Banned from green issues

No. The problem is that you believe that these issues are a scam, therefore by your own admission you believe that the Green Issues forum shouldn't even exist. So you're never going to be able to participate in the type of discussion that the Green Issues forum exists for.

Imagine a born-again christian who believed that Islam was the source of all evil and should be eradicated, posting on the Islam forum. Do you think they'd be welcome?

You're basically asking to post on a forum which you don't want to exist. Your contributions therefore cannot be constructive.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

And where should I post my views on this issue?

Very true, but a 6 page (so far) long thread started by you looking to be unbanned which isn't going to happen is pointless and a waste of webspace

Well delete all the celebrity and sport forums, that should leave plenty of room at the inn.

I'm the one who can overrule Mods and unban you.

There is nothing you have said that convinces me you have anything to offer that forum, or indeed this site. You're attitude stinks and you are insulting and abrasive.

Well I would admit, environment issues would be a distant second to aliens from planet X.

You don't need it to set up a website. You just need money.

Dear God what is it with the youth of today?

I was not refering to money. There are other forms of backing that are required long before funding enters the equation.

No, it's called tunnel vision and it's not always the most effective way of doing things.

I'm intrigued though. I didn't think boards.ie had any government backing so...

Haven't they been brainwashed into providing entertainment for us against their feline nature?

Have you tried applying the the department of internet memes for lolcat funding? It's impossible, way too much red tape. By the time I get my lolcat funding we'd have moved on to a new internet meme. :rolleyes:

Well take a small mickey mouse website generating a couple of thousand hits a day. This is no big deal, no matter what the content on the site the exposure is very limited when you consider a world wide population of around 6.7 billion.

However as you progress to website such as boards.co.uk or boards.ie you encounter internet traffic on a larger scale. Then you go to the top 100 most popular websites on the internet, a different league again.

The point is that various outside parties start to take an interest in things if your website content were to begin recieving massive exposure. Problems can then arise if the site content were to cause conflicts of interest in terms of the macro picture. Censorship, and this may not be the correct term would follow.

Forum site are a notorious huning grounds for agencies gathering information about general perceptions in relation to many issues. At a very basic level you could even plan a campaign and study the effectiveness by analysing viewing figures on various topics. Look at the BBC "have your say" section, I wish I could post an admission I had from a bbc administrator.

This still doesn't explain why you need government funding to set up a website.

So, your argument is that once you get too popular, "The Man" will notice you and shut you down? Isn't that all a bit, I don't know, "crazy"?

Basically, you're saying that you'd like to tell the people that the Government is fooling them, but you can't tell anyone because the Government won't support you in telling the people that the Government is doing wrong? I don't think I've ever seen a perfectly circular conspiracy theory before.

Yeah, it's a big conspiracy. You should make a thread for it in the Green Issues forum.

I did not say you needed funding, I said you need backing.

Fair enough, but that still doesn't explain why you need government backing to set up a website.

Please, explain what government backing is needed in setting up a website.

Not shut you down, guide you. Once again people are underestimating the forces at work here.
