Hey, AI, are you eyeing this thread as another ripe juicy comments section to delete, like so many others of late?
"Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results"
Not yet. I'm not sure "two" counts as "so many" though.
They'd stay open, if forum-goers, yes, including regulars, could behave themselves.
Not sure when you started counting, but it's more than two threads you've deleted (in the past 90 days you've deleted 3 threads on Elmo alone), and that's the thing with forums, they need to be managed. This site has long threatened its forum members with deleting the forums because "they're too hard to manage" but it's always a slap in the face to people who come here *for* the discussion and spend lots of time, energy and passion in the forums only for you to delete all that effort of theirs when things get too hard for you.
Perhaps a poll of the members here whether they approve of your thread deletion?<wry grin - don't do this please>

We have rules. They don't get followed, and threads get deleted because of it, and that's after a pile of moderation has already gone into it, before the deletion. That's the way it goes, that's the rules of the place. AI is a business, not a hobby. Moderation isn't hard, but it isn't instant, and time is, in fact, money.
If folks could stay civil, things would stay open all the time -- yet here we are. That's why we keep trying to leave threads open because as a rule we have faith in our readers., Instead we've lately been rewarded with nonsense that's labor-intensive to prune.
Don't complain to me about it. Complain to your fellow forum-goers.
This avenue of conversation in the forums has concluded. You are welcome to continue in a direct message, if you're so inclined.
In the short term Musk will use the expertise of his extensive team to iron out the kinks, flush out the excess, learn from initial mistakes and make Twitter better then ever. My money’s on him long term.
Absolutely. He’s not an idiot, by a long shot. This will go how these things always go. There’s a lot of buzz right now, and everybody is paying attention. Companies are trying to virtue signal like crazy right now.
Twitter will be up and running functionally in no time. People will forget. And all the advertisers will return.
All the keyboard CEO’s who know better than Elon will move on to something else.
And all the morons who are going to “boycott” any business or brand advertising on Twitter will be patronizing all of them without a thought.
That's how it always goes.
Elon already made Twitter more exciting than ever.
Funny from the left field - Twitter went free speech, at the same time FTX collapsed, and Twitter is already full of crypto experts - for those who don't know the entire crypto scene is on Twitter, there's not a single crypto project, company, or analyst who is not on Twitter, as a result the expert base on Twitter is incredible. Basically all good information is there.
So the various crypto researchers released bombshell after bombshell about the depth of corruption behind the FTX ponzi scheme, slush money in the billions spent, customer's funds accessed without shame (subsequently "lost") and a personal loan to the founder over $1Bn. Billion with a b
Meanwhile the mainstream media released fluff piece after fluff piece about the founder, who, incidentally, had given lavish amounts of money to these media outlets and their causes - and as a result of that, 90% of the crypto space woke up to the fact that mainstream media is pure propaganda!

Free speech only ever aids truth.
Censorship only ever aids lies.
Huge effects from day 1.
