long time lurker,

It's certainly true that this forum is not very active. It's ranking on major search engines, including Google, has also fallen sharply.

However, it continues to provide a wealth of information, and I see no benefit to taking it offline.

I think George deserves kudos for running this site, holding a professional position, plus having a family.  I've only done two of the three and that grinded me down to a nub.  This is a very important site since so-called lie detectors are an extra-judicial means to quash the civil rights of citizens.  If the CVSA and polygraph examiners had their way, they would replace our justice system with their pseudo-science devices.

Is this forum even active anymore?  In recent years, sites like discuss.clearancejobsblog.com and Reddit are where people go for polygraph advice.  Even though Reddit subs are heavily censored, plenty of polygraph discussion happen in private messages or offline.  There was a time when federal agencies would warn people about this site but now I don't think they care.  The Google ranking is down as well and this site won't even show up in search results unless you put in precise keywords.

George, do you have any thoughts about the decline in use of this site, or if you plan to try to get more users to post like back in the post-911 days?  Maybe it is time to say R.I.P. to this outdated forum.

A tip of the hat from someone you often called a fraud,  but you did allow free expression of all points of view.

QuoteSaying there is no instance of a criminal passing the poly with Antipolygraph.org's help is a mere conjecture.

So, I didn't say that "there is no instance of a criminal passing the [polygraph] with AntiPolygraph.org's help." What I stated was "there is no instance where a criminal has been shown to have passed a polygraph examination with AntiPolygraph.org's help." See the difference?

This is a conundrum.  Saying there is no instance of a criminal passing the poly with Antipolygraph.org's help is a mere conjecture.  How would there be evidence of this?  People have posted on this forum that they passed with the help of this site, but I know, that is all hearsay and we can't just believe it, right?

https://antipolygraph.org/forum/index.php?topic=4793.msg35341#msg35341

https://antipolygraph.org/forum/index.php?topic=4993.msg36937#msg36937

The criminals that have passed the poly while concealing crimes, such as Joshua Schulte, may have used Antipolygraph.org to help themselves pass.  Even if criminals like Schulte mentioned to authorities that this site helped them pass, the authorities won't release this info.  There will never be an official news source that will publish info about this site helping a criminal pass the poly.  It just won't happen.  Authorities don't want to give credit to this site.

If no official news will post it, and we can't believe the posts on this site, then how do we know who passed the poly (criminal or not) based on the help of this site?

QuoteQuestions that we will never find out:

How many law-abiding people has this site helped pass the poly? 😇
How many criminals has this site helped pass the poly? 😈

Indeed, the answer to these questions is unkowable.

I do know, however (based on feedback), that AntiPolygraph.org has helped numerous people to pass the polygraph.

To my knowledge, there is no instance where a criminal has been shown to have passed a polygraph examination with AntiPolygraph.org's help.

Congratulations! I doubt you are going to get many well wishes from the likes of (Drs) Gelb, Humble, Baker, and the other clowns in the lie industry.

You left off the summary:  If a so-called technology can be so easily manipulated, why the hell is it still being employed?

Twenty-five years ago today, on Monday, 18 September 2000, AntiPolygraph.org went online.
