I was over at the AFM website and looked in at the forum area. The Forum in Rome shows more life; at least there are lots of cats there. Since the new AFM forum area went live about a month ago, there are a grand total of 17 posts and a little over 100 registered users.
Of course, outsourcing the hosting and requiring the additional step of logging in (and this is after one has logged in to the AFM website) does make things harder for the users, and "harder for the users" means fewer users.
On the other hand, that means no one is complaining about censorship. And it's not as if there aren't other places on the web for folks to talk about AFM-related issues, or, for that matter, things of real interest.
Hey Florence - how's your examination of " the feasibility of overhauling the AFM's antiquated website" coming? Bad timing, I know - you've got more important things on your mind at the moment.
"On the other hand, that means no one is complaining about censorship"
I am.
What do you call the total deletion of all former afm.org topic posts like the Hot Topic forum?
It became way to hot Tom Lee's Administration.
And it was censored and destroyed.
The Old AFM.org Forums were a Virtual Union Hall for the discussion of idea's and grievances among the members and it is now resting in pieces.
If I am elected President I will have an AFM Freethinker's forum that will never be Censor or Removed during my term in office and I will also have a historian to have AFM archives to protect the AFM History and give member access to those records via AFM.org
Members should have access to the AFM history even if is embarrassing or shows prior AFM Mistakes.
That would help to keep next generations from repeating the same mistakes.
FreeThinker Forum will stay even if things are posted against me on that forum, I believe that it would be a way for a president to see what members are angry about and it might allow a president to fix the problems.
AFM members-Free Thinker Forum would never be censored.
Under a Moore Administration.
