SBF Success, Endurance ..............Future?

[scroobal]

Ever wondered why SBF forum became a roaring success despite being closely associated with a pornsite of a similiar name.

Ever wondered why despite the amount of mayhem, chaos, clones, it still yielded gems every now and then.

Ever wonder why it took 2 years before the gold seams appeared.

Ever wondered its value to potential emigrants.

Ever wondered why Journalist had to to keep tabs on SBF.

Ever wondered why its became the no-holds barred political forum. Ever wondered why it became useful during the run-up to a GE.

Ever wondered why despite local and foreign press attempts to find Sam, its kept leading to an innocuous 2nd hand card dealership in Auckland. Ever wondered why despite Time Magazine's prediction of Jan 2001, less than 2 years after it began that it will be closed down, it has survived another 7 years.

Ever wondered why people along the corridors of power do see snippets of SBF posts. Ever wondered why a single post from SBF sent NKF to the cleaners. Ever wondered who was Mr.Tan.

Ever wondered why insiders have a place in SBF. Ever wondered why there are people who can see the wheat for the chaff.

Ever wondered why it moved from Delphi to VBulletin? Ever heard about Walt Howe?

Ever wondered why, people who give advice on security also acknowledge PMs? Ever heard of social engineering.

Ever wondered why, the best days of SBF was when content was not copying news from the tabloids but threads started by forummers from all walks of life and all matters from the trivia to high intrigue.

Ever wondered why Hardware Zone was bought by SPH?

Ever wondered why the porn site cover was a blessing?

Ever wonder about anything? Or is that something best left to Government.

I'm situated half a world away at a Mac keyboard. If I could sit here and FORCE people to go to selected sites against their wishes, I'd be bigger than Google, Yahoo and Microsoft combined.:p

How to "force"? Show me which keys to type? I tried F O R C E but nothing happened.

I have great faith in Sammy Boy forum whether it is the seedy side one or the cynical one...and i feel it has finally come full circle..for too long Sam has leeched on to Delphi and I wonder why did he not do it any sooner considering he started SBF way much earlier...

Btw Boz why not merge both sites together rather then waste resources by having separate forums? Also makes it easier for people like us who needs to access both forums.

Don't think it is a good idea.

Different forums cater for different needs.

THis one is PG, the other one is RA.

Dear Scroobal,

1. Ever wonder why some people like to give themselves veiled praise?

2. Ever wonder why some people insist on dragging past conflicts into a new forum, and furthermore, pinning the blame entirely on one entity?

Think you are very sensitive.

Nothing to do with you bro. It was porn, race and religion.

but you see... our esteemed Ministers are not corrupt, but they're just the highest paid ministers in the world... likewise, our esteemed Ministers don't surf porn on the internet...

u see same thing, they are not corrupt but they are suspect to be corruptible if they are not well paid cos being underpaid they might just be tempted to corruption as in the case of Teh. So to prevent history from repeating itself they have to an antidote and the antidote is a indecent pay rise..

Bro, correction, only one denied surfing porn.
