The Red Pill Needs a Viable Backup
Published 07/30/19 by BTrack [1 Comments]

It's common knowledge within the community that The Red Pill is under systematic attack from outside forces, and has been for some time.

Probably the best example being the TRP subreddit, which was quarantined under suspicious circumstances quite some time ago. I can't quite remember how long ago, but well over a year.

Yet despite this, no-one in the community seems particularly concerned about creating a legitimate contingency plan.

We have a Reddit clone (Forums.RED) which has been locked off to new users/contributions for at least 2 years (if not longer), and barely functions.

And we have this site - TRP.RED - which while at least accepting new users and submissions, is so poorly designed it struggles to maintain even a basic community.

You would think, given that the subreddit could be purged any day now, that the community would have given serious thought to building a legitimate replacement for the subreddit and work on pushing traffic/content over to it.

But this seems to have been willfully disregarded.

Unfortunately we're now in a position as a community that if the subreddit goes, the entire community will be shattered. The majority of users would be lost, and while some content has been backed-up and would remain, the vast majority of discussion would be lost forever.

I hope, that Forums.RED can be opened, recieve so much needed maintenance work and we can begin the process of migrating users and content over to it as our main hub. Because if we don't that community will be lost and will take many years to rebuild.

Tip BTrack for their post.

Forums.Red is under redesign and will be opened in the case of emergency (getting kicked off reddit).

TRP.RED is also under redesign. Check our patreon for some previews!
