Let's play a game ![]()
Who will be the last person to post in this forum? You could take a guess on another hubber or try to be the last one yourself.
Of course we may never find out if the forums are closed abruptly.
I find it extremely odd that the co-founders of Hubpages are so emotionally detached from the sites past and will seemingly shut down the site without any fanfare, rather than doing a classy powerpoint of the sites history and some of their former staff, photos of their first office, etc.
Presumably they once had a lot of passion for the site, and now can't muster enough emotion to put any effort into a proper send off.
I suspect the last message we see will be a simple one like "The Hubpages Forums are now closed to new messages and will be deleted in the near future" and posted by this account:

I just popped in merely out of curiosity to see if I could and if the forum was still there.
Until next time, .....or not, who knows.![]()
For some reason, the political topical forums are alive and well.
It's a good thing that the topical forums are alive and well still. That way we can all keep one another updated on what each of us has been doing with our articles and to where we have moved them.
I am here, popping up! I am astonished to find that members are still receiving accolades for completing (so many) years.
They're just automated emails that no one has bothered to turn off. Probably no one left to do it.
Who knows what is happening, somebody turn on the light.

A certain member has been annoying me recently and I'd like to stop seeing their posts. How do I block them? All I can see on their profile is the flagging option.

There are a lot of us who haven't been feeling safe on the forums. They've felt stalked, harassed and browbeaten.Sadly, some folks go with the letter of the law, but not the spirit of it in their posts.For an excellent post on why we need Forum Moderators, check out what Makingamark says here...

HP probably has no problem with the concept. My guess is that implementation is just too much labor-intensive programming for them right now. They are probably buried in existing projects as it is.
