Jack Weber Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I would consider it if I couldn't find another diverse forum. I agree with an earlier post that without good moderators this could degenerate into Rabble 2.. I doubt that... There's a level of sanity and practicality here that does'nt exist at a place like Rabble... This place is not a rabid haven for Marxist's,like Rabble is...Nor is it a haven for Right wing nutters like Free Dominion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeyhands Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm probably one of the edgiest posters here and I'm not banned. Oh yes, you're pretty edgy all right.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shwa Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Oh yes, you're pretty edgy all right.... Gay porn edgy apparently. Which would explain Mr. Canada's ability to toot his own horn. If you know what I mean. Note to Mr. Canada: sorry, I couldn't resist and I couldn't find the thread you made just for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodyminded Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) I would consider it if I couldn't find another diverse forum. I agree with an earlier post that without good moderators this could degenerate into Rabble 2.. In tone and style, maybe (though I doubt it), but not likely in ideological bent. Our two biggest trolls here are right-wingers; and the sensible conservatives are as loud, numerous, and willing to tackle debates as are the lefties.

Canadaka Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) I am sad to see another old Canadian website "shutting down". I know all to well what running a large Canadian content site & forums for over a decade is like. I've never sought funding for www.canadaka.net its always been funded by advertising and donations, even then there have been tough times. And I think all us old guard of sites & forums have seen declining numbers in the wake of Facebook and other social media. Vivelecanada.ca faced similar situation years ago and I offered to step in to host, upgrade the site and administrate it. I would like to put that offer forward to mapleleafweb.com as well. I want to keep Canadian content websites alive on the net. I am willing to host mapleleafweb.com on my servers free of charge. To keep the site running if funding for hosting is an issue. I am a drupal developer so I know all about running and hosting drupal sites. And I would love to add Mapleleafweb to the network of Canadian content sites http://network.canadaka.net/ although this is not a requirement. Anyways something to consider.

scribblet Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 It's not shutting down yet, but the level of discourse is deteriorating with more personal attacks and expressions of "STFU" etc. That type of behaviour and the increasing amount of personal attacks does not make for a good debate, it lowers the level of discussion. I'd be interested in another diverse forum with good moderation. If you know of any please PM me. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbg Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 It's not shutting down yet, but the level of discourse is deteriorating with more personal attacks and expressions of "STFU" etc. People who curse when they post must feel very strongly about their views.
