How do we stay connected?
The true purpose of a truth-seeking forum is to educate, inform, and share information (it's not a private club, Zook). This is one the modern ways of waking people up, including ourselves, to the Matrix of deception and manipulation that the sociopaths direct against us. The online forum is an assembly point where people come together to communicate and share. At some point, there will be actions taken to disrupt this activity by those who wish to enslave us.
Now that we live in a police state where our unalienable rights are routinely violated by the powerful and secretive state, we do indeed face the question of what to do if one or all of us are "disappeared". What can we do to aid a fellow truth-seeker that is targeted? And what if the forum itself is "disappeared"? Do we have any defense? Shouldn't we develop some kind of defense?
Here's one suggestion for a defense against the forum being taken down. I originally suggested something similar to Nexus moderators as a defense against Richard's dictatorship and tyranny when I realized he was using the Miserable User module against Andywight. Unfortunately, the moderators I approached refused to believe that Richard would play the "owner" card, which he did three months later, causing the forum to fracture and resulting in Universal Spectrum, which simply copied the same old Avalon-Nexus control hierarchy with all of its faults. I suggested back then that each moderator keep a copy of the forum backup, rather than let Richard control all the backups. What I would propose now is that each UP voting member keep a copy of the UP forum backup. Should the forum be taken down, any of the other backup copies could be used to restore the forum should the site need to be reconstructed at a later date. That way the forum does not live or die with Chicodoodoo, nor is it held hostage by his dictates.
