Read the comments. FR used to be so fun, so full of high fives, so full of hope. There’s not a troll or a debbie downer in the comment section. We are basically doing the same work on these Q threads, but instead of hope and kudos, we have folks who get banned for nothing. We have mods that pull threads saying it’s “Q crap”. We have trolls who infest not just these threads, but the main forum sowing nothing but despair. Our enemies want us to feel helpless, and boy FR is letting them get their message out.

Agreed. FR in the beginning was a place of hope for conservatives. Especially conservatives of a libertarian leaning.

Way back in the beginning when FR was delving into the Clinton crimes we had no internet in rural areas. I had a co-worker who printed of the best of FR each evening and dropped them on my desk at work. I enjoyed those daily until we finally got internet in the boonies. Within a few days of internet at home I signed up on FR.

The Q threads are the closest to the beginning in nature, except all the "non-allowed topics" and suspensions. I am certainly open to trying other platforms tho we have a house rule to not participate in social media. Since we also don't use TV for news we seek online news sources. My #1 online news source is this Q thread.

That is so cool. I think that’s why I find this so sad. I remember posts about Vince Foster, Ron Brown. People actually investigated stuff, just like on these Q threads. i could be wrong, but I really started sensing a shift during the Obama birth certificate stuff. Once our side started chiming in with the name calling, like birther, it was pretty much no longer investigated.
