    After the old defunct philosophyforums.com was sold and was no longer maintained I kind of quit doing the whole philosophy forum thing altogether (also there was personal stuff I had to take care of). However I noticed that some of the old forum members are at this forum (instead of another forum that I have been visiting) and wanted to reach out and talk a little bit to see who else is here. :D

    Hello and welcome @dclements. I'm here 8-)

    In case you don't know, we set up this forum specifically for PF members when it was sold back in 2015. Many of us suspected things wouldn't turn out well over there.

    Thanks. :D

    I remember getting a email or PM about many forum members relocating to another site, but that was before the site stopped working and other issues that required my attention and caused me to stop posting for awhile. By the time I started posting again it had been awhile since I got the message and wasn't sure where to find it to use the link to get here.

    Anyways I'm just glad to see someplace that has some of the old forum members in it. :)

    I sometimes post on here, too. Currently busy playing Overwatch though, so there's that.

    I was briefly a mod on the old philosophy forum about 11 years ago (as notquitethere). It's remarkable how the new owners could mess the place up so much. Maybe the residual ad revenue covers their costs? Goes to show that a community discussion group shouldn't be run for profit.

    Wow, that was a long time ago. Way before my time. Although, even for me it has been 7 years, which also seems like a long time ago.

    Anyway, welcome.

    I wish. That'd make me 21, which is actually how old I was when I joined PF. But people often assume that I'm about that age anyway, and are surprised when I tell them my age. Apparently I look several years younger than I am.

    forums.philosophyforums.com sure seems like a ghost town now.
    (Think I may have joined in 2008 or thereabouts.)

    For-profit or otherwise, regular maintenance/attention is required.
    @Paul and the admins/mods did a pretty good job of that.

    What's with all this welcoming refugees nonsense. Send them all back, they'll only create problems and undermine our civilisation.
