FB is the only way to let our audience know where and when we are playing. I don't really give a shit if he has my info or not. Everybody else does.

@Sticks48 I've seen that meme and it surprises me, too. It would be interesting to know if the OP was banned.

I'm required to have an account for one of my jobs, and I have a couple of closed groups I enjoy, so I have other FB accounts to fall back on. But I enjoy your posts, so I hope the board speaks Monty Python, and understands you were the victim of vindictiveness.

@Lauren Maybe I should open another account. I like the name Lorenzo Benito. What do you think?

@Sticks48 I think it suits you. But if you decide it doesn't, you can always open another.

@Lauren That was my plan. Benton is my middle name so I thought the Italian version sounded kind of cool.

@Sticks48 Being Italian is very cool, Lorenzo. Did you know that when the majority of people choose aliases, they pick names with the same initials as their real names?

@Lauren Easier to remember?

@Sticks48 Perhaps. I like creating different personas. It's kind of like dressing up in costumes.

I think you have something there. I was responding to an anti-vaxxer who was bragging for purely political reasons. I responded, "You are STUPID." Yep, the word in caps. That was it. No threat, just an opinion. Prior there to, I had been suspended for 7 days because I had suggested I had the right to use a real Florida law entitled, "Stand Your Ground" that gives me the right to shoot someone if I feel threatened.

@ChurchLess of course if you weren't a nice person you could always return the favor.

I changed my posts to friends only. Now my posts are discussed instead of attacked. If I want to engage in political debate with the Nazis, I just respond to some of my right wing senators posts.

Hi there. What kind of posts would one have to make in order to have their account deleted?

@Ryo1 I deleted my account.

Doesn't he make his money from ads? They are non existent here.

@Lorajay I am working on the assumption that Admin, or someone, pays him rent for the space.

@Fernapple Internet space is offered by many different companies. The format is similar to Facebook but many different companies offer forum type software so there may not even be an involvement with the software. I'm pretty sure someone who knows what they're doing can find out who they're getting the web space from and the software as well.

@Lorajay I was told that the web space and software both came from FB, when I first joined. May not be true, but I see no reason to doubt it.

@Fernapple I asked my IT savvy son to check it out and he says it appears that their software is self-made using free and universally available tools. They are hosted on the Amazon Cloud. Facebook provides their own web space host.

As advertised the owner of the name is private but they might be from Arizona.

@Lorajay Yes possibly but do you know that this site is not renting some of FB's space. If not who is the web host.

@Fernapple the web host is Amazon Cloud.

@Lorajay Oh great well done.

@Lorajay its easy you rent servers and they come with maintenance so you really never have to do anything and if you start a dating sight they sell fake profiles to get you started

@whiskywoman @Lorajay

Fun fact: the federal government, including the CIA, is Amazon Web Services' largest client. Edward Snowden interviews are always so illuminating.

@Fernapple I don't think that this website is costing this person and arm and a leg. Up until 3 years ago I had a website on glass from the depression era. It had a forum that had nine years of questions and pictures in it and a gallery with almost 20,000 pictures in it. The total cost for a year was around $600 and most of that was because the need for web space kept growing. I paid for everything out of love for the first three or four years then other people just donated. Towards the end I was making about $400 a year from Googlea ads in the gallery. Software updates to the forum software began to give me headaches Plus I'm human and I lost interest so I gave it to the West Virginia museum of American Glass and thankfully they took it.

I'm saying all this because it's very likely that the person that started this website has just lost interest but if they don't do software updates it should probably walk along for a long time without problems. I can't be mad at someone that's giving me something then just leaves me alone.

@Lorajay Yes I agree, and am certainly not mad with anyone, I think that this site is wonderful, and now that you tell me there is no conection to FB my last reservation is gone.
