Here’s a piece of data for what it’s worth:
I used Duckduckgo to search for “Conservative political forum”. Guess what didn’t come up even after 5 pages of results?
Quite a few others did that sound interesting. Like US Message Board which was identified as “the largest and most active political forum on the web”, which shows over 1 million threads, 38 million messages, and 48,114 messages. It has a modern format with images and every post is tagged with join date, number of posts, reaction score, and points. Of course it’s not limited to conservative opinions so it’s more like the real world than an echo chamber.
So you agree, FR is dying, it needs to be revitalized before it is dead and gone, I don’t want to see it gone, been here 26 years, I want it to survive!
Thanks for that info on the US Message Board. I bookmarked that site and will look into it further for when FR finally dies.
And FWIW, I’ve been a member here for 10 years....

The Briefing Room took in tremendous amounts of new members whenever JR used to go berserk and zot Freepers en masse. But it’s kind of a ghost town these days.
Maybe when FR is no more, The Briefing Room will become more active and relevant.
