EDIT: To update (Dec 25th 2023) after announcing the closure of TotalFreedom my administrator access here was revoked without warning and without consultation. As a result there is no longer a plan to restore any content which is currently restricted as I (and others) are no longer able to access such threads.
I'm really sorry that we're loosing a significant chunk of history, this certainly was not my intention or plan.
Hi Folks,
After far longer than I had expected, I'm pleased to say that we have removed the forums from it's slumber, and the maintenance mode has now been disabled.
As part of the work to archive the forums to their original state, and to recover the damage done previously I've had to make some changes, these are as follows
With this in mind, the following boards right now are restricted to forum admins only, as Steven or myself have time, we will look to make threads in these boards available to everyone publicly:
The ones that are (Broken) are categories where there is one or more boards that have "0 Threads" and some number of posts. Which should be impossible.
I'd ask if people find any "Weird" permissions issues can they let me know.
I'll also remind people that the forums have moved, and our active community is now forum.totalfreedom.me/ - This Proboards forums is now being used only as an archive for prosperity.

Hi Folks,
After far longer than I had expected, I'm pleased to say that we have removed the forums from it's slumber, and the maintenance mode has now been disabled.
As part of the work to archive the forums to their original state, and to recover the damage done previously I've had to make some changes, these are as follows
- Registration has been permanently disabled - I don't want to allow new members to register, I feel as we are preserving these forums for the future, it makes sense not to allow new accounts to be registered now.
- The creation of this "Post Migration" Category - I wanted to ensure there was somewhere clearly "New" that I could post these updates as we start to screen through all of the previously restricted content, and make it public. I also appreciate people may have wanted a small space to keep in touch for those that didn't make the jump on to the new forums, this category is this place. I will say if it turns out to be abused / mis-used we will re-visit and potentially close the board that allows existing members to post.
- Re-Setup every board by hand - Due to the really badly broken permissions, we've had to re-create every board by hand. There are a handful that didn't quite work properly, and that have weird orphaned posts, but from what we can see the threads got moved, but some weird legacy posts didn't seem to play ball.
With this in mind, the following boards right now are restricted to forum admins only, as Steven or myself have time, we will look to make threads in these boards available to everyone publicly:
- Admin Help & Closed Admin Help (Set so Forum admins can see and the original thread creator)
- Senior Admin Help & Closed Senior Admin Help (Also set so Forum admins can see and the original thread creator)
- Admins Category
- Telnet Admins Category
- Senior Admins Category
- Administrator Area Category
- (Broken) Announcements & Information
- (Broken) General
- (Broken) Server & Forums
- (Broken) Applications
- (Broken) Telnet admins
The ones that are (Broken) are categories where there is one or more boards that have "0 Threads" and some number of posts. Which should be impossible.
I'd ask if people find any "Weird" permissions issues can they let me know.
