Try as I might over the last weeks, news and commentary is not relevant to this forum.

No problem here, every ship has its course/mission

Now mind you, this is not an opus as I may post a "earth swallowed by a busty lesbian" article as need warrants.

I thank all of you for the consideration and kindness afforded to me at this venue.

Take care and tamp the ground before you.

See ya around.

Try as I might over the last weeks, news and commentary is not relevant to this forum.

I don't know if this is true. Most people here read the article and I know that many people who rarely post here come often to read.

What might be giving you a bad impression is that the people here pretty much all know each other. They go back a long way. This results in more personal chat than on other news forums. But it doesn't mean that people don't make serious comments on the articles too.

The people here also joke around a lot. This does affect the tone of the forum, but it also brings in lurkers and new members. People will come back again if they see something that makes them laugh. When they come back, they usually read and participate in the serious side of the forum as well.

Had I the power, I would be very reluctant to put an end to the joking around. Something is working here. This forum is very strong and has a high traffic volume for a forum this age. Have Christine show you, it is probably higher than you realize.

And what can the forum owners do anyway? You touch on this and you probably realize they have very little control over what goes up. This is on purpose too. They don't want to decide on content, and the people who post here didn't want that either. So the owners are not really to blame for what goes on. Their feeling is that if someone doesn't like it, they can bozo or scroll by.

A really free forum is also a slightly messy forum. You could tighten up the operation in an hour, but you might then be left with a very orderly two post per day forum.
