Yes true ... this forum used to be a learning source rather than a battleground
Back in 2008, there were only two subjects on this forum MQM and Religion
MQM was first party which started using it for her propaganda platform,
anyone remember Jury? a new thread every ten minutes telling how kind and caring MQM is..
some old memories:
Abbassi Bhai used to be what Waseem is today but would not spare a single word
Moderators were usually chosen from senior members
who would put often put me behind bars for saying nice words for MQM
Members I envy for their knowledge in different categories and in order of their membership seniority
taul, Pakistani1947, suchbolo, QaisarMirza, Karachiwala, drkhan22, sameer, my mentor in religious affairs
Night-Hawk, Bret-Hawk, Saeenjee, Zaidi Qasim, Atif, tariisb, JamhoorPasand, Democrate, Annie, for reasoned arguments
Bu-turabi, Atif, tariisb,Zaidi Qasim, barca, Mcbeth, Ghazali, Shami for Urdu writing
and one only for Shakespearean English - Bret Hawk
Saeenjee, Nadan, Abdu Haadi, for preaching tolerance
I am a member since 2008 but Abbassi banned that ID and I created GeoG in 2010
I used to be a staunch supporter of PTI, most vocal on forum back in 2008
and i was banned more often than not, now other way round :) ....
