I can set up a special "Fourth Turning" section of the Generational Dynamics forum if there's any interest.  I'm already hosting the "Fourth Turning Forum archive" from the last forum.

But is anyone trying to save this forum?  What happened when you tried to reach Sam, the original administrator?

I gave you the phone number of the web site host.  Did anyone call them?  Do you want me to call them?

Somebody is paying the monthly bill for hosting this web site.  Do you know who that person is?

That person might be able to give me cPanel access to the web site server.  If so, then I can go into the mysql database and solve this problem.

Does anyone care, or is this forum simply going to die?

I tried an e-mail to Sam.  No response yet.  I was going to give him a few more days before calling MyBB.  Eric was less patient than I am, apparently, and set up the alternative Facebook forum.  As a number of people have already become members, I am not willing to try to fight it.

I do prefer a forum format.  If you set up a section of the Generational Dynamics site, I might visit and see how it takes off.  But I'm not currently intending to fight to get the MyBB forum alive, but will keep half an eye out to see if anyone else does.

I guess the question is if anyone is willing to get either a MyBB, Facebook or a Generational Dynamics forum set up and running, and which of the three takes off.  So far Eric's is the only one started, and he has gone far enough that I am not tempted to compete with it.

What I would prefer is the lack or red blue bias in letting people in or moderation while shutting down the spam.

My Star Trek forum based sim is also having a spam problem.  Much the same spam.  They are currently in the process of shutting down their forum and moving things to Discord.
