I was thinking for some time it seemed that the Trump thread would run into some kind of censorship. It seemed pretty clear that NF123 was there on an agenda. It was nice to see what kind of BS was being peddled by NF123 and address it but eventually it was better to not have a poster like that try and control the discussion . There were better topics to bring up. New Ag Talk has required a login and user name/location to read and post in their Trending Politics forum for a few years now. I haven't looked at that one for a year or two so don't know how it is going over there. Used to be some good topics.

I logged out over there a few days ago, for the first time since I joined, I haven't posted anything there for a few weeks now. I still find it a bit off with the amount of traffic there, but it mostly seems to be from old members that I have never seen since I joined, and have made a hundred posts or more since they joined. These guys seem to be having legitimate discussions and know what they are talking about, but after seeing the rise of new guys posting and not knowing what they were talking about, I find myself questioning if these guys are real or not. Why were they so quiet for all the years I was there? Maybe it was me they didn't like. If the same thing happens here and you all leave and make another new site and don't tell me about it, then I will know for sure!!! At least I never really left any intellectual information over there, unlike most of you. Most of what I had to say was pretty useless and low brow.

Kevlar, I couldn't help but crack up laughing as I read the last part of you're comment. Perhaps these older but quiet members got a memo stating that they better start posting or else their nuts sacks will be in jeopardy. That and they sent a few coins over to a team of the scum bag call center type places to entice them to create profiles by stealing some persons photo from online and have semi legit questions handed to them by the administration to pretend to be a farmer although then no clue how to answer a farmers reply to their post. I find it extremely suspicious whatever game is going on behind the scenes over there, obviously there are still real members as well with legit threads also.

Ever wonder if we were the problem and now we're gone and everyone is happy? Yeah me either.

Still seems pretty fishy. A whole lot of accounts that have like less than 5 posts every, and haven't logged in for years magically get their accounts back (we all know how much of a hassle it was after the password reset fiasco).
Who's to say these guys weren't victims of the password fiasco, and someone bought the list and are using them. Its just really weird as lots of those newbie accounts are from like 2008-2012.
Also, for any mods, they can clean up topics and stuff for accounts that are less than 30 days old. All it takes is for an account more than 30 days to make 'reasonable posts', and stir up discussion. Again, it is harvest time, so a lot of harvest questions are popping up.
If someone starts out with a "I'm doing pre-burn and want to apply Xtendimax" thread, or if someone knows one of the guys who started posting again in real life and could confirm they haven't been on their account, we can be pretty sure these posters are coming out of nowhere.

I was going to ask that too. Noticed one person last night was registered under his real name I would assume and was from Minnesota, wouldn't be too hard to find a phone number I wouldn't think.
Makes me wonder what is going on, like you said, most of the people posting there now haven't been on since before the password deal, and many of the diehard members that wanted to stay on couldn't get logged back in, how could these guys do it so easily?

I can't believe it ... well actually I can given the mess created on the other forum but just noticed this personality once again on there and if your wondering his first post is in the music thread. These characters can do no wrong, they put a cat with 9 lives to shame.

Well thanks a lot, now I had to go log in and see that for myself. I reported him. I have a very good feeling I will be getting banned. I should maybe send Don a message before I am banned, can't figure out why he has let all this happen.

For sure perhaps Don can shed some light on it from his perspective away from the prying eyes of the main forum although I expect anything said is fair game for the forum to gain access to as in personal conversations ?. I'd be totally guessing to know anything about what Don's view point is or ability on that forum to regain any control of the weird personalities that keep coming back for another round.
I hope I haven't caused you to become banned on there, that wasn't my intent but rather to point out the lunacy of what seems to be an on going thing even though the administration found no problem in banning real and contributing long time members for simply speaking up about the very issue that is still taking place or even worse now.

I don't think they can afford to loose anymore real members so I don't think you would get banned. I am curious also to why Don has not done anything about the shenanigans over there. I can't speak for over there, but it doesn't look like I can view any PMs here. Maybe if someone reported a pm I maybe able to, but honestly I am not sure.

Something's really odd about this. Months ago I blocked his posts so they won't view for me. And he's still blocked, even though it now says he joined 2 months ago and has only 1 post. It's the same account as before. user id 170938. If I click on his username and see his profile it says he has 42 posts, but if you click on them, it shows only this one post. Super strange.

I remember don saying a couple years ago if you were a mod you could reset your post count

lol! No, I'm not blaming you, pretty sure it wasn't your fault for what I said when I reported him! I don't care if I get banned forever from there, I'm thinking of removing my account anyway. Wouldn't be the first site I would be banned from.
