Annual Forum Post

[Kaesekopf]

Here's the annual post I make about the forum renewal.

Keep this place going?  Or let it fade into Internet obscurity? 

[Stu Cool]

I might not post much but I almost look every day.  Lots of good information and discussion.

[Prayerful]

This place is good. The upcoming and foolish suggested amendment of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act could affect forums badly, making the forum operator responsible for content posted, whereas now there isn't responsibility for third party content. One or two I know will have to close as defending against legal harassment would be become uneconomic.

I really like this place; enjoy the people here and the discussions; its a good place to interact with other Trads about serious and non serious topics; even to have a few yuks; I hope we can keep this place open for another year.

I don't post much, but I do check in every day and would miss this forum if it were gone.

[OmniaInstaurareInChristo]

I vote to keep it open. Great site.

I voted Yes. I think there's a better representation of trads here than on the current alternatives.  By "better" I don't mean larger (although it could be).  I mean more in keeping with trad viewpoints, knowledge, and lifestyles IRL.

Can you put a voting system in place for posts? Maybe even cash awards for highly regarded posts?

[andy]

keep it

Oh, how thoughtful.  But, I really would feel very uncomfortable taking money for my posts

At a dollar per Thanks you'd have a tidy little sum there.

I learn a lot here and read several posts or more almost every day. Catholic Answers will be replaced with something even more liberal I fear. Fisheaters is the only other forum I know of that offers intelligent discussion on real Catholic topics, and I don't think a lack of competition would do it much good.

The Church rescued the great Western tradition of civilized debate. I would hate to see that tradition replaced by nothing but tweets and TikTok videos. SD is one of the last two holdouts giving Catholics an opportunity to discuss their faith or simply post interesting information. I think it should remain even if it's the Last Man Standing.

SD just about runs itself without moderation.  Why would you close it now.   

[Acolyte]

This has become my " shut up and learn something " forum. I don't post much but it seems to be the best trad forum. An orthodox forum really. Hope it's here for a few years longer.

Cost of registering the domain, keeping on top of software upgrades so the forum doesn't get hacked, etc.

That's all fairly minimal though.  If he didn't want to do even that anymore then he could just give the forum to someone, instead of closing the doors.
