Some years ago a lady member of WP did just that.

She was perpetually angry person who got SO pissed off that she left this site and started her own aspie website. It was patterned exactly like this one. Same subforums. Same layout. Minor changes in look. She was angry about the oppressive politically correct rules of this site, but admitted that she even had to impose pretty much the same rules on her new site. :lol:

I was a member for a while until it got too dead for me. A number of both refugees banned from this site and other still active members of this site like me would also visit that site. But like I said it petered out before long. Cant recall her name now. Or the sites name either.

Anyway its probably pretty easy to start a forum of your own.

Hah, reality bites - some sort of ruleset governing behavior is a must.
That might have been OliveOilMom - she started her own forum.

phpBB is also very easy to set up and use: https://www.phpbb.com/
Their whole site is using it, showing what can be done - just not here...

I just looked to see if her forum is still going but it doesn't look like it is.

So instead of a POC forum or an LBTQ forum she created an angry white lady forum?

:lol:

Well...it was a forum founded BY an angry White female (she was certainly as angry as she was White and female). For...refugees from "political correctness" (they didnt use the term 'woke' yet). And it did have at least one (White male) guy who had been banned from WP for bad behavior of some kind. So she probably did envision it as a forum for angry aspies (who would happened to be White of either gender).

But she would post things like "here is my new set of non-rule rules" because apparently the contradiction was becoming inescapable to her that running a forum requires rules (and escaping rules was the whole reason for founding the site).

Is there some reason why some of you laugh at the idea of 'angry white ladies' who take initiative, or why you seem to think it's funny her forum didn't succeed, or am I missing something related to Fairfield's comment about misogyny on WP?

I think a national vote-by-mail system should be created just to make sure everyone has the right to vote.

I think people who have multiple DUIs on their records should have their licenses revoked.
