Admin said they would reopen on a trial basis. Can't you read between the lines. If not it means given a reasonable length of time if posters can demonstrate that they can have discussion in a civil manner we will proceed forward with additional features.
Please I want the opportunity to have cogent and unemotional conversation about what is going on around the world
So guest please control yourself and be patient and understanding because its Admin's call based on your performance and mine
Personal Best Regards:

Perhaps you don't understand the busine$$ aspect of these various discussion websites (TOTV, etc…) The discussion forums are similar to television programming in that they draw viewers/posters. This traffic is counted and then used to establish advertising rates. TOTV exists as a business to sell ads…period. TOTV is heavy on ads, classifieds, contractors, etc…and quite thin on traffic and discussion, due in my opinion, to their heavy-handed moderation. But hey, it's their site and they can run it into the ground if they want.
Your post sounds as if you're confused who's the benefactor of this discussion traffic. There are thousands of discussion forums out there that are lively and full of intelligent discourse. When you log on here you see what… (2 viewing, etc…) When the traffic count drops too low, the ad revenue no longer supports the cost of maintaining the site. I rarely post here because the discussion is not lively and the moderation strangulating.
