Not questioning why Clyde sold up but I'm not overly impressed the way this commercial venture has taken over, I fear greatly for the continuity of our community on DPF. Far to many UK based prepper forums got ruined by "" Professionals"".

Yeah I'm not sure to why he sold it.but yet.knowing clyde,I'm sure he has his good and justified reasons.but as far as the new owners go.i'll just wait it out,then decide.
I'll àlso make 1 or 2 mods/staff to help out here.once enough ppl join.on account I know that I won't be able to run it by myself once we have enough members here.

I have only been a member of DPF for two years but I am starting to see an awful lot of old members suddenly starting to post now. Some I do remember SallyC for example but most I do not know. Being the paranoid that I am and also having experience on another forum, that was recently bought that suddenly had a bunch of ancient members posting. This served two purposes, 1) to build up the perceived activity to sell advertisement. 2) to support the new requiems positions. The ancient member posting were fake and posted by the admin. Sentry18 is there to support the new requiem. JM2C

BUT, there is something not quit right about them all coming back at the same time. And sentry showing up...with what you’ve told us about him, is very unsettling to me. As I said previously, my gut is not reacting well to the site now.

All these new people and the stealth takeover I just think there is lots more to this than we know.

DD, with the world turning end of days Biblical on us and the stealth takeover of the site of Preppers, I just feel we don’t need to take the chance of them gathering even more information about all of us. Besides, that Angie sets off red flags to me when she posts.

Yes, it's very sus. I'm not sure about a conspiracy, but I think it could be a money grab by this company. Either way, having joined in Dec 12, our Ausprep site has it's roots in DPF. I assure you, we are NOT for sale.

GP my plan is to poke around My Survival Forum over with UP for a couple weeks and see what it is like. I also want to visit sahunter's site and see what they are up to over there. Might be interesting to learn how they do things. Take a wait and see attitude with DPF. Be very careful what you post over there. My husband prefers I not talk anything weapon. As far as the world knows we own no weapons.

I tried My Survival forum and hated it, I think Big Paul was also a member or mod on it for a while, I didnt like the negativity eminating from some posters who thought that their way was the only way. I also spotted the names of some folks who helped rin another UK prepper forum.

You are right there are some really good people over there and I hope things work out for the forum. It was a great place to spend time. I intend to visit regularly still and hope if things go south this will provide a place for them to land.

didnt like the way that the takeover on DPF was done without consulting the members, so logged out.
