There will be no upgrade to the AFET: we, the FE, should have quit posting messages here way back in 2015. This forum was Daniel's idea, and he abandoned it some six years ago. The RE will also soon quit this forum, there will be no one left.
I very rarely write on the stolenhistory forum.
For once, sandokhan is right. This forum is doomed.
It's all good, as it happens. Forums come and go. But we simply don't attract new members and our collective activity has been declining for months and probably years.
Facebook, reddit, tumblr cannot be blamed for the disaster caused by spacecowgirl (admin) and the two RE mods who practically destroyed this forum for the past five years.
Imagine this: spacecowgirl was someone who posted mostly in the lower forums. A RE. Not once, not even once, did she ever defend or even take part in some kind of a debate in the upper forums. She is to blame for the decline of this forum, but as you can see, she doesn't seem to understand what is going on. Totally unprepared to be admin, or to even dream of passing judgments on the hardcore FE members of this forum. When asked why the earth is flat, she invites the reader to "look out your window".
She is the one who carefully protected both rabinoz and jackblack while they wreaked havoc in the upper forums. rabinoz tried the same recipe over at the tfes forum: they shut him down in less than 24 hours. Both should have been immediately expelled from this forum. But the RE admin and mods of course were cheering on and very happy to see this forum being destroyed.
If it wasn't for the few of us, the true FEB, this forum would have been doomed ever since 2015. We kept it going. Big mistake.
Go over to scienceforums or physicsforums, tell them that you are FE and that you would like to be the admin or a mod. They would ban you in no time at all. Here, the worst enemies of FET were put in charge to destroy this forum as fast as they could.
