Hi Buddies!

[Condor]

Wow!!
What a surprise to see almost everyone here- Muradk, Agno_Muslim, Jana, Al-Zakir, S-2, Jako, Kasrkin, MastanKhan and lots of others........ seems all the old lot has moved in here - feels like home again.
Oops!! forgot to mention about myself - I was just banned from Defence Pk sometime back by the Webbie of that site on the trumped up premise of being an old banned member, and on the issue of trying to stir up trouble.
Of course I have never been banned before and neither I was trying to create any trouble on that particular thread. Those who know me from that forum(Condor) will also know that I am quite outspoken and tend to go against the flow.
Well, under the circumstances am I still welcome here, Neo?

Welcome aboard Condor. Of course everyone who's willing to contribute to healthy debates is welcome.
Enjoy your stay!

Oh what a great crowd here.

Thank you Selma. This has all the ingredients to be a great forum. Though it may not have the glitz of the rival forums but it does have members who can take it to the heights with their ideas and discussions - which exactly I feel is constrained now due to dual membership in which they are restricted/discouraged to participate here.
I am sure the senior members are disenchanted with the quality of materials now being put up on those forums and mostly stay away.
I suggest those already here to participate more vigorously in discussions on a myriad of issues that attracts the disenchanted to join in the discussions here.
Believe me there is nothing more enticing for an individual than a great intellectual debate.

Another big change I wud like to see here is Neo change his icon. It is depressing.
What say Selma?


sonicboom: Don't we know each other from before?

Nice reply Condor, very wel said.
I was never very active in other fora but fell in love with this one.
We have a bunch of great people here, I'm sure we have the potential to become the best Pakistani forum.

A preferred thing Selma, if you ask me is to have this place as regional
watering hole and not solely Pakistan specific.
Iran and India are also major players and stake holders in the game,
as are the US, China and in the end it is people that matter - not the boundaries.

Ironically, Afghanistan which is dirt poor itself, holds the KEY of energy flow from the Energy rich Caspian basin into two of the world's largest Energy hungry giants - India and China, which in turn provide the services and goods that keep the wheel of the global economy spinning.

Let us have this Forum be seen as providing insights to issues and problems and their solutions - a ready reference for countries and Govts to set their pace by.
