attn dd; what happened to desertruiner's post restrictions?

[mickeycrimm]

I did not make these changes to run you off the system.

If you choose to leave, that's of course up to you.

I don't think you'll be able to make the case that you (or anyone) should have the right to occupy more than 16% of the front page. I have been very clear about not wanting that since I opened this site in early 2012.

What you also might not understand is the fact that this community does not want or need someone to come in and change things up. People here enjoy the general tone, pace, and quality of posts here. That's why they keep returning, even though forums are mostly obsolete in 2025. I know you believe that you're injecting life into the forum, and that you're improving things, but all you're doing is coming into a longtime space and telling the regulars how things need to be. That never goes over well, no matter what the setting.

The fact that other conservatives (such as 1dollarboxcar and Tellafriend) have turned against you should show you that it's not just political.

This community and its happiness is important to me, hence the reason I continue to run this forum despite the fact that it's often been a hassle and provides me little-to-no upside in poker or financially.

I try to consider what the members as a whole want/prefer when I make my decisions. I don't let people tell me what to do, but at the same time, community feedback very much informs a lot of my decisions both on the forum and radio show.

In general, the community feedback here is "desertrunner is overwhelming the forum, and we need less of him", and I can't fault them for thinking that, as you're definitely the most prolific user on here at the moment.

Again, I really suggest you move a lot of this over to Vegas Casino Talk, as that's more of a loose collection of advantage players and Vegas enthusiasts, and not as much as a community as this one. Over there I think people will more appreciate what you bring to the table. I am also more lenient about the quality and frequency of content on that site. I know you already have an account there.

Why advise just one person to post on VCT? Why not advise them all to do so?

desertrunner presently has 13 threads on the front page.

Obviously that means he can't make any new threads for awhile. I estimate it will be about 3 days until he can. Enjoy the break.

This is a new era of PFA where nobody can dominate the front page.

If Dessert stops dominating your forum it will be because the mean libpedotards are gonna dox him

[Gordman]

So weird how DR insists that he only spends 1 hour per day here...

Yet he was on for well over an hour this morning making his regular nonsensical posts, I logged in at around noon quick and he was here, and I logged in now and he's here. That is one hell of an hour!

Frankly, I normally truly don't give a shit how long someone spends here, but in his case, its just funny how consistently defensive he is on only being here for one hour a day

Dude, chill out, my office PC is on all day and it stays logged in, but physically on here less than an hour a day. And who actually cares about this old post info?

If your office pc is on and you're "logged in" as you say but not there, after a small amount of time, the username won't show up to other users as being logged in and active.

Otherwise, your username showing up means you have some type of recent activity on the site such as the page being up on your browser, or refreshing it, or posting.

What i mean is, I can be "logged in" but if im not active for an amount of time, it won't show up until im back. Druff can correct me if I'm wrong but this has been my basic understanding.

So anyway, why are you on PFA all day instead of working? Also, this isn't "old post info". You constantly rehash it like I stated earlier - and you are basically obsessive about informing everyone that you spend so little time here

THATS why I brought it up.

Yup. Even though one of those "meanies" already demonstrated to him a while back how mind boggling easy it would be to dox him if they really wanted to (which they didnt), since they already saw his info with zero effort due to his lack of security. I just don't think he even got the memo yet due to his tunnelvision and complete lack of self-awareness

[sonatine]

yeah his 'office'

where he conducts all his 'business'


you know, for his 'career'

desertrunner bringing the hits

I can not even imagine why someone would be totally obsessed over a complete stranger and trying so hard to calculate their online time on a poker site. Like most people, I am on and off my PC daily and there is no specific time frames or patterns, but knock yourself out.

Why advise just one person to post on VCT? Why not advise them all to do so?

I don't think most longtime members here have an interest in Vegas Casino Talk.

I was advising desertrunner because a lot of what he does here would be acceptable there, both from an admin standpoint and fellow users standpoint.

Oddly his reasoning not to do so is "that site's dead", which isn't true. It's less active than here, but it's not dead, and you'd think he would want to help make it more active. Instead, he wants to inject more activity onto PFA, where it's not wanted.

I've given up trying to reason this.

[desertrunner]

Sorry, Vegas Casino Talk is dead, no interest.

[Tellafriend]

Sorry, Vegas Casino Talk is dead, no interest.

wait, you said if druff implemented the new rule you were leaving.... something changed?

[Dan Druff]

It's fine if you have no interest. I'm not going to pressure anyone to post on a forum they don't enjoy.

I'm just saying that it seems your goals with PFA were to liven it up with a lot of posts, and to change the atmosphere.

Vegas Casino Talk needs more activity, so livening it up (within reason) would be welcomed. And there is no strong community there like there is here -- it's more of a mismosh of casino advantage players who enjoy the free speech environment. A lot of them also have an interest in Vegas and desert-related stories, which you do as well. Also, there are very few liberals on that site, as it very much leans right wing (a common theme in the advantage play community).

For all of these reasons, you would fit in way better over there than over here.

No Druff, its dead, been dead for a long time and besides all that info is over at the Vegas Message Board. Unfortunately, I think PFA will die out again soon...and I was not trying "liven it up", I/we just got tired of the same old liberal BS here and I'm not even conservative.

There are 13 threads with activity in the past week, in the Las Vegas forum alone.

So, to review....

You are trying to inject new activity on a forum which clearly doesn't want it, and you are refusing to go to my other forum where the same activity would likely be welcomed.

Makes loads of sense.

No one gives a fuck about you and you’re “we” are Mickey, boz, of Vegas Casino Talk and I’m sure why it’s dead, and split. Garrett when he’s improperly medicated. No one gives a fuck about what you think or feel or wish. You’re an irrelevant loser and fuck snow tracks

No, again, I am not trying to do anything here and this board is mostly liberal ran with liberal content. VXT has been dead for along time and what content there was lame. Again, can go over to the Vegas message board instead for Vegas stuff. PFA might die again as other members are leaving.

Except you I guess, you keep coming in here after threatening to leave.

[Tellafriend]

you fucking buffoon.

that screen shot is likely from yesterday or even earlier as EOT hasn't been posted in today. so you have been holding onto it to try to make some point that you are intellectually incapable of doing using your ordinary vernacular.. just like an autist.. draw us a picture w/ your finger paint next time..

just take your make a wish ass back to where you came from.

[BCR]

Druff the right wing board full of retarded people like me where I’d fit in is lame and boring so please let me ruin your other site.

This board isn't liberal-run because I'm the only one who runs it, and I am nowhere near liberal.

You seem to believe you need to counter "liberal" content here, but why? I am happy there is some left wing content on PFA. I like diversity of thought and opinion. I would not want PFA to be a conservative echo chamber, nor would I enjoy it if it were all liberal.

How is PFA going to die if you leave? It's actually the opposite. If I allow PFA to continue on its current course with your domination of the forum, longtime good posters will leave and go elsewhere, and that will be the beginning of the end of the forum.

As anyone will tell you, I don't let anyone here control what I do. I take everyone's opinions into consideration, but ultimately I decide for myself what is best. If your detractors here had their way, you'd have been re-banned a long time ago. You aren't, so that should show you that none of them control my actions.

In any case, there is no need to continue arguing this. My mind is completely made up.

Here are the facts:

1) The new restriction written into the software (applying to all users) will stand, and I am not removing it. At most I will slightly tweak it, but I don't even think that will be necessary.

2) The opinions of longtime contributing forum members mean a lot to me, regarding how this forum is run. I will ultimately do what I feel is correct, but I also listen very closely to what they collectively have to say, as the forum is for all of us, not just me.

3) The forum might eventually die one day, because all forums are going in that direction. However, it will die MUCH sooner if I let you attempt to shape the forum in the manner which you seem to want, or if I let you post as much as you want.

4) The presence of "liberals" on this forum does not bother me, and I don't feel we need tons of threads to counter their presence. I do just fine countering them on my own, as do some other right-leaning users who push back on them.


BOTTOM LINE: Your version of help on this forum is not wanted or needed. I do enjoy some of the threads/topics you bring, and as you've seen, some of it gets real engagement. If you made fewer posts/threads and were less combative to those who don't like you, the impression of you here would be much different.
