Agree, he should have not even started this thread with Post #1.

[Dan Druff]

BCR def played Druff to censoring me.

As for the three posts above, same old junk from the 3 same garbage liberal losers- BCR, Sloppy Hoe and Pedotine., Didnt even read it, same old crap.

As this goes on, Druff is going to have to keep posting more 90s dating stories to keep the place active.

Raw activity is not always a good thing.

For example, I could write AI bots to spam off news stories and poker content here every day. We'd have a lot of new threads, sure. But they'd also be low quality, generic, and annoying, hence I don't do that.

Raw activity is necessary only when the forum is so dead that it needs some kind of new content to make it worth opening for people on a daily basis. PFA is not there, and has never been there. Therefore, I try to stress quality over quantity when it comes to threads and posts on this site.

You're correct about one thing. The reason I post 90s dating stories is indeed to keep this place active. It's my forum, and keeping people engaged is my responsibility. I will sometimes post these personal stories in order to make the site more interesting for the daily posters/readers. Notice I don't post stuff like that on Facebook or Twitter, as I don't care about engagement on those platforms (even Twitter where I'm currently getting paid for views).

Anyway, back to your situation...

I have known most of these characters for a long time, in some form or another. I've never met nor spoken to BCR off the forum, but he's been a very active poster over a long span of time, to where I feel like I do know him. I've had a few off-forum conversations with sonatine, and met him once in 2011, but again, he's someone I feel I mostly know via his forum activity. I have a good feel for these people, and what I can expect from them.

I can assure you that none of them are here to ruin my reputation. Even Sloppy Joe, who is presently my main troll here, isn't looking to be a real-life problem for me.

This forum is really just a group of guys who have been forum acquaintances for a long time, loosely associated through poker and gambling, who enjoy interacting on a daily basis. That's it. In a way, it's kind of like a Facebook group, except without real names attached.

This forum doesn't make money, by design. I run it basically as a hobby. I keep it going in a large part to keep a group together which started 21 years ago. I am not interested in changing or remaking it at this point. There will never be a change in tone, major change in rules, or major shakeup regarding who is allowed here. I try to stay away from banning people, which is why even annoying new users like joe croupier got so many chances before the banhammer ultimately fell.

The big problem I see here is that you have a different idea of what PFA should be, and want to "help" by remaking it. I don't want that. Even if my own mom came to me and said she doesn't like PFA and wants to remake it, I'd tell her to butt out and let me run it my way. That's what I'd tell everyone.

I have defended you many times. I've talked about your loyalty as a friend. I've talked about how you're a different guy in person than on forums (in a good way). I've talked about how, despite all of the controversy you've endured here, you've never once been threatening or harassing toward anyone, and how that's not part of your makeup. I've defended some of your threads you've created, pointing out how they've gotten quality engagement.

At the same time, the overwhelming majority on PFA felt you were dominating the forum, and that a lot of your posts were low quality. Even lurkers hate opening up the forum to see low-effort memes, news story reposting, and Twitter reposts. They want to see interesting original content, and thoughtful discussion. Even the threads I create about current events, I try to include my own original analysis, and very rarely repost memes or Twitter takes in order to get my point across. If I don't feel I have the time to do that, I usually don't create the thread at all.

The bottom line is that I will not allow major disruptions to PFA. If you want to fit in here and go with the flow, I'm happy to have you. If you want to change PFA and make it your idea of "active", it's just going to result in continued restrictions.

Druff is a reasonable person. I think dr has been on better behavior since first ban. I didn't care for the trans thread and pictures but it was clearly labeled so I didn't view it. Take advice and don't bomb post and realize the site doesn't need to be saved by a bombardment of new posts , tone it it down a little more and you will be ok.

This is really gonna hurt the future thread that DR starts with AI help titled "Mia Khalifa, with flashlights"

DD- how much more fucking energy are you going to expend regurgitating the same point to the same person? i'm stunned you keep telling him the same thing, over and over and over and over, almost daily now, expecting a different result or understanding from him. he even called you a liar.

i am grateful (usually) for what you have provided us here. i have publicly and privately told you as much. i believe in over a decade the sole time i have ever criticized your handling of any situation was the C$ disaster. so this is the second.

it's your show, but frankly you should feel embarrassed at this point. i assure you the majority of your users feel the same.

I honestly dont care who was "old school" here as this same old statement keeps coming up. Like a few of you keep putting on your old high school letter men jackets and just want to talk about the old days.

my back is spasmed and has been, so my comprehensive reading/ short term memory is lacking.

[go_buccos]

My solution seems to be working so far.

desertrunner is still posting, but is no longer overwhelming the forum. So he still gets to be here and pahtipicate, but is no longer dominating the forum. That's what I was going for here.

Sorry, I disagree, its NOT working. You let one person whine and cry and you did a typical knee jerk reaction to make him feel better and save face in the community. What you should have done instead was keep your word to not censor people here and not play favorites of- Sonatine can overwhelm thew board with AI screen shots and gay porn, but penalize desertrunner instead.

The coding not working I can start a new thread and I just dont have the desire to be censured here and participate. I was NOT "overwhelming the forum", Sonatine does that. in post #1, we only had ONE person cry and whine because something bothered him. As another member said- Just ignore something that bothers you. I say- scroll past. I have lectured people on the internet for years advising them- its just words on a screen that are triggering you, dont let it. Sadly, the board will die again with less participation, but Walt and BCR are gone, so maybe not.

Sorry Druff, I am not participating because of the punishment put on, its just not worth my time here to get censored as you have different rules for different members. Other members agree with me and have told you, but you wont listen. So NO, the solution is not working and the code is buggy that there is no desire to participate here. You let one member whine and cry to you and you let them control you. Its been a FAIL.

Also, it is NOT 7 posts a day, its one post a day and I cant start a thread, you should be more honest here. Its just not worth participating here now. And NO, I will NOT be participating much or not at all.

And here it is, Druff... the same reply to your...what...250th attempt at explaining to DR what got him restricted?

And again, he calls you a liar and tells you to eat shit.

Druff, at some point you simply *have* to wrap your head around the fact that this forum is a literal addiction for him. Despite his claims of spending "less than hour a day" on PFA, (LO FUCKING L) there is no way IN HELL he could post at that volume, as well as read/reply to as many posts as he did in anything under 4 hours. Pick some random day in, let's say, June of this year, and compile all the time stamps from his posts. I'm sort of guessing here, but I would wager they are spread over AT MINIMUM an 8-10 hour time period. He's not going to change his posting habits, ever. He would have done so by now if that were really his intent.

You would be doing yourself and the rest of a favor by perma-banning him, but not nearly as big a favor as you would be doing Desertrunner himself.

[lol wow]

jesus christ can you gay nerds calm down about this guy its a fucking retarded forum

i am grateful (usually) for what you have provided us here. i have publicly and privately told you as much. i believe in over a decade the sole time i have ever criticized your handling of any situation was the C$ disaster. so this is the second.

it's your show, but frankly you should feel embarrassed at this point. i assure you the majority of your users feel the same.

He's been restricted, and I believe that solution is working out.

With 7 posts per day, there is no way he can dominate the forum.

The restriction will not be lifted until I believe he "gets it" regarding what PFA is and isn't. If that never happens, the restriction will be permanent.

It gives me no pleasure to do this, but it had to happen for the good of the forum. If desertrunner still thinks I'm incorrect here, he's welcome to think that (and express it), but I've made my decision.

[lol wow]

we will only scam like sal because he has a boat but humanity literally could depend on draining your jew blood for oil so the rest of us can live

[lol wow]

rofl how do you nerds take yourselves this serious todge i insist you restrict me to zero posts a day until dr is allowed 12 posts a day
