[Janah]

Looking at the posts in 2025 i see mostly 0 replies on most posts .... did people retire from this forum or what happened ? u would get instant replies here before and tons of advice regarding anything.

Since years, most frequent posters got less and less. Partly because one or the other didn't go along with the forums owners, sometimes, strange detours. For example, from presenting Linus Pauling and science, to Medical Medium and mere blind beliefs. However, the life-blood of a forum are critical thinkers from all directions. Only thereby a variety of perspective is presented and interesting discussions ensue. Not a tiny belief bubble of a few. Which, many old-timers and frequent posters, didn't want to fit anymore.

Another huge advantage of forums over social media is gone too. Where one can catch up on old discussions from years ago, and add new contributions. Not, where in an instant it's old already. About a third of old posts have simply disappeared from all old posts. The owner, though wanting to, apparently wasn't able to repair this forum to its former content again. He never bothered to explain why.

All this may not concern infrequent posters asking a question here or there, but lack of answers - which are usually given by frequent posters - will.

So basically it has become fruitless to post here. A user can't discern if post are disappearing due to censorship or a technical unrepairable glitch. This forum will disappear. There are other health forums, still functional.

Thats a shame , guess nothing lasts forever. This forum was the best place ever, a hidden GEM... sad to hear.

Why not re open it again another place where there are no bugs. I'm sure most people would sign up and move over.

Edit : and yeah i took a look at all the older posts and all the replies and advices are gone.... i see what you mean now hopefully big pharma did not buy the owner out and made him censor and remove everything. (i don't want to make accusations but you know how they work)

It is not as easy as that. A forum needs at least some frequent posters, those from this forum long gone you can see here: https://vitamincfoundation.com/forum/me ... memberlist - If you order by 'POSTS' you will see only a handful of members, who answered posts daily. Without those (at least a dozen frequent posting members), doesn't matters how many asking will sign up. They are still don't get answers anymore.
