Is MrLee4u really PaloAltoGuy (PAG) back here spamming us again? lol. Why else would he post this link from PAG's site:
http://culturewhiz.org/forum/topic/cult ... ough-draft
Does anyone understand what that webpage is about? It seems like a lot of gibberish. PAG must be mentally ill.
Why did none of you recognize this?
I did and I was suggesting you should delete this thread, just read back....

I don't think that spammers offering only troll postings and nothing else have a right to claim 'Free Speech'.
You are the admin of this forum, up to you to remove spam accounts and troll postings.

About your question regarding PAG webpages, I have no idea, I think they are good for nothing.

Some people just like to boast about how successful they are by insulting others and putting them down. They like to start trouble, and insinuate that others are inferior to them, when that's not the case. Just a different niche.
Yeah those people are very toxic and have insecure egos. Typical of America. If they were filled with the love of Christ and the holiness, wisdom, righteousness and transcendence of God, they would not need to do that.

I'd say that the HA site needs a relaunch but the concept itself is bigger than ever.

Sure more people communicate on social media these days. But personally I think that Facebook is dying.

Our great leader should be using the site's authority to go after traffic in lucrative niches like dating, travel, TEFL and MGTOW.

Also he could do more vlogging. I've done some YouTubing over the holidays (tech niche, not HA stuff) and it's been a lot of fun splicing it all together.
I was Happier Abroad for a while but Covid killed that off.

I actually find my life more tranquil keeping off of any social media, which is turning into a cesspool of hate. I think this site has some potential to do something positive, unlike Rooshv which has turned into a pile of crap.

Lol @ site's authority.

All these type of hates sites are being banned on social media. So good luck with that.

I've been following for years and it's depressing to see "all star" posters who have drifted away, I guess that's just the nature of these communities. Come to think of it, a lot of the "old school" style forums I've visited for 10+ years have become very inactive. I wonder if it's just people being less active online, more likely to use faster-paced and aggregate sites like Reddit, etc.

Why should it even be a surprise that it's dying when the quality of members and posts have been nothing but declining over the past couple of years? Sigh.
This. HA is a tiny, odd backwater. It could be big, but most normal people won't put up with the abuse here which is called 'free speech'. Perfect example: The person who put a lot of time into the longest and best thread ever on this forum was subjected to racism and ridicule by the misfits here. So he left. Take a look at this thread if you wonder what HA could be: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=18786 If you don't like clicking on mysterious links, it is A Complete Dating Guide To Mainland Chinese Women.

I sort of like it as an unfinable backwater.
If Wu wants to make it more popular he will have a lot of work to do.

I mentioned this many years ago, Fortigate a major firewall maker in the past listed happierabroad.com as porn, but something much worse has happened. If you go to any US Denny's restaurant, they use Fortigate as there firewall, happierabroad.com is blocked. This is a non standard type of block. Happierabroad.com listed as dating site but no other dating sites are blocked, porn is not blocked, nothing else is blocked. It is some kind of inside job at Fortigate, probably done by one of those social justice types, its likely a rule buried in the default config. Myanmar uses Fortigate as firewall into the country, that means happierabroad.com is blocked in all of Myanmar.

Happierabroad.com is an old red pill site, as you know Google is heavily SJW converged and this has been going on for years. Happierabroad.com is not easy to find, the social justice types inside of Google have made sure of that. Because of happierabroad.com's age and lack of counter action there are likely a lot of road blocks out there.

Another thing, bragging and telling others how easy it is to nail tons of women from other countries is a special high risk unto it self. See Cuba Dave http://www.cubadave.com/

It is. After a certain point, what more can you say or read without it just being the same stuff over and over? Although the archives here are filled with gold, it would take someone an enormous amount of time to wade through all of the drivel. And then, what's new? Not much.

Happier Abroad used to be "Magical" back in 2012 with quality posters posting their thoughts, experiences, and insights.
My favorite were Ladislav, Falcon, Abcdavid, Momopi, Lone Yazuka, Odbo, Kradmelder, Everdred, Public Duende and more.

Don't get me wrong, Happier Abroad still is a cool place, but I feel it has lost it's momentum or it's light. Still, Happier Abroad is a special island in the ocean of mediocracy and Wokeness.
Your friendly Neighborhood Cynic!
