There's a football forum, Redcafe. It's about Manchester United, it's a forum for their fans. So anyway back in the day they had an interesting system to maintain the quality of their forum. New members had to spend time in their own section, they couldn't join the major boards. So all the new people just spent time talking with each other on their own.

The new forum was moderated by the same mods who looked after the main sections, and every once in a while they would pick out like 10 or 20 of the best contributors and promote them to the main forums.

So the new member section was like the place to vet new members and make sure only the real get through the selection process and join up with the rest of the community.

We could do something like that here, use the Bushes as the place for the new people to prove themselves in. Or at least we could if we had moderators with the power to actually do that sort of management. Regardless of how possible it is to actually do over here, it's a really good system to force the new people to prove themselves before joining us. It's sort of like the mafia, you know, you don't get to be a made man straight away. You have to put in the work for many years as an associate first, show that you're good enough and worthy of becoming a made man. Then you get promoted to join the ranks of the veterans.
I like this :ohhh:

Brilliant idea. I nominate myself and my bro @Freddie.Cane to be mods for the newbie forum :ehh:

I’ve been vehemently against opening up, but I’m starting to see the benefit of at least adding a few dozen people.

It’s the same nikkas arguing about the same shyt everyday at this point. Get a discord if you want to be insulated.

I ran a video porn site, I'm familiar with bandwidth and server needs. In no way is forum traffic even comparable to video streaming server demand.

Don't over think this or give excuses. There is something else going on in the background
:mjlol:I don’t care what shytty website you ran.

Why would you even compare video hosting to hosting a forum. Entirely different workloads that are not comparable. Y’all don’t know shyt about tech but be the loudest about.

I don't think coli's identity would survive an open registration. I can see it ending up like bx where it's cool shyt on black people, but you'll get banned for saying anything to other groups.
:snoop: my people, my people. Never learn...always trying to plateau. Or "go back" to something.

The world is all about growth and evolution. Anything that doesn't change and grow dies!

We need new blood. New faces, New ideas, New topics, New fukkery.

And what's the fear of cacs and MAGA coming in? They would bring much needed debate and engagement. Or are nikkas here only interested in circle jerks???
If I wanted that i would stay on reddit. I came here to get away from that bs. The dem shills are annoying enough.

Two things:

1. The owners of the site should be aiming to grow the size of reddit.

2. If you're secure and can stand on your square, what's there to fear of racist cacs and Maga? They call you Niger, you call them cac and keep it pushing.

This isn't a black site as it is. Alotta these people aren't black, or barely black.

I have brook personal email address from years ago. I'm gonna reach out to him to see if he can do sum updates and open registration.

Because like someone said this feels like a private group chat

I feel we need some fresh faces and at least another mod in the sports section
