I knew is not rocket science to handle the forum today.
Culture is very important in any community.
Since you provide only platform, can we build a different community whereby we revert back to olden days? Just a suggestion,I am not sure plausible.
We leave out those keen to fight in a different community.
Imagine moderators also get the stick in all the recent debacles. I remembered reading profanities posting blatantly by recalcitrant.
Please do not give up hope! We need you to be strong to weather the haze in SBF.
PSI in SBF only reach 150 and not hazardous yet.

Clones, flame wars etc have been part and parcel of the internet since I started my very first forum way back almost 20 years ago. Some of the members here were not even born and many had yet to grow cock hair.
If there was a solution I would have come up with one by now surely. 
However one thing that I do know is that any measures taken to tightly control registrations, posts and comments will always spell the death of the community as nobody wants to operate in an environment that resembles a regimented army camp.
I have therefore allowed the forum to evolve on its own with minimum intervention and it has worked reasonably well for 15 years.
I have been asked to be judge and jury on many an occasion but sadly I cannot play this role in a virtual world where it is next to impossible to verify anything.
You guys have to make it work and learn to get along somehow. I am really tired and don't have the energy or the enthusiasm that I had when the internet was in its infancy. I rely on everyone here to keep this forum going.
It has been through many ups and downs. The government has attacked the forum, hackers have attacked the forum, it has been brought almost to its knees by a DDoS attack of a disgruntled OKT that was kicked out and this cost me huge money to defend against and the cost is ongoing.
At the end of the day, it is still just a platform and the collective will of the members along with their financial support is what will determine its fate.
It is actually a very unique piece of Singapore history and it would be sad to see it go down the drain. It has come a long way and still has many unique features. Tell me what other sex forum has an in house doctor to take care of the members' needs.  |
