So where are they and what are they up to?

I have to say, the "neighboring forum" (as you call it—aren’t we allowed to name it here on VF?) is way more active these days than VF... Unfortunately, VF was closed for too long, and in my opinion, it’s started to feel a bit outdated...

Don’t tell me the thousand participants recruited... on VF suddenly got younger 😎
But where are they and what are they doing?
Djackx67 · 2025-05-01 · Message 603 of 648
Not the participants, but the site itself... or maybe it’s because the closure reminds me of the awful COVID period, and the fact that we’ve moved from one world to another with VF closed in between makes me feel like I’ve kind of moved on from this site...
But personally, I have to say that the numerous criticisms toward the founder of VF’s stance on COVID policy—coming from travel lovers and therefore freedom advocates—really surprised me... borderline shocked me.
So, me who used to visit this site daily before it closed... now I only stop by from time to time...

When people get scared, you can make them swallow just about anything. And then, both the old and the young seem to have lost their ability to think.

What, is there a new virus?
But where are they and what are they doing?
Attila · 2025-05-01 · Message 607 of 648
Yes.
It’s way worse than the last one.
The first symptom is an overwhelming urge to ramble. 😮

No worries, anyway, it’s our age 😛

What you're saying is interesting. I might sound like a broken record, but I'll definitely come back to this...
What really surprised me was his complete "turnaround." He'd made a biting remark about my criticism of how strictly the lockdown was managed, and then a few months later, he seemed to do a total 180, taking positions I found completely unreasonable—especially when it came to vaccination...

Hi,
What you’re saying is interesting. I might sound like a broken record, but I’ll definitely come back to this… What surprised me was his complete "turnaround." He’d made a biting remark about my criticism of how strictly the lockdown was managed, and then a few months later, he seemed to do a total 180, taking positions I found completely unreasonable, especially when it came to vaccination…
Moderation seemed to have multiple voices during the lockdowns.

He’s much worse than the last one.
The first symptom is a furious urge to ramble on.😮
Hilarious

Hey, are you going to close this discussion because it’s taking up too much server space—that’s my question?

You shouldn't be asking me that.

Oops, I thought that was your job.
Mea culpa then

What a funny idea! 🤪

Thanks everyone for joining in. It was really informative and a whole lot of fun.
Such a shame the main no-shows didn’t say anything.

What a shame the main absentees didn’t speak up.
Good evening, haha, that’s a good one! 🙂
How can absentees speak up when they’re absent?
The moment those so-called absentees log on, they’re no longer absent.
Anyway, it’s the old chicken-and-egg question.

I feel rewarded when I’ve managed to make someone laugh in a day; that was the goal, after all. 😇
Oh, the egg and the chicken—that was my dad’s argument for justifying the existence of God. The Brothers made him swallow that one 😎 back in the day between two whacks with a wooden stick as punishment for mistakes and sins. True, a nail only goes into wood properly if you hit it hard.

hi, what do you mean by "the brothers"?

Those from the Most Holy Catholic Church, at the boarding school of the Saint Joseph Institute in Matzenheim, run at that time by the Brothers of Christian Doctrine.
Even though he especially loved Edith Piaf, they got it into their heads to teach him how to play the piano. Every failed attempt ended with a ruler smack on his fingers. I don’t know if the ruler wore out, but they eventually gave up in the face of such a lack of talent. That’s the only thing he ever wanted to tell me about it.
Okay, did you read what I heard right?
