I ventured out to read some other stuff on Fr and boy does Fr have a lot of losers....
I started lurking here a few weeks ago because the outside threads were too depressing.

That is such a shame. I started lurking on the open forum late in 2000 and, at the time, found it to be a reliable source of great conservative news and ideas. I stumbled upon the Q threads early in 2018 and followed them pretty closely thereafter. The demands of RL were such that I couldn’t follow both and gradually confined myself to just the Q threads.
But I know the information here can be hard to follow when you first come in cold. A person really has to play catch-up by immersing himself in the research so beautifully laid out at the start of each thread. Many people don’t want to or can’t do that, so I was encouraging friends to begin with the open forum as I had done and gradually get up to speed by visiting the Q threads when they had time.
Then I wandered back into the open forum myself when covid started and we all had more time on our hands. The mood was completely different than when I first started there and I learned that my friends were falling off lurking within a few days and they said it was because everyone was so negative. I’m not sure how that can be fixed but it’s definitely turning people off and away from the site.
