I used to enjoy a read, now it's tumbleweed in the breeze
probably because there it bot all hapenning at the moment ;)
TBH I think it is more down to short sighted admins slowly banning all those that disagreed with them for supposed infractions of the rules while at the same time those members that did agree with the admins where given free reign to do what they wanted. In the end you just give up.
It also seems that the sun shines out of Shane Moores ar5e and to say otherwise is sacriledge.
But heyho there is always the Post FB page, the fkin height of intellectual conversation.
For the record - hardly anyone has been banned from this forum. If we can't trust someone (or they're getting a bit OTT) they may be put on pre-mod. (which is simply post approval). We don't have any particular political allegiances - and all opinions are welcome (as long as they don't breach legal stuff). It's more a question of 'how you say it' rather than the content which has led to a very small number of people being out on pre-mod. PS Since the tragic death of SteveL there's only been one active admin. on here - and I've only one pair of hands.

May I ask as to how the forum is funded?
It's a shame to see it so quiet, however it's understandable at the moment. Hopefully it will become relevant again in the near future....
How's the forum funded? When busier there was a residual income from Google ads. - that paid for the web hosting fees. The kitty's since run dry & the forum isnow being paid for out of personal funds.

A recent gem:

this tax comes under the Local Government Finance Act 1992. All acts require consent to be given the force of law, they are rules and regulations of society. They are not law. There is no law requiring anybody to pay tax of any kind. All taxes are made out to a legal body, Mr,Mrs whoever and not to the human being. This is why many judgements made in court with regards to council tax usually fall apart at the very beginning if the person defending themselves understands the law. Because the tax is against a piece of paper (birth certificate) and if there is no human to represent the legal fiction then there is nobody to pay. You presented many legal arguments for the tax but no lawful argument. As you are aware all acts fall under marine law (law of the sea) and have no power on land where common law (law of the land) is the power. These acts all require consent, and to say otherwise is being untruthful is it not?This was first brought up here a few years back:
http://hptimbral.hartlepoolpost.co.uk/index.php/topic,3159.msg32442.html#msg32442
It is the 'Legal Name Fiction' and these people believe a Birth Certificate is a way for a Government to 'own' its citizens as property and if forced to identify themselves they claim they are
'an authorised representative of the legal entity (insert their birth name)'
They believe all courts operate under 'Maritime Law' and that as they only recognise Common Law' they can not be convicted of anything.
This is one of these crackpots in action at court :

his screams at 3m:46s and his strop at 7m:10s are hilarious. I feel sorry for his poor wife and child in the background throughout the charade.
In the USA these people are 10 times as crazy and armed. Called 'The Soveriegn Citizens' they have actually killed Police Officers in pursuit of their cause.

Do you really mean the people you agreed with were allegedly 'banned' and the people you didn't agree with weren't....?
Er, ..... isn't that what you're accusing admin of.....?
and we care because?
I am reminded what Rupert Murdoch said when he was accused of being a right-wing propagandist. He said his newspapers were entirely independent and the editors could print anything they wanted because he made sure he only employed editors who you knew were conservative reactionaries.
You just rig the rules and then by default you get your echo chamber.
PS
Murdoch's claim he never pressured his editors over content was disputed by Andrew Neil who as a Murdoch editor, was made to run stories he knew were political propaganda.
Very few are banned on this forum. Sorry to disappoint.

Whose 'applications'....? Anyone we know. To ask the question you must know some of the alleged rejects.
Bit of a Riddle i suppose but who used to be vocal on forum and is absent....
i had a few months off because Mk0 was basically talking sH*te every day...but came back wig him wigerously when he kicks off. Not much else to do in a lockdown....
Was it the entire membership off the local Labour Party...?
Other suspects come to mind.......
Terry Plywood? Blogger and raconteur.
or
Dave Bloke? .... the bloke who coined the phrase...' trying is the first step towards failure'.
or
Mao Tse Wainthorpe, radical nuisance?
or
Phil Ossifer.....?
or
Was it the other half of your Panto horse?
C'mon, give us a clue.
I noticed every post ever made by Kipperdip has been removed. Now the only evidence is his quotes in other peoples posts. When did his posts go?
I am glad I made a back-up.

I can confirm that none of his posts have been removed by admins. We did, however, lose some back up stuff (years ago) due to DDoS attacks (which meant that 24 hours were lost when a previous day's back up had to be used to restore data). In addition, server & software changes MAY (& I'm not too sure about this) have created 'holes'. If anyone thinks that we have either the time (or the inclination) to carry out selective 'pruning' they're quite simply a) barking up the wrong tree, b) obsessional or c) plain crackers.

That is good to know.
If I meet anyone who claims such I will reassure them.
In the case of Kipperdip its his membership (he is not on the members list) and only his posts. Threads where he posted are still there with replies to his posts. Kipperdid was posting up until at least June 2016.
It is an odd glitch in The Matrix.
There have been many attempts to bring down the forum but the only successful one I remember is the time a poster used an assumed name to defend himself on the post and then hacked in and deleted every thread/post about him when he was unmasked and outed. Only my copies show he was even here!

Wow who knows what is stored on the MKZero Servers? What will happen to all that historically critical data once your curl your toes up?
This forum is an interesting place occasionally but not the Washington Post/Guido/Black list. Nobody really cares what happened 5 years ago.
You really need to get a life.

I know which two out of three my money is on.
I'd go for a heady cocktail of all three.
