I've noticed that the cabal of super high post counts and moderators tend to be somewhat left of center over there. Political and religious posts and generally not allowed on most forums, of any topic. But they allow certain individuals (high posters and moderators) to color their posts with a political slant, just as long as it is skewed left of center. Dissent is not tolerated.

There are some great threads there and fun discussions about rocketry, with really good people. But the cabal of super high posters and some of the most prominent moderators can spoil discussion.

I created a new thread and asked in an open Forum ""Who Owns The Rocketry Forum ?" Crickets.


It could be YOU!

According to their WHOIS info, their domain registration expires July 25, 2023 19:48:31 UTC. Yes, that's just four months from now! Swoop in and register the domain before they renew and it could be yours!

Now wouldn't that be a hoot!

Domain EPP status codes by ICANN list: clientTransferProhibited

"This status indicates that it is not possible to transfer the domain name registration, which will help prevent unauthorized transfers resulting from hijacking and/or fraud. If you do want to transfer your domain, you must first contact your registrar and request that they remove this status code."

Thank Paul - I very much believe in live and let live - like I tell the students when I substitute in their classroom, “you take care of you and let others take care of themselves” which seems to be as difficult for some (if not most) adults as it is for kindergartners. 😆

I try not to get too crazy on here, despite my twisted sense of humor. On the other hand, I like to stir the pot on political sites and watch it hit the fan!

Growing up on "Bob Newhart" and "Monty Python" didn't help much.
