And how do we get a free Palestine? Well, I could write a large paragraph of text that nobody would read; so I'll go with the simpler option: Sanction Israhell, withdraw all military aid and arm freedom fighters.

Sounds like hard work, Laurenorpony. Can I just collect so many cereal packets instead?

Sure.

My I ask your username?

@ exian LMFAO

@ evie.

I was banned for some of the stupid reason ever, mispelling a few words that's it though. It was like 18 years ago or so though today, and I had probably 2 or 3 accounts though. Don't tell ! Lol. But either way I don't remember the user names. I held my authority at that forum though, through the long years, and managed to hold it so strongly that I still feel as if I haunch over that forum.

.....

Were there very many philosophy forums in 1998?

I can say Benton that if you hold yourself as well as you have done here you'll be elevated to the level of owner and supreme leader of all the atheists.

Hawhaw.

As far as I can remember, there were really only the one ,but a few years after there were tons of "Objectivist" forums I surfed them more than probably any books I've read. Didn't actually post on one but I would have done really well. I liked their style, they tend to post about one particular topic on long and lengthy pages of posts, lengthy responses, some short, but all about one particular "objectivist" topic. That forum anyway the one I'm refering to was the best. I liked it. I remember only from like 98-03 there were only like 4 but slowly there began to be more like around 2003 there were probably 50. Probably only like 100 different ones today. But there was only the one as far as I remember, maybe 2 or 3 though. Philosophyforums.com was really popular, at least I thought. Definitely it was the best.

Really more like 22-23 years ago, when the internet was just starting, I remember that like it was yesterday, I remember when PF just hit, well not exactly that, but around this time it did hit and it was probably the only one up until... well I didn't surf the net so I didn't know.

mr drfuzzy You've got to read the longer post I responded to you.... Check it out!

What were those really early chat rooms called?  Where it was just text - no graphics of any kind.  I do remember them.  I don't know that it was Philosophy Forums, but they were very popular . . . until better formats came along, of course.
