Forums

AlienBabelTech has a over 625 registered users and approximately 43,600 posts. ABT, as it is known for short, is among the top 180,000 sites [1] in the world. It is also in the top 50,000 sites in the USA and has over 300 other sites linking in. AlienBabelTech has many sub-forums used for discussions ranging from the highly technical to the comical Off Topic section.

Throughout the forum, free speech and expression is encouraged and this is done in a lightly moderated environment. The backbone of such freedom come via each member acting as their own moderator, using the Friend or Foe feature. This can be used to add a person who is trolling your discussions to the "foe list" so as to block out their posts. Others will see it just fine but you will not and the thread continues unperturbed.
