The old forum, not this one. The promise of that, and the crudeness and arbitrariness involved, is why this board came into being.

There was a link in the email if you wanted to unsubscribe. When I clicked it Firefox blocked it and said you are about to log in to momoboard. com with username support but
the site does not require authentication authentication. This may be an attempt to trick you. Do you still want to log in?

So I decided to take the "No" Option FF offered instead of going any further.

I asked to be unsubscribed from momo once I saw on here that it is a big pile of scheit.
I immediately got banned.
I'm ok with that. I'd rather be here with all of you.

I feel like I may have missed a memo somewhere. What exactly is/was the deal with Momo? I know that it was the "official" new replacement AGF, and when I went to look at it I thought it was a wretched interface, in which opinion I do not seem to be alone, but was there something else about it that makes it particularly offensive?

Turns out Major Tom and Momo guy were working on the sale/handover for months behind the scenes, then in one day with no warning announced it was a done deal. Never offered the board members a chance to buy it from Tom. Folks looked up momo and saw it appeared to be a sketchy app at best, targeting information harvesting. Then some of us signed up to give it look. Most were more turned off by the platform than even you suggest.

Then we began working on alternatives, Patrick got out word he was building this place, and some members began sending PMs to other members to let them know we could meet up here.

It appears to be a Chinese owned app.
The new "AGF" forum on Momo was a complete train wreck.

"Let the word go forth from this time and place that the torch of freedom has been passed to a NEW generation of AGFers!" :)
