On a mobile device, when I hit the "Egghead Forum" banner, it no longer takes me to the latest discussions landing. It goes to the Egghead Forum only. I.e. no off-topic in the latest discussions. Is that just my settings got messed up, or is the buffalo playing dirty now?

    Everything, for me, is on the main page *except* the "Off Topic" in the full desktop version.  That's all I use, even on my phone.  I hate the new format.

    That is all I use too.  I guess the @The_Buffalo flexed on me.

    It's probably because all the snowflakes that lose their minds because they see something political in the off-topic threads constantly b!tch to the moderator.  There's a "report" flag that sends a message to the moderator.   I'm fairly certain this election put some people over the edge.

    Don't click on the All_Forums link on the right of the page or logout on desktop version. I did both as a test and Off topic threads no longer display for me. I created a bookmark for the OT threads I follow and added them to my reading list so I don't have to hunt for WAYDRN thread.

    Yeah this sucks. Why would they go and hide the What Are You Doing Right Now Thread? That's where most of the cooks get posted here on the forum.

    True, but do they really want to see pulled pork, ribs, brisket, and chicken posts over and over?

    Yes.  I think so.  I honestly think that would draw in more people.  They might mostly be lurkers - but it would probably play better than the shenanigans we pull most days where we look like an insular club that likes to run off a lot of newbies - especially if you ask about cooking a 1/2" steak.

    All they have to do is ban a few people who lead the way with the shenanigans and it would come to a halt pretty quick. All of the other followers would step aside. Problem I see is the moderator doesn’t step up to the plate and moderate. They just nuke threads day after day for violating the rules. On most any other forum the moderators moderate and keep control of the forum. Not sure why they don’t do that here. Has there been anyone banned since grillsgt?

    They should fire the moderator for even letting that one pass in the first place.

    I’m not sure you can fire someone who is so clearly working for free.

    I think “forum moderator” is way down on the list of responsibilities this person has. Something tells me this was an add-on to their job description. 
    Most forums have moderators who “work” certain days to keep things under control; Like a rotation.

    As a lurker some of the stuff was really funny and kept me coming back to read it and why I waited for over a month to get approved once I decided to become a card carrying member.  I use Reddit for my serious BBQ stuff and BBQ Brethren.  This place is different and like the Wild Wild West with liberals in charge.  I kind of like it.  Hope it stays weird, like Austin.

    Some of the best threads are not Egg related.  The fermenting thread and the charcuterie thread come to mind.

    You think the person(s) moderating this forum is working for free? That would surprise me. 

    Way down on the list? Why does that matter? How long does it take to zap a few boneheads who repeatedly abuse the rules? 

    Just my take. Not looking to argue.
