rob is sound af for keeping this last bastion of free speech open in all honesty
it's one of the last places left on the whole planet where mr horrible is allowed to say anything at all these days without being thrown in jail.

There are limits though, if he starts making Pato Banton jokes he'll be at the bottom of a canal with concrete shoes

Perhaps we need to attract some new blood to /talk and even /board (but not /links).
How are we going to do that? How can we make b3ta appeal to the younger generations, and not just survive on the few creaky old bastards in their 40s and older who haven't managed to escape or die yet?

Apparently the biggest purchasers of vinyl records these days are girls and young women,
I think we just need to hope that noughties-era internet forums are the next big craze. Perhaps we should start making videos about our posts on TikTok.

I forget which year, but Master of Turnips was frequently >1000 at some stage.
I wonder if Easty made something of himself? He showed promise.
