... removing the ToE thread was flat out censorship ...

They even removed all posts I had written over a period of 5 years

plain censorship... illegal in any book

That would be like watching Jaws II. There will never be another Q/TOA as good as the original. The enigmatic drama was outrageously unique. Not to mention that the Feds were taking names with real intent to do harm. That is why the Thread got whacked. Admins did the right thing given the dynamic back then.

RIP TOA.

... actually, the Feds tried to use the thread --- but failed to prove anything ...

But it was heavy handed censorship all the way around.

Absolutely time to bring back the Q thread. TPA. Let’s Go.

In late October 2020, I had a conversation with Chicken IRL about the Q Thread. He said the thread drew a significant amount of traffic to the PTB, he personally felt like Q was probably not legit and he was concerned about the Feds cracking down on websites discussing Q posts before the 2020 election.

I said there arent any new posts from Q, we definitely dont want to invite scrutiny from the Feds threatening the site and so he and his brother shut it down and I put it on TD Classics for archiving

That’s it, that’s the list

the last post in it is 11/2/20 at 9:18pm by BoarEd

at the time, it had run its course and the owners made an Executive Decision

Finally confirmed that Chicken is in fact chicken shite and doesn't care about free speech. Thank you for confirming all my posts. Good day sir.

Why does Chicken have an obligation to “care about free speech” to the possible detriment of his business?

And what detriment might that be? People will shun this site? Doubtful. Advertisers will run away? Doubtful.

so far there are two Q threads and no anchors and no deletions, so I doubt the owners care anymore

I can ask about putting it as a locked sticky at the bottom of the PTB for people to read it if anybody cares to do so.

it is filled with great insight and research but most of it is people speculating what the Q posts mean. That is why it was managed so tightly, if we didnt maintain one thread every Q post would have created a flood of new threads on the PTB filled with Q Fanbois, Q haters, people starting threads to speculate, people starting threads to ask questions about it, etc

Create Q Talk separate from PT.

at the the time the PTB was not even one of the top 5 boards on this site

this site is a family business and is far more valuable as an LSU related brand than protecting a single thread on a lesser traffic board

in 2020 the MSM and FBI were saying some very scary things about websites that traffic in “propaganda” like Q and the “QANON” cult

so why continue with the thread? why potentially invite the scrutiny?
it had a three year and 6800+ page run


there is zero free speech protections on a private message board. Censorship and First Amendment protections involves the Government not the management of a private business.

yes, QANON was being called a crazed cult

Advertisers will run away?



the site uses Google Ads and there were real concerns about TD possibly being hindered from Ad Revenue

but the real concern was noise about Fed scrutiny and crackdowns on websites

plus there were doubts about whether Q was actually legit, so why continue with hosting the thread if it just isnt worth it any more?

And people here have tried to gaslight the rest of us about J6, but it was pretty wild to watch in real time.

That whole post 2020 election period was a volatile time.
