Important News!!

Agreed

Contrary to the expectations of some, subscriptions would appear to be fairly linear since word got out, with only perhaps a slight tapering off in the past week. I think 1000 subs will be reached but it might take something extra to get to the 2000 mark.

My issue is others dragging opinions of mods and one or two threads to this one so no won't be debating you here .

At least you own your views kaiser , which whether they be right wing or not are usually grounded in some reality .

Everyone is entitled to their opinion just not to shout it down with misinformation and skewing facts .

Point is , el gato , on that thread anti immigration posters are in the majority and some are decent as per above but some are there to shill for very extreme views , which is not alright . Those posters if sanctioned, cannot take their bans except to blame the few not anti immigration posters and bring it here or to other feedback threads constantly , which is very tiresome and hence my original post .

My quote about "owning it " was specific to those few posters who have very extreme views but deny it ...not to all those who have doubts about immigration in general some of whom I very much respect.

I know that there is a difference between those expressing dismay at immigration numbers and the handling of it , and those on 'the far right ' , but on the other side if you disagree you are likewise described as 'far left ' or "PRO open borders " which is just as reductive and unhelpful .

There is room for reasoned debate somewhere in between .

The mods have been attempting to allow that , but the same gobs always push it and whinge when they get warned .

They should use DRP to solve their issues/ get it off their chests not use this thread .

It is the same group of people making every feedback thread a battleground unnecessarily .

Anyway I am responding to you two here and as Kaiser said it now is doing the same thing as it is derailing what should be a constructive thread about helping to save the site if possible , not how to bring it down .

Many users off line in the summer and might not even know this is going on .

How to get it to their attention urgently ?

Think if it could be brought to the attention as in a pm maybe of as many users who have not been online or maybe just tagging as many people as possible to this thread ?

I know someone who is good at that for forum games for example but might not want to get into this ??

Could suggest maybe current users who have been offline but that you all think might be interested ...

Be the change you want to see 👍👍

That'll have to be done after she sinks if it comes to that.

For now it's all hands on deck.

Little point in getting the paperwork in order for the next port when the ship is in mortal peril.

seeing doom and gloom posts. The end is nigh… but the boards.ie owners putting up the message that not meeting a target and boards will close, plus saying the yearly sub has the most impact. Well, that surely kills off anyone paying yearly.

I paid 1/4ly and happy to pay, but not if we’re told we’re miles off target and closing is likely. It seems a bizarre announcement.

My credit card is updating shortly, so my payment won’t automatically renew. Sad, but the recent announcement seems like a a self fulfilling prophecy 😔
