It is thought that the audience for BFC has expired but evidence is lacking. So are you still alive?

Five responses in two days is disappointing and doesn't reflect the vibrant and substantial active user database. I forgot to say that in order to incentivise survey participation there is a prize draw for participants.

First prize - A night out with BOR
Second prize - Two nights out with BOR
Third prize - Three nights out with BOR

Wooden spoon - a week in a vegan refugee assistance commune with Sneerk. Bring own lube.

Prizes will be enforced within 28 days of competition result. Winners will be forbidden from wearing ear defenders for the duration of the prize night. A night is defined as being from 1700 - 0600 the following morning. The judges decision is final and the authenticity and independence of the draw will be guaranteed by the esteemed Professor Violent Wigglebottom OBE of Felchester University. No responsibility is accepted for any depression, anxiety, STI or unexpected bouts of rage incurred through acceptance of the prizes.

No, but if that's all you got you got it good. I've been hanging out on the DarkWeb but I can't see shit there and I walked into a firewall and broke my nodes.

I'm just glad you didn't include tentacle porn in the multiple choice above. Whew! Would've made it a difficult choice.

Like war with North Korea, Tentacle Porn is always on the table.

Yes. This is true.

But Nowonmai could have referenced the mullet haircut too. Mullet. Known throughout Florida as a haircut. If you want anything different, you have to specify, book in advance, and leave a deposit. Spooks the barbers, it does.

1. I once met Penta; had a bottle of wine with her. She's a very nice, educated, and well travelled lady. No idea why she got banned and tbh I don't really care.

2. The lack of fresh meat entering the BFC abattoir is probably due to the amount of obscene language smatterd within threads and tread titles. This has basically killed the BFC insofar as google search rankings are concerned. Therefore, very few new members... and underweight volume of web traffic. This would be easy enough to fix by removing all the 'fucks' and 'cunts' at database level.

What Dogtanian said. Although, I've never met or even talked with Penta. I always thought she provided some interesting viewpoints to the discussions.

I once got diagnosed with a brain tumor ( i still have it, it moves around and I can "hear it" but otherwise it is non malignant and not growing). When it happened the nice wine lady was nice and educated enough to try to convince me that my brain tumor had created a lapse of reason and that I should apologize to her and unban her. That I would be able to emerge with my honor intact because everyone would understand me being a jerk because I had a tumor.

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=61331&hilit=tumor

from e-mail she sent me wrote:now you have your excuse to start making things right without losing too much face. Could play it either way: either it was the tumour making you do bad stuff, or the brush with potentially serious illness is prompting you to acknowledge your mistakes and make peace.


Nice lady. Sees one of the most frightening moments in my life as being about her and as a way to get back in.

(yah, I know you are a reading this. my threat still stands, don't even think about it)

Also, as part of a harassment investigation in the UK she was "asked" by the police (banned by RYP and myself) to not have contact with certain people, the BFC and me. How many times have the cops dropped by to give the nice, well educated and well traveled lady a warning for violating one or more of these? At least twice. How many times has she emailed BFC people to come post about how decent and normal she is? Multiple (here is a hint: Decent and normal people never have to write others and say: "hey, you know how I am decent and normal? Right, anyway this tumor headed bastard needs to see this before he needs a drool bib and I need it so it will debase any investigation against me for harassment by being allowed back in the BFC by a moderator so I can help him not "lose too much face" )

The big killer of the BFC has been facebook. Which I am not a part of at all. She, and others are on facebook, I am not. The BFC is not needed by her for social reasons it is needed for legal reasons and as a possible defense against civil actions in the UK. (I know you are reading this now and saying "this must be answered" as long as it is not to me, go ahead.)

I do agree with Dogtanian on obscenity. It might be nice to have a refuge from it, since it is everyplace else...but imagine the increased emptiness of this place if I banned that? that would be funny.
