The little scraps of history one can still dig up (and which prove Hanover's account to be the pure unbiased truth): http://web.archive.org/web/200203...
Anybody who just goes out and claims to be a leader of all men without evidence is going to be an arrogant prick, obviously. This is not a case of the...
If they abide by the law, then they're not like you. You admitted to raping someone and attempting to rape someone else just in that post, as well as ...
Philosophy is not the only way to be a thinker, just the most pompous. On average, women tend to prefer collaborative problem solving. On average, phi...
Of course black holes are differentiated by tests and evidence. We discover or verify new things about them, like for example Hawking radiation, from ...
Big business is just a lot of people. Often a business is dysfunctional throughout, but even when it's running perfectly it's expressing the decisions...
Total Recall is essentially a global skeptical hypothesis. Every global skeptical hypothesis is fundamentally the same in form. While you can't dispro...
You have the right to change your mind about who you want to be. If not being that person depresses you to the point of suicide, I suggest invoking th...
If you'd rather just live without looking for answers on how to live, then certainly famine, greed and sex instincts will dominate life. If you'd rath...
Why don't we use animals to build large structures today? Because they don't have opposable thumbs and are quite hard to train into construction worke...
This all comes down to how you define sophisticated thoughts, so you need to answer this question first: Does a human raised by wolves have a human le...
Distortion was generously hosting PF on his server for years, which of course ended with the sale. I'm not in contact with him anymore though. Sorry t...
PF had ~50,000 members and ~1.3 million posts. It's sad that the new owner killed that completely. Unfortunately, there's no way I can share any old b...
ModBot's shouts are human-operated by someone who won a bet with me many years back. I shall not reveal who, but it's not me. By the way I've just sta...
^ For empty domains that may never have had any content or search engine ranking, those are extreme rip-off prices too. thephilosophyforum.com is at l...
The problem with sharing a backup of PF is legal issues. If we share it, I wouldn't be surprised if the one thing the owners bother to do is sic lawye...
Actually it has almost no custom code. They just can't seem to keep parts of the database from crashing, for some reason, perhaps suggesting they've s...
The only way a computer is going to guess your password is if it's a really bad password, and password crackers have the same chance of guessing your ...
A different bidder, who didn't win the bidding, told me that he felt PF would make $350 a month from a single banner ad per page. The site gets a lot ...
I'd suppose that from his point of view it's slander to bring up an incident for which he was found not guilty to make the implication that he was gui...
Fact is, on 99% of the internet, forum admins will delete any posts that attempt to encourage people to leave their site. I was banned from a forum on...
It seemed likely that Distortion wasn't going to be able to keep footing the $300+ monthly hosting bills much longer with the bad financial situation ...
Maybe so according to the notion that more = better, but the most fun times I had at PF were in '02-'05. For me, the discussions were more fun precise...
Libel against another website's owners is not a good way to get started. I suspect they have lawyers. And I find it very far-fetched that they're afte...
Wuli was Mr. "existence is demonstrably paradoxical". If you've read one of his posts, frankly I think you've read them all. As far as I know he just ...
Ah, you mean VM.US. That account was deleted, not banned. Deletion doesn't leave a record. I'll wait until he deletes an account that wasn't created s...
Please tell me the username so I can check it out quickly. I'm doubtful they have the technical skills to rewrite my forum script to remove the ban re...
He meant to keep me on as an admin from the start, but he failed to communicate it and I assumed the opposite. Pretty sure Nik is a real guy, not a so...
