There has been a lot of discussion about the choice to make the forum member supported. I am sorry that you feel the decision is not of benefit to you. There are still many open threads that can be read by all. The forum costs money to maintain and for the last years since its inception the admin have been covering the costs. Given the situation to either keep the forum going or shut it down, it was decided to make it member-supported. There are still many no-cost options available via YouTube, Odysee and others. Also discord
It is not mandatory to take part in the current forum configuration and I hope you find other options that are more to your liking. Thanks for being with us up to this point.
