Well if it is run by the Illuminati, I have to say I am a little hurt I was not invited to the Bilderburg mixer in 2006.

The Bilderburgers are just a front for Mensa.

I was a little skeptical at first, but when the friendly people from the US Department of Homeland Security and Saudi Aramco politely explained to me and a handful of others all the excellent reasons for creating this wonderful and informative website, it all became very clear to me and I understood. This is part of something big.... too big for people to understand. Don't even try.

Oh yeah.
That's why I can't explain any more. I may have said too much.

The rest of you will also understand clearly too, in time.

My Chinese Handlers want me to keep up the "couple of private concerned citizen's own & operate this site" smokescreen for now.

Oh... ummm... damn.

They will not be pleased.
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

Hey, did Dan remember to pay the registry renewal?

Hey, where'd you all go?
Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

You bring up a good point. Would Dan and Aaron consider setting up a paypal account so those of us who wish to help defray the costs can? I have contributed to a couple of other forums and would certainly like to help out here.

Or is there a mechanism already?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Peleg', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MD', 'I')t may actually be time for a Peakoil.com history thread!
The site owner is Dan, handle "admin". He saw PO coming, registered the site, and has maintained the community po portal vision all the way through. We are all happy for Dan's vision and continued commitment. Dan doesn't post much but he's back there paying the bills and keeping the ship afloat

I've wondered about Dan over the years, since his location is given as Cambridge, MA.

Damn, this place is owned by CERA! Come on Yergen, 'fess up.

This is the funniest thread on the whole forum. :lol:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Kingcoal', 'I') do miss Monte. He didn't take any prisoners, he told it like it was and replied to almost all posts, explaining everything in plain English.

Monte posted some stuff recently, before heading off to the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course.

Thanks!

We have had some fund raisers in the past to finance upgrades & such.

We are basically doubling our server capacity with this latest upgrade, and might need to run another fund drive, but we will avoid it if we can through advertising.

I see you have a new peak gear section, but what about selling a dvd, recommended books and products for powering down and all that stuff.

There are some people here with technical and marketing skill sets that can contribute in addition to posting messages to forums.

Is there another way to donate? My paypal account got hacked and the culprit (using a Skype acct) almost got away with $120. It took my husband four days to get everything cleared up; I have closed my paypal account.
Others might not have a paypal account.

Yes, Emma was our alpha ferret. She passed away Thanksgiving 2006 at the ripe old age of 7 yrs 11 mos. Smart as the proverbial whip. We now have only seven, Ginger having died of insulanoma three weeks ago.

I am so sorry for your loss. My pets are like my kids (actually the dog is the best behaved in the house-I have three boys). Once I figure out how to post pictures on this site, I'll probably put my horses & dog. Our friesian mare is named Mystiek which is the nickname I'm using. I would love to have a ferret, but my jack russell would probably torment it and our house is crazy enough with a 12y, 10y, and 4 y. very active boys, plus my husband is already aggrevated enough with me for turning a big part of the backyard into a garden-just because he doesn't like eating his vegetables.

:lol: You're feeling frisky this morning, aren't you?

Yes, Peakoil.com is an Iluminati conspiracy to keep the working man confused and disorganized. I for one keep myself in a state of perpetual confusion so as to make up for the deficiencies in my tin foil hat. The man now has the technology to permiate even the tightest of brain scan shields. Oops, I let the cat out of the bag - damn it, I'm slipping.

There is no illuminati, the knights templar spend evenings till two trying to figure how to help mankind for free, and break monopolies so the poor can eat, and there really are no billionaires in the world.

(If you are a billionaire, you are guilty)

Will the paypall account pay us back in percent if you make a profit?

Look. just go to EXXON and tell them you'll shut down the site for a million dollars.

I hink you could sell tours, in which you take members around the computer in houston, show them the internal workings, go for a cruise on a yacht, have a nice roasted EMU dinner and a night on the town for 500 dollars a plate, and you will give a short peak oil presentation.

work the people, y'know?

shoot you would have fun evenings and weekends just doing your job.

P.S. How many gigabytes were downloaded last month?

Sooo, with a name like peakoil that is worth 5 million dollars, why are you not doin advertising? Y'lno selling bugout shelters and stuff? Rations in cans, etc etc

Monte is not gone.

He just doesn't post as much as he used to.
