How long those forums will be permitted to exist is the more important question.
Some debate and advertising platforms crashed and vanished entirely as a result of being directly or indirectly involved in significant news stories. Even if this board makes an effort to maintain its integrity, all it takes is one person or connection to a catastrophic occurrence to bring it to the attention of a much more critical audience. Nobody knows what will happen next, but change is inevitable. We should be thankful that we may still freely express ourselves, assist those in need, and instruct members and visitors for the time being.
