Few options re: the future of PDF

[Indos]

Yeah same here. ********** is unfortunately dominated by people like Nilgiri, and I believe he convinced admin brothers over there to not having me as a member under any account (he has personal hatred for me and other Bangladeshis), even if I "behave myself". He has already done this several times. Therefore ********** is more or less "Bangladesh-proof" forum.

Brothers like @MMM-E, @Joe Shearer and @Oublious may know more.

The same rules will apply to other Bangladeshis.

I had already decided to post occasionally here with longer posts and not engage with trolls - you may see I have ignored hundreds of them (mostly unfortunately from India) despite name-calling and provocations even yesterday. If people have personal hatred for you because of your flag what can you do? This is just not in PDF, it's all over social media. Hindutvabadis (even those in Indian cabinet) have infinite hate for Bangladeshis. But - we will persist.

I don't see me being a problem, except some Indian nationalists deciding things from a position of power which they have in **********.

What other option is there? Not going to Bharat Rakshak like other Indians, that is for sure.

Don't know if there is another Pakistani option.

I have other account in here (Indos), you can quote me in Indonesia Defense Forum thread, but I will not be active there, just in case you want to convey something important.

Hello @waz bhai and @WebMaster bhai, a few thoughts re: the future of PDF.

• I realize we have admins in danger because of content published here - I will personally try my level best to be careful. But then - being an outsider and a non-Pakistani - I have never criticized the armed forces of Pakistan. We should all try to follow this precept. My best wishes on the well being and safety of all admins living in Pakistan at this time.
• I hope to drastically tone down some of my posts - not proud of some occasional unbalanced comments I have made in the past. Hope all see my flaws with forgiving eyes from now on.
• If money is an issue, I am willing to pitch in some to save PDF - just tell me where to contribute in DM. I am sure some dedicated members would be more than willing to save PDF using monthly or quarterly Paypal dues.
• Re: the Bangladesh section - if you guys need me to take up responsibilities, I am very willing to do so to save the forum on an ongoing basis. However I also have a job and family responsibilities, so while I am willing, I also have minor limitations.
• As long as I am living - I hope to do my level best in saving PDF.

Only option is owner sells it to another person outside of army judristication but this won't happen, as it should have happened long ago

Yeah same here. Defense Hub is unfortunately dominated by people like Nilgiri, and I believe he convinced admin brothers over there to not having me as a member under any account (he has personal hatred for me and other Bangladeshis), even if I "behave myself". He has already done this several times. Therefore Defense Hub is more or less "Bangladesh-proof" forum although Turkey as a country is a large defence supplier to Bangladesh.

I had an account named Bilal99 over there which is not active anymore - I believe they disabled it without showing any cause. The same rules will apply to other Bangladeshis or Pakistanis, whenever they "feel like it".

Brothers like @MMM-E, @Joe Shearer and @Oublious may know more.

Maybe I will open up our own Bangladeshi forum, eh @saif, @Destranator, @VikingRaider, @Homo Sapiens and @Avicenna bhais?

The name hopefully will be along the lines of "BanglaDefence" or "BanDef" maybe.

Don't know if there is another Pakistani option.

Indian members and mods are heavily involved on defence hub. That is not a forum for most PDF members to participate.

I don't think the shut down was caused by posts of foreign nationals. Pakistanis have been posting a lot of deeply creative stuff against the army in Pakistani sections. Their reaction was expected.

The best way forward for admins is to redirect the site to a .com domain and transfer ownership of the site to someone based outside of Pakistan. This will keep the current community alive with a domain outside the reach of thugs.
.pk domain is all they can control. They cannot control the hosting which I am sure is outside of Pakistan.

Can't do now since owners are ....wel..u know what I mean

Ispr closing what could have been a free propoganda machine is just sad

ye lungi gya maa xudane.. tu aaja d hub pe

 

[ziaulislam]

PDF was my first and only forum for defense

Won't go another forum

Rest in piece pdf

Who knows after 6 years it may be resurrected once Asim munir is gone after his extension

 

[leonblack08]

Never got comfortable with any other forum. Once PDF closes, that will be the end for me too.

 

[Zarvan]

Yes please don't shut this forum I hope it keeps going.

Although to some, this is what it feels like, fret not. Allah has glad tidings for your future Insha Allah.

[Yoonus 10:62-64]

“And it will be said to those who feared Allah , "What did your Lord send down?" They will say, "[That which is] good." For those who do good in this world is good; and the home of the Hereafter is better. And how excellent is the home of the righteous....

 

[Samlee]

Good intentions but unfortunately we all are guests here for a while. Sad situation.

Even GVS and Siasat.pk Was Banned And We Can Still Access Via Proxy.Is PDF Getting Shut Down or Just Banned???

 

[Destranator]

Never got comfortable with any other forum. Once PDF closes, that will be the end for me too.

What if Amra Khan takes over PDF?

 

[Joe Shearer]

Whatever happens to the future of the forum, Insha-Allah hoping you gentlemen who are consultants or seniors (including @Joe Shearer dada and @Indos brother) hopefully will remember me (I am sure you guys have my email). Please reach out if you are coming back with a renewed effort at any time. This was my place to relax for a while, will miss interacting with all my friends here.

I don't remember your e-mail, but mine is in my signature, and I hope you will use it liberally. I, too, will regret the forum passing; for me, too, this was a place to relax for a while.

This is the only .pk site I have found worth visiting and they are shutting it down.
Online properties like these take decades to build and serve many good purposes. ispr doesn't deserve anything good.

 

[KAL-EL]

Yes please don't shut this forum I hope it keeps going.

For whatever it's worth, I want to give you credit for posting many informative military articles, and not falling prey to the hyper-nationalistic drama

 

[indushek]

If the mods manage to get some alternate option, do let us members know.

Hope things work out, as I am not interested in going to any other Defense forums. This is the first one I joined
