You guys know that I guess I could be more proactive about removing junk posts that don't add to the thread's worthiness .....as a starting point for cleaning up the "distractions".


If you all would quit the pissing contests there really wouldn't be much to distract you.

I already make it so you don't see blatant spam.....like sex toys, viagra, and call girls. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I stepped away a while back because I was banned yet again. I'm hoping the problem is being solved.

you seem to be okay. there are some who show up as before, but their avatars are missing. yours is there in full view.

maybe that's a good sign!

Me - I still can't login without using a VPN.
Same error as I reported above.

Almost three months on - still blocked. Still having to use a VPN.
Imagine all those people who may have learned of the forum and are possibly blocked and don't know about using VPN.
Nobody at the company who created this forum seems to care. But, then it's no longer the same company. (Google and you'll see who bought them).

Check their "Resources" link. cpaptalk is not even mentioned. :(

And yes, I am purposely not mentioning the company's name.

It seems like the days of this forum are numbered. I've seen so many others disappear. Anything that is grassroots, and thus does not serve the financial interests of somebody "special", gets shut down and replaced by AI-driven madhouse cesspools. :x

I don't think that mentioning the name of the "holding company" that made the acquisition, or the "global investment firm" which financed it will precipitate the demise of this forum - they are too busy buying and controlling everything that matters to us, not just businesses but natural resources, and now some human ones: business people, politicians, and soon our own souls.

Maybe we should start a poll - "how long until everything in America is owned by a single person?"

I hope we don't let them!
