In fact he managed it relentlessly.

[Bob]Shut up Eurocom!!!

I thought he was funny sometimes...

To my recollection he is going on active service in the army reserves. Where and for how long I can't remember, but he has said almost point blank that it ain't Iraq.

What's the Newsmax forums?

Theben · December 29, 2003, 23:40

Newsmax is an ultra-right wing U.S. site. About 3 years ago, someone (Stefu?) found the site and several of us leftists went over there and terrorized the locals. It would've been a minor incident that would've lasted no more than a couple of days, except then Black Dragon told them where we came from. So then several newmaxians (as we called them) came over here. Most of their posters left after a short while, but a few stayed, and some of our people frequented their forums (stewie, in particular, enjoyed trolling over there; they were unmoderated). Actually I think we benefitted from that since we got a few intelligent posters out of them. But I don't recall seeing any newsmaxians around here lately.
And the forums over there no longer exist.

Theben · December 29, 2003, 23:47

Whoa. Un Horror, it's really weird seeing your old av and then flipping to a new page and it's completely different. Freaky too.

Since when?

That's scary

--
I remember my own brief excursion to Newsmax... (I'm a political centrist through and through) I was cussed out and made fun of because of my user name

and they didn't even listen to a word I had to say... They came across as the biggest group of racist bigots I ever met!

Their plan for stopping terrorism in america was to kick ALL the mexican's out of america... including 3rd generation mexican-americans becuase they were "*********" and stealing american jobs and ruining the economy and wanted to steal the south and hated america and etc. etc.

Every time I tried to talk reason to them, even somewhat siding with them on a hardline against illegal immigration, they called me a communist liberal

and then proceeded to degrade mexicans. ugh. I couldn't stand it.

I created a DL on their forum that agreed with them in every way... but for the most racist and idiotic reasons. They couldn't grasp the point

They were too stupid to realize that I was spoofing them

So I left

Darkcloud, the Newsmax forums shut down soon after 9/11 IIRC. So I doubt Rand is still there.

hmm.. they were around december 2001... and I suppose you're right, I couldn't find them when I last looked for them in March 2003 or so... I just thought they were buried...

Strange isn't it how things change- I wonder why they were shut down?

I suppose theben's probably correct on his assumption

And Imran, Imran, of all people, was a communist.

Yeah, they were nuts.

Kuciwalker · December 30, 2003, 14:35

I'm sure they would call Fez a marxist

Chilean President™ · December 30, 2003, 15:20

I found this News Max site. Although there isn't any forum over there, it seems to be a very (American) conservative site

I'm a political center-right guy, but I think those people would consider myself as a commie

Immortal Wombat · December 30, 2003, 18:06

Yup. That's the one. No forums anymore. I think it was the Afghan war that killed it for good. It got utterly out of hand. Load of raving nutbars most of them. Oh, except Lincoln of course. He's from there and still here occasionally.

Ecthy · December 30, 2003, 18:28

Whatever happened to 1212 Problem?

Hueij · December 30, 2003, 18:33

Now you know how us Euro's feel here among all you USsians

Ecthy · December 30, 2003, 19:10

or to Hueij? anyone noticed him around?

No, just gay.

Although using as degrading language as possible.

The Pioneer · December 30, 2003, 22:22

After reading throough this thread I am very urious about panag? What's the story and why is it such a secret that can't be posted on this thread? PM, please ?

So long...

Mr. President · December 30, 2003, 22:31

Newsmax? What a bunch of communists.

Jon Shafer · December 31, 2003, 03:30

IS there a panag PM?

All I've seen is people asking for it and no one saying if they've actually recieved anything.

rah · December 31, 2003, 04:18

I don't know anything about a Panag PM. I know he got a pcr, but he did some posting afterwards. I must just not be in the loop.

Skanky Burns · December 31, 2003, 04:30

I took it as though people were asking for others to PM them about where Panag went to, due to the implication that the story wasn't to be posted here. Then again, I may have misread the thread.

There's no PM. Everone's just asking someone to tell them what happened, but no one knows. Anyways, I've done some looking around and the last panag post I can find is 11-17-03. However, it appears that panag is alive and well and posting under a different alias.

EDIT: Make that a few probably know, but are keeping quiet about it.
