I've been around (roughly) since 2009. I've never tried to fight the machine. It is what it is.
The true gems that we learn on this board usually are never posted anyways. It has been like this for as long as I remember. Like many, I have my own group of FT friends and we communicate via email. We talk about said gems there, but never on FT (and I learned the hard way). So I'm a bit confused as to your statement..
AC lurks. The loopholes will be closed. The ways to fight the machine will be closed. No sense posting about it.
