Where did Creative Speculation forum go?

[Hotler]

where would I post thoughts about preparing and stocking up for the possibility of a Fascist dictatorship., insurrection Act, martial law, etc.. Store shelves, ATM's, fuel supplies will empty fast. I'm not trying to start trouble, just nudge people that this is a very real possibility and to think about stocking up before the last minute. get your TP early folks

1. Appears that it's been retired.

I was able to find it with the Search function.

2. For some reason, that forum was one of those retired with the launch of DU4. Nt

3. I'm glad you brought this up....

...I understand a lot of folks will not want this discussed for whatever their reasons may be. But for those who risk becoming immediate targets of the mob that we know is itching to hurt us, and on a broader scale, for those of us who are not in denial about how bad things really could get if trump somehow takes the white house again, I think it would be wise to start thinking through some possible decisions we might have to make.

5. +1. I think we need a forum or a continuing thread for preparing in the event of a fascist dictatorship.

It doesn't hurt to be prepared or plan early, we're 1-yr away from election. If you thought supply shortages and empty shelves were bad during covid, wait for martial law and the insurrection Act.

4. Well, think about throwing a "Friday Creative Speculation" thread in GD

Or the lounge, not sure where creative falls on the discussion spectrum. You could choose the topic, hopefully they don't all revolve around survival TP : )

6. Here are all the retired forums, a very substantial list indeed:

This doesn't answer your question about where Creative Speculation went, or for that matter, where any of the retired forums went (the bit bucket in almost all or all cases), but it's a very interesting list that I had not seen or heard of until yesterday.

Edited to add: It's also handy to pare down one's list of subscribed forums, to reduce the size of it. I unsubscribed from the two on my subscription list that were retired, to make it shorter.
