Welcome, welcome, Veribus. I think you have found the site. I don't go site hopping, so I don't know about others, but I left FE for what I felt was good reason. In fact, basically the same reason you complain about.
We're in a tough time and there can be no tolerance for heresy. When something is only the slightest bit heretical it's harder to recognize than outright apostasy. But my rule is that any Catholic discussion site, group, or conference that does not allow discussion of all matters of the Faith, that makes certain topics relating to Apologetics off-liimits, is to be avoided -- and publicly absconded.
What progress has been made in 40 years of "traditional" action?
Anyone who identifies with what's called the "traditional" Catholic movement would certainly not confuse the more blatantly heretical aspects of the Novus Ordo religion with Catholicism, but to me the greater enemy and more wicked evil are the publications and sites and groups that put on a veneer of traditionalism while carefully rejecting certain aspects of the Faith.
(I'm not even saying that you even have to reject the Novus Ordo Church leadership to be Catholic, per se, but if a group forbids polite, civil discourse on that matter, and the group states that acceptance of clergy ordained in the New Rite is unquestioned and axiomatic, then at that point I'd have to say that this group is either (a) wickedly and deviously anti-Catholic, or (b) ignorant and seriously uncharitable. A layman's beliefs is one thing, but when a layman decides to open a public Internet forum, he takes on further responsibilities. Angelqueen and Fisheaters are clearly part of the SSPX/Novus Ordo sect and I publicly renounce their uncharitable actions.)
By the way, besides this board and the others already listed in this thread, the Catholic Men's League is a very good and recommended board:
