I've got one in my mitts.
Used to run a BBS. Friend put his (PCBoard software) in an obscure IP location, network accessible. Was a hoot to use, takes one back to some faded memories. Gone now. He retired from ISPing.
With the Capitol setup, they have all they need to shut down any conservative type of communication. After inauguration, it won’t take long before the internet, conservative news and radio will be purged. Unless, of course, they strictly follow the new guidelines.

In the following, important to know - scroll down to “Do you know for sure that the internet connection initiated as a Dial-Up Network (DUN) connection and not as an USB ethernet connection?”
I wrote to some kid on FR about acoustic couplers the other day. Makes me feel old.
What you say is true in a broad sense, but I am talking about this particular action.
This is silencing free speech out of fear.
AT is one of my favorite sites and most times I get more insight by reading the comments. I understand but my God. We are being purged. I’ve dropped it all; Twitter, Parler, Facebook. Maybe this is exactly the Dems plan.
Put the handset into the acoustic coupler.
I’ve been banned from commenting at American Thinker for several years. I don’t know why, as they did not respond to my asking. It was after Bush I died, and the press that had never had a good word for him was now praising him. Maybe it’s a case of “the only good Republican is a dead Republican,” I said. I made several other comments that week, though, and maybe it was my comment about the curvature of space that got me banned.
Lincoln called it “a new birth” last time, as though the original had perished.
Certainly, something died between Sumter and Gettysburg, and the artifacts of that fatality remain in evidence to this very hour; manifest in the differences in how the causus belli are taught on the north and south. Lincoln isn’t the hero in Atlanta that he is in Albany.
This present has similar potential.

Thank you, followed.
We have to be a bit more artful in how we express ourselves.
Use a lot more ridicule. And let’s face it, Biden is going to be a rich target.
They were overrun by Qtards and commies.
Insane zealots all.
Sure. And it’s not advocating for violence to point out that the Founders engaged in violence.
I didn’t know they had a comment section, thus this is no change for me. But I can see the reasoning as being honestly fearing that keeping it open will let big tech close them down.
Beautifully expressed....
.....but as a Southerner myself, Lincoln is certainly esteemed
...it is Sherman we all remember with distaste
“ The Dark Winter has begun.”
I’m guessing it’s going to be more like The Dark Ages...
My local Gannett newsrag used to have a very active online forum on which I commented frequently. A few years ago they started requiring all posts to go through Fakebook. Topics which previously would draw hundreds of comments went down to a dozen or two; less contentious topics down to a few or none.
And I can tell you that smart advertisers are generally very interested in metrics that indicate active reader engagement in online news articles instead of just clicks on a web page. Your Gannett newsrag isn't doing themselves any favors there.
