Re: The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election

I tried to save the entire thing as a pdf, but it only let me save as html. If you’re using macOS, you can tell it to print the page and there’s an option to save to PDF or something in the print dialog. On Windows and I think Linux, you can install a virtual “PDF Printer” and just “print” to that ...

Re: Looks like TexasCHLForum may be coming back!

I have a feeling there is or was a hardware failure on the server that led to ongoing data corruption. It was my original thought when the forum started acting up months ago. Do we know if it might have been affected by the NRA bankruptcy? I don’t see how. It looks to be a SQL error; if it was a se...

Re: What Happened to the old forum?

Oh! Google caches search results. They might have a copy of it, if you can remember the right keywords. I tried "Cushman's Pocket", and didn't find anything that looked likely to be it. Anyway, here's more info about their caches https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/1687222?hl=en&a...

Re: apple store and goodle play

There are alternatives. Here is a “de-googled” version of Android that runs on their own hardware as well as some of the more popular Android devices: https://e.foundation/ And here’s a phone that just runs straight-up Linux: https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ Between the two, I’m more interested in...

Re: What Happened to the old forum?

I'm a huge fan of the TexasCHLForum, and I look forward to the day when it comes back online. But nature abhors a vacuum (as do I), and I'm glad that Russell has added this one so I can ease the withdrawal jitters that I've been having since Charles' site went down! I'm glad to having this new outl...

Re: What Happened to the old forum?

I exchanged emails with Charles about it. I’m of the opinion that it probably won’t be coming back if it hasn’t by now. It’s been what, 3 weeks now?

Re: Spread the word!

I heard about this on Reddit. AFAIK, I don’t think I have contact info for anyone in particular from the boards... I might be Facebook friends with someone, though (well, assuming he still has his account).

I was “Dave2” on the old forum.
