When he had a computer, he had to enlist fuhoser/donkdowndonedied's help to set it up on the server space they rented. Martin also claimed to be a genius with website templates, but even that was fucked up and the site was unreadable for a few days.Quote:

It's a lot harder to run a forum than you think -- and I'm talking from the standpoint of building and maintaining traffic. All of his sites were visited by people who were curious, but ultimately Marty was Marty, and the only ones staying around were doing so to either troll him or yank his chain. He took them all down because they were ghost towns, save for the one that laughably got hacked. He thought it was me, and I'd admit it at this point if it were true, but no, I had nothing to do with that.
A few factors keep this place active enough to justify still running. First, everyone knows I'm a stable individual, and they know what to expect from me. Second, I treat the users fairly and respectfully. Third, I have thick skin with the online trolling, where I let people bash and insult me, and only ban in rare cases where it becomes overly persistent and excessive. But the typical user knows he can criticize and/or insult me here without consequence. Fourth, I am technically competent and can make expansions/modifications to include things they want here. I've also been able to thwart various hack/DDoS attacks against the site. Finally, the radio show and my social media presence brings in a stream of new users. That's important, as otherwise sites end up a circle jerk of the same few people.
With all the shit I have taken from psychos over the years, many people close to me have advised me to just shut it all down and walk away. I don't want to do that. If I ever do shut it all down, it will be on my own terms, when I feel I am done -- not because weirdos harass me into it.
Banging rehab bunnies was probably the highlight of Mort's last dance.
Guessing he yanked it but the video from Tyde Media discussing the need to get sober over piano music and lapping ocean waves was truly stirring.
Interesting to read Druff's long form thoughts on his decades long dispute with Tyde
It is also interesting to note, that 100% of what Nicky Pipes claimed happened on my original phone call with Tyde was true.
Again, all joking aside, when I called him in the summer, he immediately began begging for money, describing how he was broke, had spent basically his entire savings on his eye surgery and was looking for somebody to cut him a break. I was actually going to do it, and if you review my posts, I literally asked him where to send the money as Druff was at that point unavailable. Rather than provide his PayPal address, Tyde decided to flip out and attack me because he was not satisfied with the amount I was offering to stake him. He wanted me to stake him in $1k events which I never agreed to, I said I'd put him a daily event or two at a local casino because as Druff stated, Tyde is not good at poker.
By the way, where did he find his success? Not at WSOP, right? He wound up doing decent and I think won or cashed a daily event for a small score, I forget the details. you get the point about Nicky Pipes instincts
Anyways, another thing that really stood out to me about Tyde, and I previously noted this while being attacked by the entire forum is that Tyde launched into a ramble immediately when the conversation started and acted like I was an old friend from 20 years ago and spoke to me in great detail about peoples personal lives and details, things that i had no clue about and people I really didn't even know. For example, as I previously noted, he shared a detail about Druffs family that I had previously had no clue about, didn't care about at all, something I still dont really care at all. Just a random detail about Druffs family, but something personal he doesnt post on this forum. It is not a veiled threat btw, I didnt care then and dont know, could care less about Druffs family they dont exist to me if you know what i mean
He also assumed I was telling the truth about knowing C Money, which I wasn't, and told me things about him that I did not know about and again, did not care about
The point is the guys just immedaitely launches into his rants and acts as if we grew up together, I found it very odd behavior
Despite what he led others to believe, I barely spoke on the call and shared no personal details about myself and anything I said to him was an intentional lie to mislead and confuse him, I understood I was dealing with a psychopath
I kept telling him I needed to be off the phone at 11am for a work call, and the call cut out when he got on an elevator. He called me back like 5 times in a row after, but as i told him I was on another call and then just blocked his number as most of the call was desperate begging for money.
Once again, PFA forgot what Nicky Pipes told you
I was also the first forum poster to say Tyde was drinking again, if you look back even Druff defended Tyde saying hes "sober" now, Lol get a clue
Nicky Pipes never wavered, I knew the chump was broke then and I know he is broke now. Perhaps he didn't drink for a month or two, not sure I even buy that, if you look closely at his post history there were very clear moments where it was obvious the guy was high or drunk
I still feel sorry for Tyde and have a soft spot for him, I think his attack on me and the community turning on me was the most shameful moment in PFA History but I forgive each and every one of you, for if only you understood how I have sinned you would feel no shame in making Nicky Pipes a martyr
Another interesting memory with Tyde was back when Dan Druff banned me from this internet forum (before he privately begged me to come back), Tyde contacted me privately and asked me to give him a call.
So one random afternoon I was walking around by the Palm Beach Sports Club in PBG and decided to give him a ring.
When he answered he immediately launched into a rant about Druff, it went something like this
"Hello?"
"Tyde, it's Knockout Nick Pipes"
"OMG NICKY PIPES! THATS CRAZY! Let me tell you about Dan Druff, man I hate that guy..."
then he started ranting about literal forum issues from over a decade ago, when I was not around and things I have no clue about.
Hung up on the chump. Click.
I believe the reason why he wanted to contact me was he wanted me help starting a competing forum
Look pal, let me tell you something, Nicky Pipes has more sense than to "invest" in a "forum" in "2024"

Walks in takes a video, tells the owner it won’t quite work for him and then back to the flophouse.
Ok, so I wanted to see for myself and called Mother Druff at home (she still has a landline). She is a sweet woman and we chatted about life, flashlights and Dan Druff’s fantasy dream of being a pro poker player (we both LOL’d). So we are BFF now and I’m going to check in on her in 2 weeks and bring her some food and coupons (she’s Jewish too). This was def a good idea and props to Marty for the tip. Love that woman!
Hoping Tyde takes this to heart and focuses on the big picture.

The last thing Tyde needs to be spending his time doing is watching political content that will serve to further upset and enrage him
Tyde does not need to worry about politics, he has no wealth or kids to protect
He needs to follow the daily routine I laid out for him a month or two ago and dedicate himself to the Tyde Turnaround Lifestyle
The protocols have been establish, but will they be respected?
uhhh todge are we allowing the protocols of tyion here?
just amazing joke coverage by me you are all welcome for that btw comes gratis also its bucks dallas under tonight in our game of basketball tonight
FAREWELL NERDS
