Yes, it's my fault. Ban me, smite me, do whatever. I just didn't want His Hankness to get away with giving the impression that HE had helped "move" the PF to this site. You could say he was partly responsible, because of his actions, but to say that the PF had been moved here is misleading. I just wanted him to reword it. If it has caused any problems, I apologize. I'll leave His Hankness alone from now on. I would not say it was your fault. Like many here you just did not know how to take a redirect of one web site without any warning to a web site your were not expecting to be sent to. After all, some were redirect while going in to look up older posts. Where the format was different and the names you were use to seeing were not there. You (like many here) felt it strange that he follow us here. And knowing his moods, there is a chance if something said here upset him, he could take it out on the user there. Which may be why some people are not using there old names. Not knowing the reason why Hank redirected the link to here, I could not say it was his fault, except for losing the history that was in the old forums. That was his fault, and most likely he would have deleted them anyway. After all, they were no longer needed by him. Granted, we know why he said he did it, but as far as I know he asked no one here there view on it. Better at times to ask forgiveness then permission I guess. On reflection, perhaps the only surprise is that he is using the same handle here that he is using there. Just my 2 cents worth.

There is a lot of stuff interconnected with the PF forum - reps and subscriptions. I see he got rid of all the subscriptions. The rep comments are still there with the link to the PG message. I dont really see him deleting those unless people keep clicking on them. After doing that once, what is the point???

Does anyone see this board surviving without Hank's "semi-official endorsement"?
I do.

Surviving, yes it could. Just take a look at the guest list sometime.
Some people like a good fight with name calling and all that goes with all that goes with it.
Others like a good clean exchange of facts.
Time will tell how this form survives. The first few members will have a lot to do with it, by how any disagreement is taken care of.
Till then, many will just keep dropping by as guests and adding a different view whenever it hits there fancy.

Which strikes me as a strange statement to make... The forum we came from was more like a left wing circle jerk, and yet the right wingers hung in there and kept swinging no matter how far left it seem to be.

Guess we all see things a bit different. For I am sure a few here would not agree with me. Still, it is all in how you see it.

I'll really, really miss him. Enjoy your circle jerk... I'm sure all these people are going out of their way to find a site where conservative opinions are presented and accepted in an evenly balanced and open-minded atmosphere of constructive discussion.

The biggest whiner in my former workplace was nicknamed " Diapers."
As in " Hey Diapers, shut the hell up."

Actually I was very surprised when Hank responded to a paper letter I sent him requiring restitution (is that the right word here?) to the forums. He sent me an email with the URL for this board.
Evan
btw those of you who still have access to the boards and read Excelsior's BEP posts, has there been a marked increase in bill production? (I am too lazy to go to the BEP site myself or get my gf to set up a fake account for me). I am expecting that there will be. Not to get political, the new administration will be printing money to pay for the new president's programs.
Good for Georgers, bad for inflation and the already piss-poor economy.
