thanks baker
one more time for Anon consideration + probably nothing but looks like maybe comms.
Catholic Answers Forum closes for good December 31
>>12273496 [PB] (url here)
>>12273666 [PB] (request for notables consideration)
Anon from [PB] pointed out this announcement from Catholic Answers Forum regarding their indefinite closing because Anon thinks they might be comms. Anon then looked over them to see what might be seen. You couldn't hang a priest on anything found here, but it still smells fishy to me…
Here's what stands out:
[date / time included in announcement]
>12-31-2020 5:00:00 PM PT = 17:00:00 PT = 20:00:00 ET
-=- fortuitous numerals for patriotic numberfags
>Limited resources
-=- supply running dry?
>Return on investment
-=- no longer worth it to be so close to the surface (clearnet)?
>"good" is interpreted subjectively
-=- discounts GOD's view of what is good (scripture is ineffable, not the word of any Pope, amen?)
>Some find them [ Catholic Answers Forums] … addictive
-=- what else might be addictive?
>some of the content better suited to private spiritual direction and
-=- The shit they might be comms-ing about?
>sacramental confession
-=- Also goes by sacrament of forgiveness, Sacrament of Reconciliation, sacrament of conversion, and sacrament of Penance. When capitolized, Sacrament refers to the Eucharist (consuming the body + blood of Christ [the innocent])
>inconclusive value of forums
-=- ^see ROI
>cost in financial resources to host, operate, …, govern…
-=- I haven't really looked too hard into the costs. Is it really THAT costly to manage something like this? Wouldn't there be volunteers to help moderate forums? This sounds far fetched to me. Is it only me?
>can no longer justify the effort
-=- ^see ROI
-=- ALSO - to "justify" can mean to excuse one's actions, or to dismiss the real impact of them
>attempt to draw
-=- like blood?
>even a tenth
-=- clear reference to tithe. (100% belongs to Christ. 10% is often used to manipulate his sheep)
>of what they cost to operate through patronage was not successful
-=- feels like: hey, sorry to all you lower level pre-verts out there who were coming to us for your supply. The well is running dry, and we got overhead. Kick rocks, junkie.
>we need to make the best use we can of the gifts that
-=- we only have enough for us. (^see Junkie)
>donors to Catholic Answers give us to spread the Catholic Faith
-=- donors, like organs?
That's all I got for now.
