My grand fat cat would make me wonder where he was at, if he just played tit-for-tat large and black, he really did know well that he lived with me (host) who really would care for his health yet mistakenly would dare to feed him foods that made him rather fat which accompanied him as a real brat along with his lasting, piercing green...

I’d almost always scan through the articles on the main site, and read the ones that were interesting to me. The next step was always to go to the comments, as they added significant value to the whole experience. Moving the comments to Substack is a hard ‘no’ for me - I don’t care why they’re allowing Nazi/fascist content on their venue, but I...

What a year! I’m really surprised and disappointed on how this transition is being rolled out, with no early notice and downplay of the impacts on the community that formed on the BBS. I’m pretty sure that knowing the community it would be pretty obvious that said platform would cause outrage and a loss of veteran frequent contributors. I’m not moving to substack, the...

Oh FFS. Vote damn it vote. “The key that I think I’m – you know, that President Trump has promised me is – is control of the public health agencies, which are HHS and its sub-agencies, CDC, FDA, NIH and a few others, and then also the USDA" CNN – 29 Oct 24 RFK Jr. said Trump promised him ‘control’ of HHS and USDA...

I wonder if anyone would be interested in taking some of these long running topics over to a robust discussion forum. Heck, if there were some interest I have a decent amount of server space on a reseller account I play with. Maybe I’ll look into some open source discussion forums just for some of these topics. If there’s interest. I looked at a...

ChuckV: Your name is your real name, which is why duplicates are permitted as people do have the same name as each other on occasion. I just put tcg550 as my name and handle, there’s no way I’m using my real name on a platform that may accidentally or intentionally let my info out there. It appears as they use people’s names in email...

gatto: you will have to create a substack account. you can use the same name and avatar you used here, but it will be a separate account from yours here.

I initially came to BB for the odd stuff - at the time it was even a forbidden site at my job! I stayed for the experience of sharing comments with like minded people. I’m the epitome of the middle age cis white guy, and so are most of my friends and coworkers. The BBS has given me the opportunity to interact, albeit remotely...

Rejoice? Really? Sigh. Bar closing of the BBS entirely, this is probably the worst case scenario here. By paywalling off the BBS you’ll lose a LOT of commenters here, so you’re starting things out by asking us to pay for a greatly reduced community. Then there’s the choice of substack. Given thier links to the far right and the sensibilities of many of the...
