What is going on over there? I do not check in there regularly, but it seems a LOT of folks are really pissed off but I cannot figure what it is about.Originally Posted by BucketBack
Of course we welcome you here, but I do not want to make the same mistakes.

What is going on? Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Same place it always was.
Only difference is that it was formerly owned by a company known as Forum Foundry and they just recently sold it to Vertical Scope. On 05/04/16, the new owners announced they had acquired Prepper Forum from Forum Foundry. Had it been a Nissan Titan Forum, 5.0 Mustang Forum, Wood Working Forum, or Garage / Man Cave Forum, they probably would have been heralded in with open arms and welcome smiles.
But since it is a bunch of preppers who are more than naturally suspicious about any new interlopers - but especially evil overlord, establishment, with the ability to track IP addresses and scan cookies and what not - people got a little uneasy. They are afraid that it is now a corporate tool to market products to you. And it is. But it always was. Any time you participate and pay no money - YOU are the product. So they are selling ads and getting revenue just like Forum Foundry was. No biggie.
But some have used it as an excuse to hop over here. I'm still happy with PF - but it isn't perfect. It has (in the last 18 mos) moved away from true skills and prepping to more political and religious gritching. There are some things I wished they would do differently like require 10 posts before you post for sale. I also wished they would scan and approve your first 5 messages. And I wish they would take a more active mod / admin role at steering unproductive threads back around to something on-topic. I'm not leaving there. Not yet anyway. But now that I'm here I'm sure I'll naturally gravitate towards the one that I get more out of.
The only thing that separates man from animal is our affinity for toilet paper. Once we as a society lose that affinity we begin to descend back into the animal kingdom, and after three or four days you will find the food chain beginning to invert on itself.

If your looking for the long arm of the law and tight reins then this may not be your place.
Give it a shot. Its a fun place with folks who actually care even though we may argue occasionally just for fun.
