Growth Legal Considerations for Buying and Selling Forum Databases
I've sold many forums. I've also merged forums. I have never had one user ask to be removed. I never really thought it to be a problem. If a person wanted to be removed I am sure the new owner would oblige them.- Cloaked

General What platforms have you left for another?
Early on with my first forum I moved from custom made that I built to UBB then wwwthreads and finally to vbulletin. I also moved a few sites from vbulletin to IPB then xenforo and now back to IPB. I use what I feel is best for what I want to do. I am not loyal to any forum software.- Cloaked

My son and I started a forum in 2015. 2 weeks after we started it his wife told him she was pregnant with his first daughter. I took over the site by myself. A week later I had my first stroke.

General Have you ever wanted to create a forum for a specific niche, but didn't?
I had a forum for referees of all sports geared towards youth and high school athletics. I coached football and baseball back then. It was popular until the school athletic departments put up their own forum.- Cloaked

Trump Closes USAID
It's inline with his policy of America First. The platform he stood on and what got him elected for his second term. Everyone knew this was coming so the surprise and shock is disingenuous at best. Not for me to judge. He only did what he said he would do.- Cloaked

Anybody running a ham rig?
Ham radio is universal. All the bands are the same everywhere in the World. Each country decides what license class gets which bands to operate on. The language is also universal. Morse code.- Cloaked

Anybody running a ham rig?
The only band you can legally broadcast on without a license is 11 meters which is CD radio. That used to need a license 100. My callsign was WNF1068. It was deregulated in 1984 or so. I think there are a couple UHF frequencies you can broadcast on, but, those are short range communication...- Cloaked

Anybody running a ham rig?
So much different now. In my day I had to pass a code test first then theory test to get a Novice license. Then more code and more theory for Tech, General, Advanced and finally Extra. I taught novice code classes for a while. At the end we would give the class the test and if they passed we...- Cloaked

I'm a ham operator. Callsign N9KN. I run a Kenwood TS930S.HF rig 10Mto180M. I have a homebrew Drake TR4CW HF rig that I just rebuilt. 250 watts operates on 10-80. It's a CW only rig. I've been licenses since 1980. I operate in 20M CW most of the time.- Cloaked
