Will TopNewsTalk ever return?

Don't bring it back unless it's moderated, otherwise it's not readable.

If it gets moderated, then the mods will soon get accused of taking sides as I've seen happening here. It's honestly a though spot to be.

Not really. Everyone knows who the biggest jerks were.

IMO letting banned people back in killed it. The site owner stated at least once it was not worth the effort to oversee it. So the inmates wound up running the asylum. Why waste time/resources on something that is not generating cash flow???

I believe there is only one active Mod on this site. So I understand why TNT was created. It was to purge this site of the problem children and not overload the mod we do have.

I disagree. There are plenty of political forums where folks disagree but are forced to do so respectively or get booted. I flung the poop as well but I was never even suspended on tbn or there unlike some who were banned on fp and run wild there.

Is it worth the time and money? I don't know but as Don said, it was run by the inmates.

Yep, that’s the sad state of affairs today.
Attack the person, not their policies.

Sounds familiar.

Facts are facts. The one deciding whose post passes muster should be neutral, not flaming the fire.

Pot calling out the kettle?

Might be...depending on how hard I might have smacked you...if you deserved it...LOL. But it is unlikely I interacted with you unless you changed your identity. I see you joined TBN in Jan of this year. I left TNT before then IIRC, so not sure if you saw some of my old posts Quite of few of the characters on TNT had more than one persona and some used different handles than on TBN. What is your story? Have been though a few disciplinary actions and "reimagined" yourself?

I did not need to "hide" my identity like many of those guys I was/am shooterdon in both forums.

But this "pot" left that kitchen months ago. I did not need that kind of forum to share ideas, have fun and learn something. Others find gratification rolling in the muck. It will not matter to me if it dies or survives.

My point was, from what I've seen and heard, those that trash TNT the most left after their party lost the election and could no longer support their position. That's all.

No, everyone left because it was impossible to have a cogent discussion about anything without the rabid Trump haters jumping in to derail everything.
It was pretty evident that M had ceded the site to jerrybob for his personal hate blog, and when the spammer ship crashed into it and filled it with 6000 hard on pill posts, he just cut the rigging and let 'er sink.
