auto-generated websites that dominate the first few pages of Google search results these days.
Personally, it’s been removed from my favorites list, but this is a bit like drugs. Not everyone can quit cold turkey, and sometimes is better to offer ways to softly ease off
I used to enjoy the slashdot comments back in the noughties, though it was pretty funny watching the ever-escalating battle between the trollies and site mods, somewhat similar to the battle between fungi and bacteria, no side ever held the high ground for long.
Ugh… I signed up for an account at Slashdot well after I started reading it. Still have my “5 digit” account. A friend of mine has a “3 digit” account.
Yes, gone are the days when reading Slashdot at comment level 3 was worthwhile…
