2 Ace, Have you reached out to the folks at The Conservative Treehouse? They totally rebuilt their site after the Tech overlords tried to shut them down. It seems suspicious that you are having so much tech trouble given the preferences of Big Tech

While a complete rebuild may be in order, I suspect it just takes immersion in the interface changes.
I do think a move to another commenting interface like this http://www.maddogdrivethru.net/index.php as a link via posts on a blog could be awesome.

This is the end result of the military leadership allowing democrat service members to have shrines to Obama in their DoD workspaces.
Democrats in leadership positions are now openly holding the White House's occupants and now thanks to "dementia" Vice Presidents as being "different offices" based on their partisan preference.

77 Sven,  That type of bulletin board setup can be fairly intensive demands on server time depending on the number of forums and it can be more demanding as far as moderators due to its multiple forums where a malicious comment can be buried in a folder. 
That being said, I do know that a number of special interest forums use these systems from Ar15.com, practical machinist, etc.  and so on but primarily as a way for the original poster (OP) to discuss an issue with like minded people. 
It would dilute though the general nature of AOS because people would self sort into the folders as they pursue their specific interests.

Back in college, I had a professor who would do short pop quizzes at random. He called them "quizzies."

One toward the beginning of the semester was particularly difficult and a girl said afterward, "If that was a 'quizzie,' I hate to see one of his 'testies.'"

Much snickering ensued.

Sounds like Portland. Portland disbanded its Gun Crime Team or whatever it was called, because it was picking up too many young gangbangers of a certain race. Since then, shockingly, gun crimes have skyrocketed. Now the MENSA-level geniuses on the Portland city council have a foolproof plan to deal with the problem: fund a bunch of unarmed park rangers to talk to the poor dearies. Yep, I can't wait to see this.

CTH has made it pretty clear that they do not want to discuss specifics of what they did in case that trolls and doxxers figure out a way around the security.  They are practicing security through obscurity.  AOS does that as well as I doubt very many places are using Minx, let alone a major political blog. 
Most places with comments are moving to disqus simply to keep from being deplatformed and they let disqus do the dirty work of moderating for them. 
Althouse probably quit allowing comments because she uses a Googul owned company for the host of her blog.  Googul can and has pulled people's blogs hosted by them for wrongthink when leftist activists request it.  They have deplatformed folks without warning.  Those that did not backup all their blog content lost it overnight without much warning that could have had years of posts.

The way around that would be to have multiple subthreads and a gen pop thread. Speaking of "gen Pop" I wrote a story today on the luxurious nature of Swedish Prisons.

Posted by:sven 

Those particular commenting systems are a revised version of Usenet bulletin boards which did not focus so much on a general community but rather to answer specific interests.

I have seen a few that have a general board which is often only populated by the newbies and mods with most of the real posts and discussions taking place in the subforums. Then, there is always the unwelcome splits when a subforum takes off for a new home because of conflicts among the mods.  The major problem with a bbs type commenting system is that it divides people by interests which leaves less space to develop a common community--for example, I pass over commenting on some of the weekend threads but I at least read them usually. If they were in a subforum on cooking for example, I doubt I would worry much about French Toast and syrup conundrums. 

The other biggie is registration which can be an issue for some with sensitive positions that do not want to be doxxed or appear in some registration login database somewhere sold to others. 

Such as system can work and the advantage is that bbs type software already exists but that also means that hackers etc. have already probed these for weaknesses and it demands prompt administrative actions for patches, etc. to be applied daily.  Dunno about pixy's time spent and costs of administering the blog and do not want those facts particularly disclosed on an open forum.

They wouldn't grab him first, they would try to turn him.  FBI clowns would pick a few of the more militant commenters to make an example of, then ask Ace if he wanted to end up like them.
I wouldn't blame him is he went all "Jake Tapper" after that.

The new editor text box inherits formatting. You have two choices to avoid this behavior (which I agree is very annoying).

1. Write your comment *before* pasting in the original comment in front of it. Your text will be default, the formatted text you paste in won't bleed over.

2. Paste without formatting. Right-click and choose "Paste as Plain Text" or press CTRL+SHIFT+V (formatless paste) instead CTRL+V (normal paste).

If anything, CTH was consistently a Q critic of trust the plan types and after Sessions proved to be a dud at the DOJ. Sundance was never crazy about Barr calling him bagpipe Billy and more or less fingered him as a fixer for the Deep State and a compromise for Trump to get rid of the Mueller investigation.

240 Thanks, Jordan. My wife really turned around on guns over the last few years. She never liked them, never grew up around them, etc. A couple trips to the range helped demystify them for her (and she turned out to be a pretty good shot from Day 1). She's the last demographic you'd expect to be a gun owner, a white Academic from relative affluence who until 12 months ago had never even seen a gun fired, never mind firing one herself. Now, I'm sure she won't be bringing the topic up at yoga or book club, but half of those people are probably "secret" gun owners, too.

248 This seems like as good a time as any, given that this is an open thread and there are still numerous formatting questions. Here are some quick tips on formatting in New Pixy.

All tags are in square brackets [ like these ]. All tags are in two parts - the "open" tag and the "close" tag. The open tag is the name of the tag like [ tag ]. The close tag is the name of the tag prefaced by a forward slash like [ /tag ]. Do *not* uses spaces inside a tag or they won't work. The open tag goes before your text and the close tag goes after it.

Specific examples:


Tags appear to be derived from BBcode, though not all are implemented.

253 I just ordered my first weapon. It's a delayed 50th birthday gift from my wife. Settled on a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 Sport II. Bought it off the site that Bonhomme was linking to earlier (thanks Bonhomme). It'll ship from TX and be here in 2-3 weeks. Now I've got to grab some ammo and buy a membership at the range and I will truly be on of the Deplorables. Posted by: Lincolntf
You should like it as it has low recoil.  Do yourself a favor though and buy 8-10 of the 30 round AR magazines (or as high as you can get in some states now) now as those are a wear and tear item and might be restricted in the future to something like ten rounds. 
If you like metal mags, Brownells and OKAY Industries are good sources and are military approved for purchase.  If you like polymer, Magpul PMAGs, Troy Industries, and Lancer, among others make good ones. If you do go polymer, some of the makers of AR mags have metal support on the feed lips of the magazines which is a bit better if you like to keep them loaded, PMAG get the Gen 2 if you want the dust cover included but you can buy them for the Gen 3 in order to take the load off the mag springs if you keep the mags loaded.  Gen 3 has a bit different geometry and works in other rifles besides the AR-15 due to STANAG compatibility. 
One other thing, AR's like to be run wet on lube as issued.

254 An off the topic question, but I thought this group might have an answer. Rep. Alcee Hastings passed away. That brings the Dems down to 217 in the House I believe. I think there are 211 Republicans right now with 6 vacancies. Of the 6, I think at least 3 or 4 favor Republicans. For the sake of argument, let's say all 6 do. That would make the House 217-217. I don't know what happens when a Rep. passes away in FL. Special election? Governor appointment? Is it conceivable the House could flip before 2022?I also had wondered this in the unlikely scenario that a Republican wins the California governor's runoff and then Feinstein has to retire (she is 87 or 88 I believe?). The new GOP guv appoints a Republican and the Senate flips back to the GOP. Can this happen? Has it ever happened before Congressional elections?

273 Thanks for the info., Whig. I fired one nearly identical to the one I just ordered when I was in Kentucky last week. I fired a bunch of others, but I think this model reminded me of the M16A2 the most, the only weapon (apart from rocket artillery) that I've ever really been trained on. Felt pretty familiar, so I figured that was a good a reason as any to pick it.

274 Thanks, 4 by Pigeon. I used a scope on a 6.72 rifle last week, for the first time. I hit a half-silhouette at 438 yards with my second shot. Let's not talk about the other 11 rounds I fired...

275 I debating whether to buy an AR which I saw at a local gun shop this weekend. I don't have an AR, and between living in CA and moving around I haven't had the money until now to buy one.

I don't know where you guys get the money to shoot actual bullets.  I just point the gun and say "bang".
