I have revived the forum. When I joined the forum, it was dying, but it has become very active since I joined the forum. 5 new members (Murtagon, InVinoVeritas, MatthewJTaylor, RepublicanMonarchistWoman and Emir) have joined the forum since I joined the forum, and Murtagon, InVinoVeritas and MatthewJTaylor often post in the forum. But I miss some of the old members, who I followed when lurking on the forum before joining. Peter and Wessexman still contribute a lot to the forum, Admiral Horthy, Bator and Ethiomonarchist still post in the forum sometimes, and Baron von Servers contributed a lot to the forum two months ago, but the other veteran members of the forum have disappeared. DavidV almost never responds to my posts, and Jovan, Ponocrates, ContraTerrentumEQR, Emperors Advocate and Domhangairt have disappeared entirely from the forum. I would like those members to return to the forum, and I would like DavidV to respond to my posts.

Yes, Azadi, it seems we agree on something completely. I don't know about the other members you have listed, but I'm pretty sure that ContraTerrentumQR is practically no longer a member, because of some rather major disagreements about the French succession. That's what I remember from my lurking and reading old posts in even older threads, in the days when Royalcello himself actually visited.

Discussing the French succession with ContraTerrentum would have been very exciting, because he is a staunch Legitimist, while I'm a Bonapartist. I admire Napoleon, and I consider him the greatest hero of France ever. But as a Russophile, I'm opposed to his invasion of Russia. I dislike French Legitimism, because it rejects the legacy of the French Revolution entirely. I support the legacy of the French Revolution of 1789, while rejecting the legacy of the French Revolution of 1792. Emperor's Advocate is a staunch Habsburg loyalist, who wants the Habsburgs to be restored to the thrones of not only Austria and Hungary, but also Spain and most of Italy. Domhangairt is a South African of Scottish descent, who supports Scottish independence. Domhangairt is an anti-Semite, and he criticizes a lot of European royal dynasties for being of foreign origin. I'm strongly opposed to anti-Semitism and other forms of racism, and I believe in the Old Covenant remaining valid after the resurrection of Jesus. I'm not opposed to royal dynasties being of foreign origin, if they adopt the culture of their subjects. I want a foreign prince, who marries a Kurdish woman and learns the Kurdish language, to be elected Shah of Kurdistan.DavidV is an Australian of Czech descent, who is an Anglophile, and who hates Putin, the People's Republic of China, Assad, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the ANC (the ruling party of South Africa). I admire Putin and the ANC, and I consider Assad the least bad option for Syria, but I despise the Islamic republic of Iran, and I'm not terribly fond of the People's Republic of China.

Perhaps some posters are ruminating on the ironies of getting what you desire.

As a Germanophile, because you have proposed returning North Schleswig to Germany, despite being a Dane, and as an Anglophile, because you have proposed Great Britain annexing the entire Antarctica.

How about me azadi? We've had our disagreements but we're probably the most active users right now so we see a lot of each others content.

As an admirer of the British Empire, as a staunch Scottish unionist and monarchist and as a staunch Protestant.

thank you but i really have to correct some misuderstandings then: i didnt propose returning north schleswig to germany, i said i would be willing to loose it, it it meant the restoration of the monarchy in germany. i would of course prefer to have all of schleswig back to denmark as it was originally. yes i proposed that uk should annex all of antarctica, but that doesnt mean im an anglophile. the fact is that the british queen was the first to take a royal title as monarch of a part of antarctica. if instead another monarch had started by taking the title as monarch of a part of antarctica, i would have liked all of antarctica to be united under that monarch instead, regardless of the nationality of the monarch. i hope you see the difference? :-)

Britain has no legitimate claim to Antarctica, because Antarctica was discovered by a Russian called Fabian von Bellingshausen, and the first human person to reach the South Pole was a Norwegian called Roald Amundsen. Fabian von Bellingshausen named Peter I Island and Alexander Island, which are located close to the Antarctic mainland, after Russian Tsars, and Roald Amundsen named the Antarctic Plateau after King Haakon VII of Norway. I want Antarctica to remain international territory in order to prevent destruction of the unique environment of Antarctica.

thats your opinion, but fair enough. in my opinion it doesnt matter that it was discovered by a russian as the czar was not smart enough to include the area in his titles. then i would have supported that. being half norwegian i know of course very well of roald amundsen, and im very proud of him being the first man on south pole. . i would have loved our norwegian king to carry the title of king of norwegian antarctica. but also that didnt happen. only the british were smart enough to do that, i have to admit. its just the way it is. but fair enough that you dont regard that as a legitimate claim. let us agree on disagreeing. for me also it means very much to protect the environment, that is also important.
