You took part in that thread though.
Nodrog made an attack at PB as a whole, not certain individuals.
And horn no one was here to beg people to go to PB.
PB was mentioned in bad light to start off with, people are only defending it just like GD members would if their community was being slagged off..

and whats GD? Brookside?
edit : looking at the wiki entry for it, its actually much closer to the mark then i would have thought...

Re: Internet forums
the point is that both gd and pb were criticised in the original thread starting post.
but pb has a 'mitchell brothers' attitude to criticism.

The difference is the attitude. Because deffeh (in his 'wisdom' - which i am known to question) foolishly said an honest thing about pb and an honest thing about gd. we have seen a never ending succession of over reaction by pb supporters.
the fact is that pb is purile and childish. the pb supporters would look much better and achieve much more (neg repping me really doesn't achieve that much) if they simply admitted that they like being purile and childish.
the pb 'response' to an uncontroversial truth has been absurd. and i love them well and know them well and shall tell them to their face on the 14th (why oh why i can say the same thing to a person but if i type it i am satan has been a long running curiosity for me). But frankly they are lying through their fingers and spreading the most pathetically transparent ad hominems around as though by telling the truth deffeh had done some awful thing.

As opposed to GD?
Both forums have their childish members who drag the average down but i dont see you condemning GD for it. What has PB got that warrants the special treatment?

Im guessing you are referring to the one by maladoni and the one tomkat made against jbg ( which was probably more about the spat rg. a thread that jbg ruined )
Now, take a good look at nodrogs + jbgs posts yahwe. plenty of ad hominem to go round and quite bitter at times.
if you consider PB childish on the basis of individuals then it is hipocritical ( and somewhat dishonest ) not to consider GD the same

well actually it isn't.
your arguments are turgid dull and wrong. you are in fact arguing not against what i type but against what you want to argue about.
The posts of skiddy, maladoni, minty, nadar, ste and (dare we mention) yourself have shown this absurd silliness.
in case you missed my point:
JUST ADMIT THAT YOU LIKE BEING PURILE AND CHILDISH RATHER THAN TRYING TO PUSH WATER UPHILL BY SAYING THAT YOU ARE NOT CHILDISH AND PURILE
GD doesn't need defending and if it does need defending then i'll be damned if i'm going to do it. Gd is not a religion. it's not a clique. it doesn't improve your life by membership. And it doesn't seem to be particularly good at the moment.
pb doesn't understand. all the names i typed above ... they don't understand at all.

Admit to something you have constructed out of thin air without performing any actual research into the matter?
Thats as retarded a thing to do as it is for a jury to toss a coin to determine guilt or innocence.

The board, no. The actions of some of its members, yes and ultimately only those members can defend themselves. I agree with you that this board does not tend to be terribly good right now

Re: Internet forums
yahwe is just bitter because he got banned from pb for saying that pb wouldn't be able to thrive without him and got proved massively wrong.
The truth is that on PB anything goes - if people want to be childish then that is fine, if they want to be serious that is fine, if they want to post hundreds of threads on football that is fine, if they want to post attention whoring threads that is fine and if they want to post random crap jokes that they got in emails that is also fine.
On GD it is not fine.
Now I still like GD and I have posted threads on here that I wouldn't post on PB. But mainly, as most people have found, there are many more threads that can be posted on pb that can't be posted here because of the reaction it receives.
It's a young growing community. This is an old shrinking community.
But mainly - they are both different forums.
Anyway, maybe we should stop now.

I fear the limits of the pb sales pitch are in the salesmen.
it doesn't need to be (as any good salesman will tell you) prohibitive to a sale that your product is crap.
but bless you all. you are bloody awful at sales.

Re: Internet forums
I am not really sure I am comfortable idea with generic forums. Setting up a forum for the basis of discussions seems a little too naked in its intentions, it's like going to a singles night. Er, I imaigne.
I like PA because it is a happy accident I post here. And most people who are here are likewise here as a side-effect of something else - they liked a silly spreadsheet game centred around maths and politics. This means we have a certain type of community - if nothing else, maths, economics and politics degrees must be 5x as common as in the normal population.
Likewise, I will sometimes post on the forums of a particular band, night-club or programming thingie. But "general forums" have always left me cold, which is possibly why I've not gone for a SA or PB account.

You don't spread ad hominems around? Come on, Yahwe, don't be a hypocrite.
You seem to have some kind of fetish towards PB. Wherever it's mentioned you start rabbling on about how shit the place and its member is. If you want to believe we're all a bunch of childish, unintelligent morons, then fine, believe it, but stop going on about it on every opportunity. In all honesty, I doubt anyone cares.
I believe you're a big arrogant deepshit (towards people), but it's not like I'm rabbling on about it every God damn time you make a post, is it?

Re: Internet forums
Yahwe actually has made some excellent points.
Deffeh criticised both GD and PB.
The GD "regulars" simply took on board what he said, and maturely suggested other places he could post alongside GD.
The PB "regulars" took it as a direct insult, and took it upon themselves to defend the place to the point where they felt they needed to insult another poster at a personal (and frankly, quite immature) level. Step back and look at yourselves, guys. You've all rabbled together in an angry mob.

Re: Internet forums
In fairness, I think I've tried to post quite objectively in this thread - mainly because I still like GD and don't want to alienate myself by arguing with everyone.
Try being more careful when you say "You've all rabbled together"

Re: Internet forums
It's this sort of bickering which puts people off participating in this forum.
I've had several accounts here over the years, and every time I think perhaps I'd like to give GD a try again, just browsing through the threads puts me off.
It's a terribly hostile place really.

Yes & No.
No PB member took anything as a direct insult until Nodrog's post (post #19)
Once he claimed "PB is almost uniformly filled with terrible human beings" I think we had every right to take it as a direct insult

I post on PB as much as I post on GD so I'm one of those "terrible human beings" but I didn't take it as an insult!

Re: Internet forums
Deffeh starts thread about looking for a new internet forum. Nodrog expresses opinion concerning pb in response to deffeh. pb posters then fag up thread with posts about pb that, judging from the first post, deffeh wasn't interested in. JBG bans people who continue fagging up thread.
Only one of those hasn't happened yet. Try to guess which, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Re: Internet forums
BTW i've stopped posting as much because:
1.) I dont really have access to the internet at the moment.
2.) I made a decision about a year ago (maybe a bit more) to stop chronicling my life online for two reasons. Firstly i was starting to get worried about the possibility of real people finding out about my actions. Secondly i felt that as my stories basically revolved around constant failure they might have some kind of reinforcing behavioural effect (i.e. i'd **** things up just for the amusement of having a good story). I wanted to break that cycle. Without my stories i'm not as good as a poster. I mean i write the occassional one liner or so that i find funny that i post without regard for whether anybody else appreciates it. As such i'm probably no great loss.

uh huh. Remind me, where in the forum rules is 'fagging up a thread' defined or even listed as a bannable offense? Clause one only deals with actions to threads, not actions to users.
amusingly enough if you do ban people for it you'd have to ban yourself along with others for what was done to tomkats thread to avoid hypocrisy

Re: Internet forums
I think it boils down to the fact that we don't have discussions here anymore, we basically know eachother well enough that we don't need to post opinions on things or get stuck to agree to disagree.
I miss the days we tried to **** over the DF3 forums.
