With the endless censoring and shut down efforts now being launched against online public discourse (I need not elaborate) I have been on the look out for chat boards and forums that have remained out of view of the cancel culture crowd.
I began with Tapatalk boards, where I have a forum of my own, and have found some pretty good forums there and the app is actually really good compared to some of the other boards I found.
Of course RN3 is pretty active with some quality members, but Hernando's Hideaway on ProBoards was hopping with Above Top Secret Ex-pats for a long time and has since has become a ghost town. I look at RN3 as being like that, a boom town at the moment, but for how long?
So, I've been searching for any forums I might have an interest in. When I searched ProBoards, every forum I had an interest in was inactive for two or more years. Some have never had activity or were spammed with advertising posts.
Now, it seems a shame to let those abandoned boards go to waste, esp. when you could engage in unsanctioned communications on forbidden topics. This would put the consequences of such subversion on the absent administrator as long as those who commandeered it were careful about being traced.
These boards will either clamp down or get the "hammer", but you could go from one abandoned forum to another forever it seems. I have no doubt that real terrorist groups (not the "Trumped" up ones) use this technique all the time. It's just another method to network under the radar, at least while you still can. It might be all we have until there is nothing left, which seems pretty soon.
