Stormfront Refugees

[Ole Massa]

Well, it looks like they won't be back. 

I know it doesn't help you any, but it is encouraging to see the number of members online there increasing.  As of 2:25 pm EDT, there were 34.  If it gets back into the hundreds, I'll consider it a victory of sorts. 

At least the forum is working smoothly, better than it has in years.

I was thinking about all of the old posters who never returned after the 2017 debacle.    Hopefully, this new forward momentum keeps up.

But they need to seriously get it to where guests can post also. Sites like Stormfront can't just survive on members alone.

I duuno, frankly I think Stormfront should be turned into an archive, and an entirely new forum set up to replace it.

Yes, just like VNN.

Big old database error when attempting to access Stormfront at the moment. Hopefully it's a sign that Don is tinkering around.

[Phoenix]

Yes, hopefully.  This latest crash just wiped out a massive PM I tried to send.  When I got the DE, I tried to save it, but I hit the wrong key and bye bye.

Ain't gonna rewrite it if/when SF comes back.  Fate has spoken.

That bird just flew the coop.

Yes, just like VNN.

Slight mistake in the previous post...

VNN as an alternative could perhaps do, if its subforums' structure was not so, how should I say... horrible...

Compared to VNN, the way Stormfront is structured represents the apex of logical organization, not to mention the totally useless statistics in subforums and threads, while post are not even numbered...

Every time I open VNN, I think: "What is that crap? Who organized it that way?".

Aaaah...

I think varg chose the new forum software for VNN based on price. He's paying for everything himself, so he picked what he could afford. When it was run by Alex Linder, it used the exact same forum software as Stormfront.

I'm not talking about the software, but about the definition and organization of the subjects of the subforums and groups of subforums:

Showcase - The Problem - The solution - General Discussion - The Struggle - The Political solution - To Do - The Personal Solution - Our Culture - Loxist Culture - Clwnage, etc...

Endless list of non-intuitive, dispersed, messy, redundant subjects, that doesn't naturally and intuitively  orient and guide the potential poster or reader towards the right subforum, if there is one at all that is the right one. So one end up aimlessly wandering around.
Instead of a streamlined, focused and ergonomic subjects structure that helps orientation inside the forum, it's exactly the opposite.

I'm sure that one can get "used to" it, but I don't want to get used to stupidity.

And should I add, the hierarchy of it all is completely messed up, in the sense that things on different hierarchical levels are put on the same level, while some that are on different levels are put on the same level.

Back to Stormfront. If one would archive it, and use a new software, it may be perhaps more resistant, but the DDoS attacks would continue on the new one, just the same.

I don't know enough to evaluate how much it would improve things.

Previous post. It should read: "while some that are on the same level are put on different levels"

The hierarchical structure of a forum is essential for its ergonomy. If one dos mess up that, the forum is messed up.

Stormfront's structure is not perfect but so much better than VNN+s

I never found the organization of VNN Forum to be much different from the organization of Stormfront, except that there were fewer subforums because it is a smaller forum, but to each his own.

VNN is, unfortunately, quite moribund at the moment. It seems barely functioning; needing way more members. It could certainly do better with its whole setup.
