I had to look at my Profile, but I wandered in in 2019. Where had I been before ...
Long, long ago, when 56K modems were still moderately cool ... I started with discussion sites in 1997 with Warships1.com (naval history) and Kaleidoscapes. com (homeschooling). Ignoring homeschooling sites and sites I was on briefly (TOS was one of the latter):
From late 1998 to early 2001, I was on Capitol Hill Blue Reader Rant. At the time it was conservative-libertarian, but well after I bailed it went crazy-Prog (almost as crazy as DU). CHB RR is either a cyber-ghost town or shut down. The owner, Doug, said a couple of times in late 2000 or early 2001 that he was going to shut down CHB RR, and after the second such time I bailed.
In 2001 I moved on to United Conservative (later Allied Conservatives), which only lasted a bit more than a year due to the owner falling off the wagon and getting erratic. UC/AC be bye-bye.
From there I spent some time at Gold Talk (now defunct), leaving because the loose moderation let a few trolls dominate.
I spent several years on The Annoyed Army (now defunct), leaving because the owner was too busy with family and life and was unable to maintain the site.
I spent several years on The Republican Operative (now defunct), which got pretty toxic. When a new owner changed to a totally different SW package that was almost as clunky RYO (like TOS'), I gave it a couple of months and left.
Since then I've bounced around among Conservative Cave, Conservative Underground (hacked to Valhalla several years ago), The Politics Forums, and here.
Class ... Class ... Wake up!
