Influence of MTO Inc.

[Risto the Great]

With my hand on my heart I will publicly declare my belief that the MTO Inc. has done more for empowering Macedonians than any other online destination in the world. Whilst many seek to diminish the significance of our contribution, I am absolutely convinced more people have focused their mindsets in a much more useful fashion that is more aligned with the Macedonian Cause as result of our influence here than anywhere else.

MTO Inc. has influenced organisations to forcefully demand what is ours in recent times more so than any other time in our history. It may be confronting at times but it has challenged the mindsets of people who accept many of the entrenched diplomatic blunders in the modern Macedonian nation's recent history.

Many organisations have done far more for far longer but none have done it as effectively online and none have been as far reaching in relation to presenting the issues that challenge Macedonians.

What is now accepted as basic and universally accepted human rights by many of here at the MTO is still seen as "provocative" or "unreasonable" by far too many Macedonians in the world. Our job is far from over.

We deserve our place under the Sonce.

This is my personal belief.

Well said Risto. It's crucial that Macedonians have an entire online destination dedicated to the truth. Many of us here have learnt so much from this forum, which is why we keep coming back.

As they say, knowledge is power!

For all the good that can be generated here, it is just as quickly negated on fb with stupid 'friendship' groups like the one mentioned in another thread.

The challenge is bringing the type of focus that a site like this can generate to the 'masses' of that behemoth, facebook.

Facebook has the demographic that potentially can initiate future change for the good of all Macedonian's, tapping into that demograthic with the right message of empowerment is the key.

Yeh you're right. As bad as facebook can be, it is a really good opportunity to reach out to thousands of Macedonians. Most businesses and organisations have utilised this resource for the better, ultimately making use of a powerful advertising tool.

I'd like to think i'm doing my bit, opening up a few facebook groups of my own, one called Macedonian Ancestry to get Macedonians to share their personal stories & photos on there, and one called Macedonian History - On this day, to educate less-informed Macedonians of their history

RTG you are 100% right.I look at it this way in the past others have dictated to us what we are & have written our history for us with their own slant.On this forum it gives us a chance to explore new ways of how to change people's attitudes & thinking & biases & prejudices.Allready i don't know if anyone else,i know RTG & admin have come accross to macedonias woes & the solution is there.I don't know if you could use stumbled or it's part & parcel of legitimate questioning & defintion & redfinition.The defining of the macedonian cause as defined by the mto is the real thing that has shown macedonia has detracted from it's real destiny.It's like as if macedonia has strayed off course partly due to itself & partly to others influence.If we concentrate on teaching our people about how we have lost our way by not following the real macedonian cause due to a host of many reasons. Also there have been so many destructions by its very people being anti macedonianThere is an answer or a solution.There needs a renewal of the macedonian spirit,like rekindling of a fire & there must be a revolution not only of the mind but a real physical revolution that is how macedonians can once again wake up &take up their position of a respected ,prosperous nation able to stand on her own in the world.All macedonians must unite as one throughout the world not just where they have been divided & together as one voice we can change our status or condition so that we are noticed for our existence as macedonians & as for our real identity as Macedonians.

There, is no better Macedonian forum on the internet today where the "truth" is the key.

Well done

What happened to Maknews forum?

Used to read it all the time.

RTG
It is without doubt or hesitaion that what you state is 100% correct, I am living proof of someone who had limited knowledge/education or understanding of the truth of the Macedonian people. The online presence of the MTO is so far ahead of anything else on the web that empowers Macedonians through knowledge and critical thinking that I believe many Macedonian institutions could learn some valuable lessons here, just as I have. The enormous empowerment I have developed in dealing with ignorant people has lifted my confidence significantly, to the point where I am able to educate the ignorant or at the very least expose their ignorance for what it is and enable others to see it as well. MTO=#1 Macedonian enlightenment site...by plenty!

[George S.]

maknews seems to have ceased to exist just like the dodo.No one knows what happening.

[George S.]

Mk ain"t that the truth?Your threads with your input throughout have been informative & enjoyable.l

[George S.]

Congrats Makedonche you are living proof of the transformation the Mto has made to you
personally.I have noticed your getting the enlightenement.Being at one with one self & others at MTO accepting that you are a Macedonian with the right cause in mind that's the macedonian cause,the effect is you are a real Macedonian!A real Macedonian with the real attributes.

Lol was it because the owner was such a twat?

[George S.]

who is the owner is it the Rom govt or are they private ?

[EgejskaMakedonia]

Lubi (Maknews) was the owner. I think there were a few disagreements between individuals there which led to a group of members forming the MTO.

A lot of valuable information was also lost apparently when the server went down a few times, so I guess others just gave up on investing their time and effort on that website.

In my opinion the MTO caters far more in terms of essentially 'making a difference.' It all starts with the defined Macedonian cause that has been developed here.
