Are you referring to this Bulletin Board/Forum, when you refer to the VSPA Page?

Bulletin Boards, like this one, are almost extinct. Practically nobody uses them because it is so much easier and more efficient to use Facebook, Instagram and other social media applications.

I was the Webmaster and Bulletin Board Moderator for Safeside's Bulletin Board, until I shut it down, 3 years ago. On an average month, we were getting only 3-4 posts. It wasn't cost effective to keep it running, when it wasn't being used.

People don't stay away from the VSPA Bulletin because of censorship. In fact, I haven't seen any censorship on the BBS. The BBS DOES have rules, which almost every BBS, Facebook Group, Instagram Page or any other social media has. Some rules are needed to keep our BBS "family friendly." Some are needed to ensure we are compliant with IRS guidance on tax-exempt organizations. Some are needed to ensure our Brotherhood is perceived in a positive manner by public visitors here to conduct research or satisfy their curiosity about our War.

As I mentioned, Bulletin Board Systems are becoming extinct. Our BBS is not hosted by VSPA. It is hosted by VOY, at no charge to VSPA. How long VOY will continue in the BBS business is anyone's guess.
