FrostBoard Dispatch
News from Alaska
Every week something happens in Alaska that nobody covers the way Alaskans need it covered. A data broker scrapes the FAA registry and resells it as a Palmer airshow attendee list. A puppy listing that doesn't exist takes three grand from a Fairbanks family. The State Fair drops its concert lineup and nobody writes the piece that tells you which ones are worth the drive from Tok.
This is where we write about it. You live here. So do we.
The platforms failed you. Not the other way around. It starts with you.

Did You Know Firearms Are Welcome on FrostBoard?
Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist banned firearms outright. On FrostBoard they are listed openly alongside boats and snowmachines, by government ID-verified Alaskans, with two-way reviews and bans that stick.

FrostBoard's First Airplane
A scammer with an AI voice took $13,000 from an Alaska pilot over a propeller that never existed. That is exactly why FrostBoard verifies every member, and why Lloyd trusting us with a 1975 Piper PA-18 Super Cub mattered so much.

Why You Were Right to Walk Away
You almost went through with it. The listing looked right, the seller said all the right things, and something still sat wrong in your chest. That instinct has a track record, and it is the whole reason FrostBoard verifies every member.

Someone Tried to Sell Me a List of 2,600 Palmer Airshow Attendees. Here's Where It Actually Came From.
I got an email offering me 2,600 verified pre-registered Palmer Airshow attendees. The list is real in the sense that it contains real people. But it isn't from the event and it isn't pre-registered. Here's where it actually came from.
