    There is no amendment to the constitution that gives anyone the right to infect me with forum aids.

    In fact, I think the 2008 landmark Supreme Court case of NWP v OnTheReal is pretty clear in stating that I have the right and even the obligation to defend myself against those that try to infect me with forum aids.

    I'm sorry, but the law if very clear on this point.

    Some major major issues with this site,

    If this dupe ain't garrett, someone tried pretty hard to make it look like it was. If the first part is true, then par for his shitty course. If the 2nd is true, well, pretty pathetic, IMO.

    why is it that without exception, every account championing the whole "im new here and this site isnt for you old timers" line is hugely boring shitposter?

    Sadly there seems to be some sort of animosity with the newer posters towards OS posters when they mention "the good ol' days" of DD and NWP. Frankly put, your balls are showing! Get over the fact that you weren't around. Trust us when we tell you, the forums were MUCH more entertaining and better back then. No offense to anyone that has signed up since those days have ended, but it was basically the golden era of these forums, so forgive some of us for reminiscing. I guess some of you get pissed when people say how much better music, movies and TV were back in the day too.

    This made me think... What is the ratio of good to bad posters that have come along since PFA started? It's funny cause even back in 2008/2009 everyone on NWP was bitching about how horrible the new class of posters was. Compare then to what's come along since and it probably makes those days look like we had an all star bunch.

    There were actually derisive comments about the "Class of 07" at the time, yet many of those same people would be welcomed here with open arms as legends today.

    So maybe the terrible posters here will be admired in 2023.

    Actually I haven't been able to decide at what point I would remove the forum if it became pathetically dead. I don't just mean slow, but I mean dead to where there is no active conversation occurring (kinda like current Boris and DD).

    I probably would kill it at that point. The radio show might outlast the forum, as that has sat consistently at about 1000 listeners per week, while the forum has slowly lost activity.

    I personally appreciate that you keep it going. Just to be able to read a Phantom or Wiz post on a weekly basis alone is a major plus for me. If this community is ever shut down I for one will definitely miss it.

    FTR, all my Amazon purchases will go through here in the future. I was a dumb ass who had Adblock on and never saw the link.

    If youre going to do the radio show, do the forums. If you stop doing radio, you might as well kill the forum or at least moderate it like its a community instead of a marketing tool (not a slight btw).

    Its pretty obvious poker in the states is brain dead on life support but there is just enough salacious bullshit going on (HOLLAR SWC) to totally justify keeping your passion project alive.

    I do wish you would set SOME bar for shitposting and at least start short bussing the incomprehensibly horrible cunts who sank here after getting chased off QJ / 4.

    Zero chance Druff kills either one any time soon. The guy was gone so long he probably didn't know whether to shit or go blind.

    lol soo deep in some of your heads

    Just because you all collectively project some image that you apparently aren't able to also, consequently perceive. That does not surprise me that you all think what it is that you do, actually is some reality.

    Tony may actually have hit nail on head somewhere along way.

    The forum will always have the combination of some really good folks, decent/okay people, and then the rest which fall into:

    I've been laying low on the forum, but I disagree that it is dying. was made years ago by veteran user 'cth', and I believe it sums up what makes this forum special for all users

    It's slow because it's summer, people go outside. Well, most people.
