Long story shorter, I noticed it wasn't in the political category when I made a recent post and moved it here thinking that because of board modifications it would remain free. I checked back throughout the day on the 11th and free Users remained able to post. Not sure what happened between then and when people realized they could no longer post here. The board has been moved backed to the original category until we can figure out what made it change. Sorry for the inconvenience to all.
