The Orange Room used to be a partisan website in that it was hosted under tayyar.org, the official website of the Lebanese Free Patriotic Movement Party, but in October 2012, it moved to its new independent host Oroom.org. Although reflecting the Lebanese political tensions at various times, the level of openness and the ability to voice dissenting opinions has gradually increased with time, and at one point it has been reasonably argued that users from any political affiliation have been able to freely express their thoughts and opinions. This openness, although still relatively present, has however decreased over the past few years.
