Just tried the forum move. It still wipes the keywords.

Thanks. How about this as a temporary fix... When a thread gets moved, the mod moving it can copy and paste the keywords in a post notifying of the move. Then some intrepid Freeper can repost the keywords in the new forum. Is that a hassle? Do many threads get moved?

Yup. I posted an article under its exact title, only to have a moderator change the title.

We have our own Cabal.
But we never get to meet because we never can agree on when or where the Cabal meetings are supposed to take place.
Besides, that would out all of our members if we actually had a meeting.
And many of our underlings do not know they work for the Cabal.
/ joke.

I think one of the guidelines is that posters shouldn't change headlines of articles. This is so others won't post duplicates when they go searching to see if it's already been posted.
One way to work with this is to post like this:
Original title on article (brief comment in parentheses)

"When a thread gets moved, the mod moving it can copy and paste the keywords in a post notifying of the move."It is a bit of a hassle, it is not as straightforward as you might think. On the moderate page, the keywords are not handled free-form but as a bunch of checkmarks.
John has mentioned that the keyword drop issue will go away. I don't know when.

I think this site does censor some things not mentioned. I like the site and will continue to support it until it goes farther than I think it should.It removed a couple of things I had posted and being partial I may have resented it but in looking back it could have been questionable.
Most of the thoughts on this site I agree with and the people are the best so I can afford to have my views questioned at times. I guess that is what it is all about.
I think most of us agree on the danger of the left,liberals and the Democrats in general so when I am questioned I have learned to appreciate it because I know most in here agree about the well being of America and the direction we are headed.

Why does this site edit head lines when it says it does not. They didn't. You did. They "unedited" it for you.

Perhaps it was a different interviewer, but my memory of the Ted Turner response was:
Question: Mr. Turner how do you justify your colorization of these classic black and white films? (Paraphrased)
Ted Turner: Well the last time I checked they belonged to me. (/southern drawl)
To: I'll be your Huckleberry
Definitely a different interview.

I just posted my own story on the leftwing indymedia.org site and how they are going crazy today. The moderator pulled the aricle from being displayed only after a couple minutes. The amount of editorial control has gone to far and this site is anything but free(republic).

Is this thread now trying to compete with the "Neo-Cons hate Dixie" thread for longest running thread ?
