I think that I could persuade the Shred posse contingent to support you.

I won't hold it against you if you can't. As long as I got you haha.  There never was a lot lost between me and the kiddie crew here.   Granted it was many years ago back in the good old days, back when I was...  rougher.. and they... still no idea what to do with girls much less how the world really worked haha... but perhaps time healed those wounds.

or perhaps they finally grew up LOL

LOL fail... you ain't cut out for the Council...  Heart

you should have asked if you got a complementary gun and a knife...   or had to provide your own

which is why the Council of 5 will be heavily stacked with the former AR hit squad. They get first dibs and offers. We knew how to kick ass, drink beer, chase women (and men!), have fun and yet no one did harder dirtier thankless work for this site.


The gavel will be used to shove the working end up peoples arses that ask if "*blank band/album* is overhyped", or create polls asking if "Sgt Pepper is prog?"........the name tag will say "Kiss my poo-poo brown colored hispanic arse".

If I were m@x I'd wait until I find someone who shares my views and tastes, so my old baby wasn't hijacked into something I didn't want to visit anymore.

I think PA stopped being Max' baby a loooooooooong time ago.
He made a real baby in real life instead

I've always admired a responsible adult. Until now, perhaps. LOL

I have never had the crappy cha cha thing, which I think is something to do with posting on my iPad.

I have tonight, though, started to get a message telling me the intertit is redirecting me to PA, checking that the site is safe?

I have never seen this before, but I was kicked out a couple of times with the forum permission error message.

^ This is some new sh*te that seems to have started today.

Because posting here was just too damn easy.

I wouldn't mind, but I post at another board which is significantly larger and busier than this one, and they never felt the need to make anyone identify road signs, repeatedly promise not to be a robot, or witness utterly pointless delaying screens about how damn safe things are. I'm just having a guess but I reckon it could be that said other board is run by people who give a damn about the user base, and even hope to maintain or expand it.

A cynic might posit the following thesis:

1. PA is commercially worthless and unsaleable. The advertising revenue to be derived from its ever-shrinking userbase of ageing and penniless music obsessives, oddballs and sexual perverts does not defray the server costs.

2. However, just shutting the site down would carry certain risks given that some of said obsessives have pyschological characteristics that uncannily fit the Unabomber template in the FBI / Ladybird book of criminal profiling.

3. Therefore it's preferable to systematically drive away the userbase by making the site more and more unusable until there are only three or four prog nerds left. Because if there are less than five potential suspects, and policemen can count up to five (they have fingers) it would be too risky for someone to eighty-six the site owner.

I have almost completely stopped using emoticons now because they increase the chance that my post will be declined. Now people can't tell when I'm sarcastic, joking or serious, lol

yup, I've experienced this this morning at work... but not at home during the w-e (though I'm not sure I actually logged in)
 
And last Friday, I couldn't access some album pages , because of potential sexual contents.

Maybe I missed the explanation...but why are Captchas here on the forum? Is this a web site choice ....the mods...or what?
