Does anyone have any info as to why few posts are actually being posted? Is Intel suppressing freedom of speech?

It's still better than the mountain of troll posts that piled up here before the mods finally decided to do their jobs.
Heavily moderated content here
There is lot of other active forums here, from Qualcomm and Oracle to Verizon and AT&T. All companies with a lot of money, yet their reputation gets dragged through the mud on a daily basis there, so I would say the companies can’t do much to suppress the employees’ negative feedback.
Also, we have the money alright, but also a tendency to be ignorant, so I would be surprised to hear they even noticed this site exists.
As for this forum being silent lately, it’s been cyclical for the last 4 years. You see more threads whenever something big is cooking, and we all tend to forget about it when we are busy or things go smooth.
Intel is a big company with lots of MONEY. MONEY Talks! Of course they can suppress freedom of speech. One way they can do this is by asking this website admin to "limit the Fake News posts that adversely affect our company." Along with a generous fee. Second way is for one of the Intel CEO's to talk to this websites CEO and suddenly without warning everything is different.
It is the calm before storm. There are so many competitions from multiple fronts, process technology from foundry, X86 from AMD, client and server from ARM. Intel is incapable to innovate inside and fails to mitigate with MA. Top leaders have no strong technical background and vision, middle managers are busy on nepotism and politics. Each side just covers its own a– and creates pain for product design. Intel's fate is written on the wall, same as HP, struggle, fail, struggle again, fail again, with each cycle forced to RIF to please shareholders.
@2ryk, OP was the one who asked that question.
@ 1yka
No one said Intel had anything to do with suppressing this board...
I tried to post many times but my post will not show up after submitting. Let's see if this one will ...
Ok, here's a tip. Don't take a job in GSM. The politics in that org are riduculous. There is so much make work going on under the guise of "enabling"
Intel suppressing freedom of speech? Huh?
First of all, Intel does not own or run this forum.
Second, freedom of speech does not apply to Internet forums that are being moderated by their owners (yes, most people don‘t actually know what „freedom of speech“ actually means).
I'm also wondering
I’m ERP-ed, so I come here occasionally to stay updated. Noticed there are less posts lately, but thought things were just getting better after the management shift. Started tracking Oracle forum board here, don’t understand half of what they saying, but they sure seem busy.
The posts are for sure being suppressed.
Because trolls took over this forum and they are trying to keep things relevant and troll-free. It got REALLY bad. However, I posted a comment that was relevant, and not trolling, and it was removed. I think they are going a tad overboard IMHO.
Beats me. Calm before the storm, maybe.
