    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

Caught this week's episode, a "bank" show from October, I think. Fully 30 minutes of it was going into the JonBenet Ramsey murder case, in great detail (mostly from Steve). WTF was he thinking? Doing this in front of a captured live audience. If I was there I would have left. I was hoping for something more uplifting during this Christmas week. Even Cara said "WTF, Steve?" (without the acronym). I have avoided most of the reporting on that story and only saw snippets over the years, immediately changing channels if anything about it came on. For some reason I stuck this out, sadly. And he went on, and on, and on, presumably to promote a skeptical look at it, but there are thousands of other stories he could have gone with. This really pissed me off.
Not to mention, there is really no way that I can see to give current public feedback. I'm not going to personally email when they should certainly have an online presence. Twix and their Forum show almost no activity. If they want to promote skepticism they better move up to the 2020s and the media available besides just the podcast.
 
They're reasonably active on the discord, I believe, and there's r/SGU on Reddit which they have taken note of in the past. The SGUForum no longer has a direct connection to the SGU itself - it's owned and maintained by fans, and yes there is activity, though it's not as busy as it was in the past. I am a moderator there.

The Ramsay case discussion I think was relevant, as it showed that there was skepticism needed in almost all aspects of what happened. I'm not into "true crime" as a genre but I know a lot of people (including in this case, apparently, Steve) who are, and who would have found that topic interesting.
