Is Rcade still alive? Or has he sold us all out?

There's been a lot of speculation about whether Rcade still runs this site and only checks in every few months, or if he's sold it to someone else, possibly even someone linked to the government. What do you all think?

I think that you're linked to the government.

Kinda figured this was a thread from one of the usual attention whores.

I am pretty sure I don't care at all, since you asked.

RCade created this insane asylum for us to play in.

What more do you want from him?

I mean. I'd prefer he got rid of all the adds, but I understand why he's got them.

Might as well make some passive income from this place.

"RCADE
Seniority: 1"

You can see his profile? It always redirects to the front page when I try to go to it.

"I mean. I'd prefer he got rid of all the adds, but I understand why he's got them."

I can only see the ads when I'm on my phone, but they've become beyond unbearable. Pop-out ads that cover half the screen and sometimes take 10 seconds to slowly close. What advertisers actually think this an effective method to make people want to buy stuff?

The way I look up usernames is I click on my own username and then change "ClownShack" in the search bar to who ever I'm looking for.

Weird. It only works if it's in all caps for me.

Which is my normal routine.

If RCade is paying attention, I would recommend creating an app for the Drudge Retort for phone users and doing social media engagement in order to bring more users to the DR.

You could probably use AI to do both.

Rogers is alive and well and making our thread posts look better before they hit the Front Page.

The 'sold is out' headline is just a loud whine.

He is, however, in bed by 10 pm as he recently posted. ;)

I'm okay with however ever RCade chooses to run this place.

Clearly I'm an addict who comes here to ease the tingly sensation of spiders running all over my skin.

I am here, just busy so I don't comment often. You can't sell out when nobody is buying.
