I HATE the Internet
« on: March 13, 2026, 11:45:27 PM »
Everything on the Net (not GBO, though some parts can be) is geared for deception, theft, and corruption. With AI programs pressing themselves as safe transactions, it seems to me about a third want Usernames, Passwords, and security data you wouldn't tell your grandmother in a whisper at midnight.  It is suspicious!

AI applications, on one hand, offer the latest and greatest security, while the other AI hand seems to be trying to get into your financial pocket ringing my security bell.  How do we get non-corrupt and straight NEWS and AI talk back we can trust?

It is a lot like establishing trust with a new GBO App user. Once their post count reaches a pre-set level, they remain suspecous but somewhat more believable.

Anyone know why I don't have access to the first group of threads when I open GBO? Like the political thread, round the ole pot bellied stove, etc.. The only way I can access this is by opening the "show unread posts since last visit"   the rest of the forum categories I can see.

            Some times it is the browser you are using.
            I cannot post articles on Greybeard from Firefox but can from Microsoft; that just started approx. a week ago.

We haven't changed anything here. If something has changed it's on your end, either your browser or your internet connection. Matt doesn't have spare time to do anything here much less change it for less access for members.

I got a PM from the moderator of the political forum (mw Hunter) about the time this started. It was titled "Through with forum"  It also said email me, and it had his personal email included. I emailed him, and sent him a pm asking what this means. That was two days ago, and have not got a response. Just wondering if this was intended for me, since it was sent in a PM.  I have been using chrome for a good while and I changed nothing that I know of, and never have had this problem since I joined in 2009. 

The first block of threads that include the political issues, round the ole pot bellied stove, todays news, religious section etc are not there or viewable at all. The complete rest of the forum threads are viewable.
