Let me know if you find any good ones. One of the main attractions of FR is the format. With all its maintenance warts, its still much easier to navigate, find topics, retrace old threads, track comments, etc than any of the other cookie cutter sites I have come across. People complain about either not having a like button or not being able to edit posts after they are up. The easy navigation outweighs those negatives for me.
But format (and no commercials) is not going to be enough if the site becomes filled with nasty and ignorant posters who want to bully opposing views. No skin off me, but why should I waste time? I already avoid commenting on more than a few topics because its like beating your head on a wall. Sometimes I make a comment on these threads just to not feel muzzled, but knowing I will regret the waste of time it will lead to. Arguing with idiots, zealots, trolls, and children is never fruitful.

There are hundreds, no exaggeration, of Pro Russian trolls here - many are long time residents from 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001
Some of these pride themselves on attacking female posters. Some are actual residents of Russia, one was an army officer during Soviet times.
There goal seems to be a takeover of the site by driving away any opposition from contributing funds, else to just get the site shut down completely.
