That's a good point.
We need the .org as the glue.
The forum is good to have if the price isn't too high.

You could always have two forums. Keep this one and add a new one. I don't think it cost money to have the forum on the JTF server. It cost money to have the jtf.org domain. I don't know if having two forums would it make it too expensive unless there is a data or storage limit under the current price. Old sites load faster than new technology so the current forum probably doesn't use as much storage.
I think the reason the forum isn't busy has nothing to do with the decline in the use of forums. JTF lost a lot of activity of the forum when Trump first became President since the JTF position on Trump is not popular among most Right Wingers. The other reason is that there is no Ask JTF. The long time users wish there was Ask JTF. I don't usually watch all the new JTF videos. But Ask JTF is something viewers would be hooked to. I remember when the show was 3 hours before a limit on questions. Some of the new videos are like the old QPTV shows but it would be more interesting if people got to ask questions to. Of course the affirmative action story should be an important segment in the shows. A lof of the UMM HMM quotes are predictable on the current shows such as when quoting about the Mother Ship (UMM HMM) or something like that but it's less original.

The upgrade is free. The issue is not money. The issue is that we have to start the forum all over again and lose all of our prior posts. Also, this forum software is not very good. If we have to start all over again, we might as well go to something better.

1. We are moving onto a new and better server with a new and better company. So moving the outdated forum could create technical problems and might be impossible because the version we are using is no longer supported.
2. In 2016, we lost a lot of our supporters because we backed Ted Cruz instead of Trump, but that is irrelevant now and has not been relevant for many years.
3. Our new videos get far more views and far more support than the old Ask JTF format. You preferred Ask JTF because you liked to ask questions every week, which is fine. But our main concern is the Hilltop Youth, and we are getting much more support for them now with the new videos. We also had Ask JTF in Hebrew but our new format is much more successful. For example, our video clip from my debate with the atheists in Israel has 245,718 views, which for a country the size of Israel is huge. The second video on that YouTube channel was an interview I did on the Hilltop Youth which got 32,033 views.

It would take some getting used to, but Telegram might be worth trying. Telegram is similar to WhatsApp, and I believe on Telegram you can keep your phone number private in your privacy settings if you want. It is possible to have groups with many members on Telegram. I don't believe they moderate or censor much on Telegram, but I'm not experienced with Telegram groups.
Also, I would have no problem starting the forum over.
