stock here. It is useless to spend time on something which has a systemic problem that degrades one's efforts by 90%, ESPECIALLY when those problems can be readily and effectively enough, solved. The systemic problem is the consistent and relentless attacks by trolls whose only purpose is to degrade the site.
Admin refuses to ban these trolls (in a timely manner). Sure they can get a new IP address, which is the most likely way to ban someone, but their "identity" and habits are impossible to hide for long, so with a new Moniker and new IP, they would be quickly identified and re-banned.
The quality of the discourse would increase dramatically. Other news sources would point at ENENEWS as a method of waking people up to the real problems that we face. But with the "new owners" or the "captured admin", that is not to be.
So the question is, why is it like this? With tens of thousands of readers, if the site were "taken down" by the "new owners", there would be an outrage of "conspiracy" and not just that, but a new similar site would be set up by someone else.
So a better strategy for the nuclear cartel? Leave the site up and allow trolls to infect it, disgusting newcomers when they see tons of profanity, supposed alcoholics, drugs, flat earthers, and mandela trash. Make it irrelevant without creating outrage AND a new similar site.
With a $2B annual budget, the nuclear cartel protects it's gravy train of $400B per year.
Who is to say they didn't offer the former site owner, $200,000 to hand over ownership of the site?
In the past, admin has been slow to ban, but in the past, the trolls we jousted actually had a somewhat beneficial effect to the site, with many new readers and MANY new active participants.
That is not the case with the new set of trolls, which just degrade the site, diluting it with so much almost sociopathic non-sense, and disgusting over the top unnecessary profanity.

From the body of text below, this was my signoff posting.
ya Alan, I am done with this crappy site. the trolls won, at least until Admin steps up his game.
He may be thinking that number of comment is the only thing that represents a "vital site".
It has become a joke of a site. aloha good peoples, I need to focus on fishing and not saving the world, for now.

As it is now ENE is a failed forum, Much of the important work, work needed, is being held down with a low budget shill force getting paid by the post. Unless this changes and the counter force is put in place this forum is and will remain dead. Perhaps that is the point.
Nice, Good job Stock. You get it just fine.
ReplyDeleteYa, looks clearly that ENENEWS was captured.
DeleteI noticed that the Off topic forum went down after i brought up the anchor chain rip in the bow of the ACX. Must have touched a nerve there. It's still blank. I managed to get the whole topic posted on RENSE though. I doubt that ENE is going to be of much use in the future.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I have been launching my own boat, 28 foot combo fishing and touring boat. So saving time NOT being at ENE has been useful and essential.
DeleteBoat is in the water, even floating.
I took a sailboat class, Very fun. Learned a lot. sort of an expensive hobby though. That form of wind power is about as cool as one can get.
ReplyDeleteya I did a few mostly marine safety type courses, quite useful
DeleteR.I.P ENENews. I wonder where all our data is now.....
ReplyDeleteWould have been awesome to archive all the comment sections of each article, and not rely solely on the wayback machine.
DeleteI was thinking about doing that some while back and decided not to, The thoughts of wading through ManBearPig shit prompted a reality check. once this bunch targeted ENE it was clear the whole idea was to do just what they did, Now we see the endgame. The entire experience was the job, the remains are not important, the minds we touched and enlightened all along the troll droppings trail is the reward, I trust the messages i intended to put out reached the eyes that need to see. Going back and poking the entrails will not be as effective as the next venue that presents it's self to teach at. You do good work Stock, i am sure the fight is still afoot....
ReplyDeleteAnd it's good we documented the gov/nuke trolls as we did and now it is common knowledge that stuff goes on. joust on man!
DeleteYep now ENE is back up.
DeleteAnd just like that ENE is back up
ReplyDeleteSite mirroring in progress.... 19h 34m 2.24Gb.... and counting.
