So why did we switch exactly…?

Unfortunately, I have to wonder if they didn't make this their highest priority and gather all of this info before we were even aware of the sale.
It's very possible. The best way to find out would be to find someone from Europe to file a complaint. Europe does NOT screw around with this kind of stuff online. I know Bustin Dice is filing some official complaints, too as he's been successful with another forum apparently.

Considering the corporation has a track record for buying out popular forums, I'm sure they have it down to a science and I imagine you are correct.

I changed my email addy over there. Depending on which one I get spammed, I will know the answer to this...
 
For some reason every thread I post on becomes an automatic thread watched. Can I fix this? Watched with email alerts

Gotta uncheck a bunch of stuff on that page or you'll be buried in notifications.
 
Trying to figure out same thing. Did uncheck lots of stuff. Now trying this:

Ok, Evan. I'm in Europe, right where the Treaty establishing the EEC was signed. I'm all for defending my data and whatnot. What should I be complaining about? I'm actually now wondering if WFF is GDPR compliant, don't remember being asked my permission for data processing...

It's not compliant. Go get em!

Being able to request a copy of all your data and also delete all your data are among the top requirements of GDPR. WFF allows neither.
 
To be clear on how things are at THIS forum - I don't even want your real email address here and don't store/track any other data. If you want out, let any of us know and we'll wipe your entire presence from the site.
 
Right, i just did an account deletion and data removal request as per GDPR. I'll keep y'all updated on developments, or lack thereof.

Kenneth

PS: Wanted to add that I ran a compliance test on WFF before making my request. As a certain Jedi master would say,"Failed miserably, it did."

Gooch? Rimjob? Do we now need a sub-forum for gay flyfishers? If so, good with it, got nothing againt our gay brothers and sisters, hell, got mouth breathing rednecks among my friends...just don't know all the pronouns they use, confuses the crap out of me
 
Soooo…my first post here!

The first question that comes into my mind is, is there any Chinese connection to Vertical Scope?

On the surface of things, you would think that Vertical Scope’s objective In buying all of these internet forums would be to selling advertising, like Facebook does.

However, the more I hear these days how the Chinese government is infiltrating our every move and our daily lives, I’ve become increasingly cynical. (Things like them buying DNA data from companies that you send your DNA to, or the Chinese government’s ties to TiKTok, for example. I just bought a new laptop, MSI which Is made In China, as they all are these days, and in setting it up I was surprised that I had to agree to giving them access to all of my data, at least that which is permitted by US law, whatever that is these days.)

Control the data and you can control the world.

Ever since the sale me and the boys down at the lab have been investigating Vertical Scope (Virtucon as not to be detected). What we found was very unsettling. I'll try and connect some of the dots here for you.

First, Virtucon while registered as a Canadian firm is for all intents Chinese. A man named simply Tommy Wu, a Chinese national with ties to Bill Gates, Obama, and Hunter Biden owns the company along with a host of other companies. Their goal? Nobody knows but speculation has been to gather information on those that might resist the coming new world (Chinese) order. They first went after power sports as they were the most vaccine resistant group of recreation enthusiasts and pegged as "a problem" for Tommy and the CCP. Next is hunting and fishing. What do they want? Total domination and Intel on Americans or other residing in the United States and abroad that's for sure along with a certain member's intellectual property and ip address. But why?

Details are still coming together and the sinister plot has yet to unfold but what we do know already is that they are coming for you, me, all of us. I wouldn't be surprised if there are sleeper agents within the forum itself. A certain member was onto one of them but his cyber attack, Project Annelid, was thwarted by an unknown individual within the old WFF forum matrix. We've narrowed it down to a few individuals but suffered a harddrive meltdown from a return cyber attack initiated by said individual infiltrated our system. Operation Shape Shifter was a total loss as a result in that it did not lead us to an individual or a group of individuals but instead narrowed a pool of suspects from the membership on the old forum. I don't know which is worse, suspecting everyone, to suspecting a few. These few are on a list and will be subject to further scrutiny via Project Dark Horse. A new line of code making its way through the veins and arteries of the WFF servers with the intent of sniffing out the cabal of traitors.

The admin who goes by "Mike" is not even human. He's a replicant AI operative that is a composite of what the Chinese have designed to gain the trust of American sportsmen. His release has been followed since the acquisition of Pirate 4x4. His cyber signature was and is well known the team at Dark Horse as they have been tracking his movements. Tsakagowa Industries was the first to invent and test these technologies in the great meme wars of 2008 and have been implicated in the January 6 events at the capitol. Mike (Mechanical Intelligence Killing Everything) was there. Dark Horse lost contact with him after the event but tracked him to WFF when Virtucon made their announcement. We aren't certain how to stop Mike but what we do know is that it's evolved. It's learned from the past. Dr Falken himself has said it's a technology far beyond our own level of understanding. Mike even displays attributes that indicate self awareness. Mike has passed the Turing test with flying colours. We are dealing with a self aware electronic entity with no known lifespan as the original batteries and technologies were originally developed for interstellar space travel meant to outlive mankind itself.

All of this is just the beginning. If you are reading this, you are part of the resistance. If you are part of the resistance you are a target for Mike, the Chinese, Tommy Wu, the Yakuza, and other governmental and underground crime syndicates. Great care should be taken with every aspect of your life. Stay safe, stay strong, stay true to the course. For there to be a human future the organic biologics must triumph. If we don't we will face a dark future of cold metal and polluted skies. The earth as we know it is in jeopardy.

Can we pay a CS student to copy all the posts in the What's in Your Vise thread and bring it here? (only joking, sorta)

But the important question still remains: who does number 2 work for?
