Can somebaody delete this thread as any sane discussion would be feeding trolls
I have also appreciated that - that is a positive sign from the DFI admins.Asim, the very fact that you are being allowed to post your view point in DFI, is quite commendable. I applaud Singh for this.
You have a right to running your website , whether in profit or loss that is your decision. However if it is found to be violating GOI's guidelines than the Govt. is free to crack down ( and also face criticism from within). However your assertion that GOI is behind the DDoS, is simply preposterous.
It has got nothing to do with DFI, everything has got do with GOI.Go to GOI in person along with your webmaster and try to resolve your matters.Otherwise they might want to meet you.I have also appreciated that - that is a positive sign from the DFI admins.
I have however offered and end to our feuds but that has not been accepted yet.
It's so funny.
1) First they blamed rival forums.
2) Then some ex defpk members.
3) Now Asim is blaming GoI.
I read on the other thread--Asim wrote that he didn't earn anything from defpk. But apparently he himself emailed those angry ex members not to open a new forum as defpk was his bread & butter. Also Neo who is supposed to be a friend of Asim is now a member of that other site opened by the angry crowd. Meanwhile cheenamalai is trying hard gather more donations. Not to mention his friend Tariq Khan is watching all of these with great interest.
I'll take your word for it, but you do understand that suspicions do arise when there is so much rabid hatred.Asim,
This much I know, whatever little that I know that is, DFI does not have the wherewithal to attack anyone.
The mods we currently have are impeccable. I would stake my reputation on that assertion. None of them fit the category, but some mistakes happen in the due course of time and once pointed out we do course correct.Personally, I have nothing to comment on your Forum except that some Moderators are over zealous and take religion more seriously than necessary or act more 'patriotic' than the ISI.
Both things are wrong, you know that. We have put up an official list of banned topics we don't want to see discussed on the forum - cow urine is one of themRemember the Urine controversy where one chap raised the issue of Hindus being cow urine drinker and I quoted Shahi Bukhari with the relevant quote that Prophet Mohammed advised the people to partake in consuming Camel's Urine for good health?
You and I know that nothing is in stasis. You met me as a teenager - now I'm in my 30s. A person grows up and new realizations come towards them. I would like to think as the years have gone by, my life has been on a course of continual improvement. That's the exact kind of spirit I bring to my profession.To imagine that your Moderators, who claim to know all about Islam and practically pose as mujtahid mutlaq , are so shallow and hide behind the burkha when things become uncomfortable.
I could go on, but why add to the rancour?
Just like defpk is an "international forum" according to Asim.Express tribune and Dawn are international media houses?
Hmmmm.
Don't be so quick to stake your personal honour.The mods we currently have are impeccable. I would stake my reputation on that assertion. None of them fit the category, but some mistakes happen in the due course of time and once pointed out we do course correct.
Good that some good has come out of it.Both things are wrong, you know that. We have put up an official list of banned topics we don't want to see discussed on the forum - cow urine is one of them
Good for you.You and I know that nothing is in stasis. You met me as a teenager - now I'm in my 30s. A person grows up and new realizations come towards them. I would like to think as the years have gone by, my life has been on a course of continual improvement. That's the exact kind of spirit I bring to my profession.
As I told you in reply to your mail, there is no "feud".I have also appreciated that - that is a positive sign from the DFI admins.
I have however offered and end to our feuds but that has not been accepted yet.
Just want to add, If GOI, has to cut pdf in India all has to do is to privide letter to ISP and website will be blocked in India.Asim, the very fact that you are being allowed to post your view point in DFI, is quite commendable. I applaud Singh for this.
You have a right to running your website , whether in profit or loss that is your decision.

Asim,I have also appreciated that - that is a positive sign from the DFI admins.
I have however offered and end to our feuds but that has not been accepted yet. Although there seems to be some collaboration between Pakistani-Indian-English here... If DFI can be best buds with them - why not end its feud with us?
RazPak,
In response to my email that was largely identical to my OP, the response PDF Webmaster put up was the following:
Certain Pakistani banned ex-member who is a party with these rats on DDOSing PDF and other WDN sites just sent me an email clarifying his position of being a non-party to these attacks
When certain individuals cannot even respond with civility and resort to abusive comments, how can you expect the two sides to make peace?
Quite honestly, PDF management knows that Pakistan Affairs and the management here have nothing to do with the DDoS attacks against them, but they are using this opportunity to smear us and through that undermine our forum.
Munshi sahib,
I protested the manner in which Aryan and Superkaif were being treated after they got banned and were thinking about starting a new forum, as I had protested against the treatment of Neo and DS when they got banned and started their forum. I strongly disagree with tactics like distorting and abusing user profiles (my profile name on PDF is now apparently Sahih, and my avatar a bouncing Pooh Bear, and the post count has been manually adjusted down to 5000 or so) or bans. As I said in my OP, a forum/site will succeed on its own merits so actions such as the ones PDF management likes to take are childish, vindictive and petty. I eventually informed PDF management that I was resigning as Administrator to avoid any conflict of interest when I joined the new forum. I indicated to them that I would be willing to continue posting on their forum occasionally, much as I have been doing on DFI and WAB of late. Pakistan Affairs even passed on some information (without specifics) on potential threats being made to attack PDF, and at that point we were banned because our efforts to show sincerity backfired and we were instead accused of 'threatening PDF'.
Now, with respect to the sentiments expressed by genmirajborgza786 and others about reconciliation - here is the latest response from the Webmaster of PDF:
I suppose it was nice of him to say 'Allah Hafiz' at the end after all that abusive language.World Defence [email protected]

to me, irfan, Asim, saeed, Z, Elmo, taimikhan, Zaki, Syed
Zain,
Go **** yourself.
I came to you guys to remove copyright violations. You guys refused and resorted to collaboration with the D F I rats to bring PDF down. All the kartoots to whom you collaborate with (and their administration) is a backhand info for me.
Dont ******* email me ever again.
Take care.
Allah Hafiz
And if anyone is wondering, Pakistan Affairs very politely asked PDF management to provide Pakistan Affairs with any evidence that might support the claims that PDF/Ahsan did in fact own the copyright to the user ranks he was complaining about, or any other copyright violations he might thing we were engaged in, in response to which we have received nothing:
I am posting excerpts of our exchanges solely in the interest of transparency and to illustrate that Pakistan Affairs has done nothing wrong and that we have, at every step, attempted to comply with the law and conduct our relationship and communication with PDF management in a civilized and dignified manner, in response to which we received bans, had our accounts banned, profiles distorted, IP's banned and now have a smear campaign launched against us.Asim,
There is a lot of content on the web - images, articles, websites etc. You cannot simply throw around random claims that 'XYZ is my copyright' and expect other entities to merely accept your word for it. If PDF does indeed have a copyright on any of the content you and Ahsan have referred to, please provide us the relevant documentation establishing it and/or provide us the contact information for you and/or your legal representatives to contact in order to resolve this matter.
We have committed no crime given that you and Ahsan/PDF have consistently refused to justify your claim of having a copyright on any of the content being referred to. Who has the copyright to the name 'Pakistan Defence Forum' given that there is a site by that name that predates ***********? Are you in copyright violation of their name? Members on PDF used to submit banners, artwork and logos that PDF used all the time. If you have registered any of this content then please send us the relevant documents illustrating this and for our legal representatives to review.
Regards
Pakistan Affairs Team
Aryan and Superkaif were being abusive to a lot of people - primarily Indians followed closely by several other nationalities.Asim,
How on earth can you argue that you/PDF is in favor of co-existing in harmony given the latest comments by the management of PDF.
I am posting excerpts from my posts on Pakistan Affairs on the issue of these accusations of 'collaboration with DFI to attack PDF':
