Over-moderate, ban, cut posts, reduce visits = less revenue.
More posts, more visits, more revenue.
They know what they are doing and are doing it well.

Third: it ain't OUR forum. Never has been, never will be.
it's theirs, they just let us play here. And I thank them for that.

Second: I'm reminded of another car forum where the inmates too over the asylum and hijacked the software and content, claimed it was theirs.
Don't think that could ever happen here but lesson learned.

Fourth: Please deduct my 2020 annual subscription cost from my post hoar commission check, thanks
That might not have been Wayne's take, but Wayne ain't here no more. I was sort of a fan of Wayne having worked for him for a very short time. I try not to, but it would appear that I live in the past.

Pelican is a gem compared to most OT forums, and it has evolved. Not for the best in my mind and I think I find some agreement there. However, my opinion doesn't affect how the PPOT moves ahead, for better or for worse. Thankgod for the ignore feature.

The ones that complain the most seem to be the worst offenders. What I cannot understand is why so many people that never, ever visit or post in PARF want to keep the folks that enjoy posting there from doing so. Could it be that their position never seems to garner any support? Maybe a better argument vice trying to stifle debate would be a better tactic.

Why don't they close PARF (and be like some other automotive BBS)? Because it makes them money. Seriously?

Not a chance it makes them money.

Yo' CabsSuck, following my JB punishment, will you lift my band (as KC sez) from PARF?!?!

I'm not sure I understand the reason for this thread.

Eric is doing a really good job with OT.

$12 will not cover the volume of Blue Bombers that are required, Bobasaurous!
