It's still up, but the King Admin and all moderators have begun issuing farewell threads.
NewsMax is gonna try to go Salon-style "pay-for-content."

I apologize for the late notice. I was supposed to have been notified of this two days ago, however there was a communication error. The NewsMax.com Forum is going to be shut down tonight as parts of the site are being redesigned. We are currently working on a new version of the forum that will be part of the newly designed site. At this time I donââ¬â¢t have many details but we will continue to keep you updated as to the changes and reopening of the forum. At this point I can say that when the site reopens it will be different from what you are currently used to. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at Brandon@newsmax.com. I canââ¬â¢t promise you when I will be able to return contact, as Iââ¬â¢m sure many of you will have questions. Iââ¬â¢ll do my best to address your concerns as promptly as possible. Thank you for supporting NewsMax.com and for using the forum. Best, Administrator2

Will Newsmaxers feel at home on "Free" Republic?

By all accounts I've heard :lol:
BTW, I bet this gives the Robinson's a little more ammunition during the next beg-a-thon.

Well....this should be interesting
I doubt many will pay to participate when there are other interesting Web forums and Usenet still available.
NewsMax seemed to have a tad more liberty than FR, so some headed there can expect to get banned LOL In fact, I'd bet many posters there were probably excommunicated or unwelcome FReakers.
Perhaps OD and LibertyForum will pick up some new folks who will learn some new things.
Funniest thing is the rabidest Zionists on NewsMax will have to hang out on FR where everyone agrees with them, unless they wanna brave the paleo forums. Since most are hotheads who rely on moderators to squelch their opponents, I predict they'll go insane with nobody to argue with anymore.

Suplanter,
You will find that OD is the "big leagues". Bring a little of the insight back to your regular forum.
