ZV needed a cleanse

Funny thing is, I even don't know how many posts I have lost in this purge. Lately I haven't been posting much anyway.

It's fine that you disagree with the purge. You're entitled to your own opinion.

But to then suggest that staff needs to see a doctor because for that... THAT is "absolute craziness".

How does the staff pay you to be their lawyer? Hopefully at least one load of warm horse cum a post!

Sharing a horse load with a friend is a great privilege !
Stop spreading bad vibes.
I ever spitted a load on some friend.
He asked me what I was doing. He was only into mares so I aimed for his feet to answer.
This kind of move is better than words.

Hello,

unfortunately you're wrong about that too. The first forum on the Internet was the Usenet 1980. It used so-called newsgroups in which users could publish posts on specific topics and reply to each other. Communication was asynchronous: posts were read and replied to at different times.

The functions already available on Usenet were

1. Subdivision into topic-specific newsgroups
2. Writing and replying to posts
3. Archiving of discussions (the history!)

Threads were also already structured.

Usenet was thus a forerunner of modern Internet forums and already offered the basic functions that are typical of forums today: structured discussion, archiving and thematic organisation. Later web-based forums adopted many of these principles and expanded them to include user profiles, moderation and other convenient functions.

Kind regards

And there you're wrong. BBS systems came about in the late 70s and could be considered an earlier "forum" than USENET.

This usenet program, is not it an old but efficient way of communicating with other people ?
There is definetly a communication issue.

Sorry, you are wrong here. The first forum was in the early 1970s, called Planet-Forum, followed by EIES 1976.. Usenet was established in 1979.
 
Sorry, you are wrong. The word forum refers to ancient civilisation systems were public topics were discussed.
What's the point using the time travel machine ?

Forum Romanum called and tells me it thinks you're a little too full of yourself. Oh, and you're wrong.

For someone that's soooooo knowledgable about how forums work, you're sure treating them as an e-mail conversation with your "Hello," and "Kind regards".

So I never actually provided announcements on this. They usually just happen to be who ever asks first, or if someone sees it mentioned.

Today, personals needed to be cleaned, including non zoo sections. I was nice and left a few.
Certain posts in some non-zoo porn sections were ripe with fakes and started to be come our main focus on modding.
This was intended to be a zoo forum. In fact, a better zoo forum than BF. But from some talk I've had in the past with others, this site was of course, being another BF.

I guess better late than never on this clean up. This may actually start to be an official process for now on.
Tons of personals were cleared, including much older ones. People responding to posts from 2022, and that user has never logged in since 2023.
Introductions were cleared.
Introductions is for saying you're new to the site, not for personal hook ups.

This site is not a dating site; Various users kept suggesting we have verification's; We are not a dating site. This is a zoophila site. Its focal point should be on zoo.


Please ensure you see the rules and report anything you see that may be in violation of the rules.

Good one you for cleaning it up! Thank you for all the hard work on the site 😊

jerking off over a active pretty naked body is a sin? this rule i thought was for orthodox religious people!
it's all debatable but your porn videos while helping someone get fucked or other similar video or gifs are not for jerking off! or Pes cum is not material for jerking off! or 3d-artwork-ai-content thread is not material for jerking off! no it's all art!
i understand deleting old or inactive threads but the purge done is excessive
 
Hello,

that misses the point. Bulletin board systems were not forums, but their precursors. And they did not use global access like the Internet, but point-to-point access via telephone modems. They only had a local network structure, in contrast to the global networked platform of the Internet. But even there, long-term archiving already existed, albeit in a limited form. Perhaps the most important BBS was CBBS in 1978, but it was a forerunner, not an Internet forum in the strict sense.
Conclusion: BBSs were not Internet forums, but they fulfilled many of the social and functional roles that forums later took on on the Internet. So they are ancestors, but not equivalent counterparts.

The Planet Forum was, strictly speaking, a computer conference system or community system. It was network-based, but did not use the Internet, instead using decentralised academic networks.

EIES was a non-public computer conference system that ran on distributed networks and is considered another precursor to Internet forums.

Usenet was conceived in 1979, but did not actually launch until 1980.

Regarding the core question at hand, all of these precursors, like modern Internet forums, also had an archiving function. The conclusion is that there has never been an Internet forum without an archiving function; this has been an important basic function from the very beginning.

Kind regards
CdB
