The problem we had at the other forum was impossible to have predicted.
Numerous issues.
(And don't think people here aren't this petty and immature... because they are)
#1 - Groups sent in spies to join and spy on other forums and started telling others what was being said
#2 - Moderators became impossibly biased towards the groups they belonged to
#3 - Software glitch allowed Private forum owners to see the backboards (moderator forum that only mods can see)
#4 - And most of all... the private forums took over the forum as a whole, in other words people stopped posting in the public forums in favor of posting in the private groups.
As Admins, Pete and I basically lost control of the forums.
Very sad. Cause let me tell you, in it's prime... no political site was better than USPoliticsOnline (USPO) if I do say so myself.
The whole forum became a Private forum after Pete and I left, and eventually died some years ago
Like here... it had 1000's of active members
