The Free Keene Forum continues to grow as a resource for activism in Keene as well as for those who are interested in moving to the area. Now with over 500 members, 1200 topics, and 15,000 posts, the Free Keene Forum has become the second most popular NH liberty-oriented forum on the internet, surpassing the NHLA Forum and trailing the NHFree Forum .
To celebrate the continually increasing demand on the Free Keene Forum, new activism subforums have been added! The old “Activism & Events” subforum was the forum’s most popular, so four separate subforums were created to replace it:
Additionally, the “Introduce Yourself” subforum has been made more prominent at the top of the forum. Be sure to stop in there and tell us about yourself before you start posting!
