Hello Fellow SAV members, For some time now I've been posting messages inviting some discussion about the future of this site. With the departure of HCAMan about two months ago it's no secret that the pace of new postings has slowed to just a trickle. With no new postings the site loses it's 'vitality' even though there is still plenty of good commentary happening. (Do we really want to comment on Laura Loomer forever?) I've also had a look at Site Traffic and here is what it currently shows for the last three months: The original founders of the site seem to be no longer very engaged with it. Understandable as people do get burnt out on hunting down new material to post. One issue with the above is that the site was never well designed as a social media site. Posts disappear after a day or two as they get pushed further and downwards and you'd have to scroll forever to find one. Also, many people have developed semi-friendships on this site but there is no way to even send a private message. We don't even have a way of contacting some of the people who left, inviting them back. So in an attempt to start some discussiona around this topic, here are a couple of ideas: Add a couple of new mods who can at the very least re-post some profiles from HCA. Of course even these will start to slow down at some point, since the pandemic has largely receded. Allow some profiles other than just anti-vaxxers, since half the discussion here is on political topics. Or possibly consider moving away from Wix hosting:  Or, start a new discussion on a place like Reddit where we can have mods, pin posts, search posts, send a private message Start a new site that is more social-media based, and would include all of the current community of like-minded people. This would require a bit of work, and two or more people getting together to start it off. And it would also need a substantial number of SAV-ers to join. However for the above to happen, we need to have broad agreement on it. Otherwise we just end up with a site with a few members who then leave within a month because nobody else is there. So there we are. I just wanted to try to get the ball rolling on this discussion to see if it's possible to come to any agreement on what (if anything) should happen.
