Probably 16 years of being around, tons of content and a nonstop parade of 15 year olds obsessed with prank calls had something to do with it.

This message board got promoted simply by being the PLA forum. The PLA already had a good number of followers before this forum existed.

TOTSE died. I belive the 2 poster accounts (spam) and 14 Year olds asking how to make lysol bombs killed their board.

I dont want that trash on mine.  You can ask how fun things can be, but don't make a 1 post account to ask -

I see that...I guess starting with a site with MORE than a message board would give better results....

I let Cal build up the user base for PLA for a couple years and then BAM!  I stole them all.  I bet that's how he'd describe it anyway.

Nah, there were always plenty of people on the mailing list. The secret is your raw sexual magnetism

I built up the userbase for Cal on UPL before PLA had forums.

So really, you've stolen MY userbase!

The term 'userbase' sounds like a bunch of random accounts opened at once....

No way, you stole MY users from the PLA Yahoo List which I changed just for you to the PLA/UPL Yahoo List.  Here's proof!

(Guess I stole all the users from El Jefe in the beginning.)
