ويل لأمةٍ تضحي بشبابها من أجل شيبيها

Sadly, this is what's happening.
FPM is obviously no longer a youth movement as it used to be.

FPM was driven by young, enthusiastic and creative people. LFPM/Orange Room, Vcoderz and even Tayyar.org were created and driven by young people who wanted to get their voice through and they did it.

FPM has been transforming into another party based on sectarianism and became part of the game it had always refused.
Self-criticism has been narrowing since years, it was never "the right time" or "this is a critical situation" and I've seen many being accused as traitors simply for pointing out a specific problem inside FPM.

Considering the above, i'm not surprised they made such a move and closed the Orange Room, i am actually surprised why it took them that long to do it.

On the other hand, the Orange Room has an amazing archive, it was so easy to see what FPM was years ago, how decent and amazing the discussions were.
It is also an amazing diary of all those who dedicated their lives for their country through FPM especially during the occupations and the dark days.

Even if the forum was closed, the archive should remain accessible.
And ideally, host the website again as LFPM or just under another name.

Meanwhile, enjoy your stay in Vcoderz, it has always been an independent website and always will be =)
