Not surprising, Politics board used to be the most frequented part of the forum, now that it has been closed, most of them have moved over to IMDB1.

In his Update: 4/10/2023, the admin predicted a drop in traffic. Perhaps some prolific users * were so discouraged by the original take down notice, that they never checked back to discover the site was reinstated nine days later. If that's the case, I hope they find their back here.
*For example, does anyone know what happened to Penn Guinn ? |

Running a political board as an Admin can be exhausting. On the other board, Admin wrote this about being fed up two days ago: “It's pointless, adds nothing and takes up my time getting involved in squabbles.”
“Action” isn’t the most fun for everyone.
Sometimes you see things you wish you could unsee written by people who wrote them for this very purpose. It’s NOT one political board or another political board. It’s the nature of the beast wall to wall across the internet. It’s not any one board’s fault.

But, I'm spending much less time, now that Politics is closed. I think you're right about an Admin's challenge with a political board. It can get "pretty gritty," and provocation is often very evident. We're in an age where the exchange-of-ideas can be quite seriously contentious. Still, I do miss it. From this thread, I learned of IMDb1, and I did check it out. It has possibilities, but I'm weighing whether, or not, I want to frequent 2 sites. I did see some names of old friend ... er, friends of long-standing, as no one is "old."  I still come to this board, Classic Film, Food and Drink. |

There’s a LOT of interesting things here without Politics. I’m kind of resting - things are busy at work. There are lots of things I’d love to see discussed here that would have qualified as “OT” earlier. |

In checking the IMDb1 site, I noticed that many/most of the users have screen names that are recognizable from the "recent" board. They are also ID'd by a second name.
-- In signing up for that board, does a user have to choose a second screen name? If so, why are both names presented.
-- Do users on that board have to choose a new password? (I'm growing weary of coming up with passwords).

(I'm growing weary of coming up with passwords). are you referring to where it says things like "Nick Nack"? if so, that is their ( pretty goofy ) member rankings equivalent to where yours says "Elite Member" hope that helps also, i use the same screen name and the same password on every proboard they will all show up on the dashboard of your global account |

Then he must be aware that this site is back on-line. I hope he returns - I miss his contributions to the Word Association Game! I think its prohibited to discuss this here, but… Penn Guinn was among those banned |

Yeah it is unfortunate.
I've brought this up before and suggested recruiting new members but it seems people don't care. To be fair it seems threads get a lot of views though, so maybe there are a lot of lurkers. Not sure if random people who came here via google count towards the view count though.
