Thank you for posting this! Great work, documenting such a complicated process... somebody should streamline the posting program 🤔

Honestly, it should be as simple as adding a link + comment, like the modern world these days, with dup check, etc. Categorization could happen afterwards.

I really don’t care for the “forum” aspect in practice. Originally, these were more autonomous groups by design, it’s why “fr” is synonymous with “news” in old URLs, that was Free Republic, the rest was supposed to be “different site.” E.g. there is ugly code to move threads between forums, it wasn’t a designed function. But now I’m rambling.

Gosh, if only there was someone at FR smart enough to do something about this. (KIDDING!)

But have you ever thought about eliminating the 8 different forums and just use one open forum for all threads?

I've been here since 2005 and I still don't know what a VetsCoR forum is or what it's used for. Same with RLC Liberty Caucus and GOP Club.

Anywho. Thanks for all you do.

It's a pleasure to hear your thoughts on both practical and political issues, and the history and intention behind FR, in a casual spontaneous post, so you escape the definition of 'rambling'. You might have to add a few more 'beverages' to your tagline and engage in 3 pages of soliloquy before the idea might surface in a few minds.
