It took the MAGA board openly celebrating a literal terroristic coup to get it closed down. And the users doing it mostly didn't even get banned.
So no, StormFAQs isn't going to do anything.

Well at least it's not entirely a circle jerk on that board because you do have people arguing against them.

This.

This old site full of fossils needs to keep as many users as it can, even if it means being lenient on the far-right propaganda that has seeped its roots into geek culture.

People had to literally petition Allen to close the MAGA board after they cheered on an insurrection, and he put those people in time out for a couple of weeks and gave them another board.

He completely and totally supports them.

Don't forget literally nothing happened to gwwak (to the point where he still has his original board) despite his refusal to properly moderate the MAGA board helping to lead to that shit.

You understand trolling about those things, and genuinely believing those things are different right? I like playing a moronic character here, I get laughs out of it. I made it clear on numerous occasions under my old name that Im playing a gimmick and trolling, but for some reason, even though I purposely played the most moronic character I can play, people still had an issue. I still play a moronic character, just on the other side of the spectrum. Hopefully I wont have to break character again to explain this stuff

It's not invite only, anyone is free to post view the board and post there unless the board owner has blacklisted you because you offended him in some way (I am blacklisted for example).

They do not brigade other boards or websites as far as I'm aware.

It was at one point a fairly nice board with discussion about gaming, movies, music etc, but then all the Maga board regulars (including most of the leftists as well) ended up taking refuge there and turned the board into maga 2.0 with constant, largely unmoderated political discussion, as the board owner only moderates blatant ToS posts, or any posts about religion or sex.

Are they supporting terrorism? Openly I mean, not just supporting Trump (Who absolutely is responsible for the terrorist attack of 1/6, but isn't "officially" a terrorist. Unfortunately).

If they're just being your standard fare shitlords, them let em. But if they're outright supporting terrorist attacks them yeah nuke the board.

Also yes it's a shame that many of those users from the maga board are still around. Being supportive of 1/6 should have resulted in am easy permanent ban.

honestly Allen's response to all that was disgraceful. he tried to spin some "we were just trying to allow both sides of the discussion, we had no idea this would happen!" garbage. pathetic dude

lol why wouldn't they? It's probably like 2 buttons on the Admins' end to Suspend you from a submitted feedback form.

We all saw how Allen responded to that MAGA Board poll topic, could you imagine if the user base made him do work emptying the feedback queue?
