Yeah, sure there were forums and back Pud certainly did not censor anybody.

But it was not really a business, that's what I meant. It was done for fun, and so that Pud could make a name for himself.

And later write a book!

My username: thanks. I was a great fan of Pud.

I even wrote the Italian 'version' of F'd Companies https://www.dotcoma.it/book

That totally makes sense. Being just a forum and just for fun is less of a legal target I think, at least back then. That's cool you wrote a book about it, I had no idea.

Nowadays probably the only way to do this without censorship or taking bribes to promote or censor would be on a .onion site I think and it would probably get DDoS'd into oblivion.
