Who runs this site?

I am very surprised there is no phone app or even just a better way to view the board in a browser. It works but I'd like to make the map fill more of the screen without zooming. I have been on the site for at least 5 years and have not noticed any changes to the interface. I suppose since this is free the motivation to make improvements or value since time is money is minimal. I web design skills are not good enough to help, wish I could, still learning. If there is an android phone app though I would certainly use it over the browser on my phone. Let me know, thanks.

hi LukeNext2U :wink:

unfortunately, this site is moderated by brain-dead liberal snowflakes who think using the same Management techniques as the cesspool of Reddit is some sort of good idea ](*,) . They also enjoy randomly editing other people's forum posts and then pretending they never did, because they have very little integrity. That's not even counting all of the accounts they have silenced, suspended/banned for tedious reasons over the years now. It's a rather self-destructive behavior commonly expressed by hypocritical entities.
You WILL however, find a few brilliant humans around here very active and keeping things running, but not getting paid for their efforts. They are usually willing to give their best efforts in helping new members. Hopefully they speak up.

Last year/Early this year, the owner's REAL NAME was revealed when some harmless links were posted, showing LinkedIn info and a couple proxy websites.
quite strangely - and inexplicably - the links ALL DISAPPEARED! very quickly. As you could guess, its a guy who belongs to a specific Religion that loves to exert inappropriate financial leverage on everything and everyone around them [-X . Based upon the information gleaned in the narrow window (12-36 hours) in which the owners' harmless professional affiliations were displayed, it has been postulated that he may be utilizing data usage statistics from this website, and selling it externally to data analytics.

That's a really really bad No-No. And likely very true, considering the panicked speed in which the links were deleted. Quite odd. He prefers to completely neglect most upkeep responsibilities on this website, and allows it rot away in lieu of passive income to trickle in. A total class act.

Your concerned thoughts are perfectly relevant, but an irresponsible owner who allows irresponsible moderators to run amok only breeds bias, disarray, and censorship abuse :( ...good luck in helping us figure out solutions to circumvent the rubbish around here; one would hope the ideal response is to invite you to submit a list of ideas as to how best improve accessibility and remove confusion!

Honestly, I don't pay much attention to it and I think many people are the same as me
