Pakistani Bloggers Discussion Forum Launched

Approximately two years back in 2006 we had initially launched a discussion forum to help bloggers in Pakistan, initially it was well recieved and were able to manage for a few months but it disappeared into oblivion due to neglect and lack of interest. It was recently after the series of blogger meetups that we had in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad did many of us feel the need to revive a discussion forum where fellow Pakistani bloggers can collectively help each other to compete with the world at large and maybe place the Pakistani blogging community on the global blogosphere.

This early morning of 2009 [Happy New Year to everyone] I have finalized the preparations of the discussion form being hosted at http://bloggers.pk/forum. This flavor of the discussion board software has been deliberaly selected for its simplicty so that it is easy for everyone to be involved in any on going discussion

We hope that the community of Pakistani bloggers can now join hands together help & assist the new breed of upcoming, who might be gingerly stepping onto this platform for the very first time. While the forum will also provide a place for the advanced users to also share their experiences with everyone around.

    I don’t think the current version or plugin what you are using would be a good idea, to what i feel using the whole thing is a bit uncomfortable. Sorry for being rude !

    If possible why don’t you put a Vbulletin and kick start the forums ?

    Cheers

    In Waleed’s recent posting on his blog about tech predictions for 2009, he suggested that in 2009 we might see the arrest of a blogger.

    What steps could be taken now to discourage the arrest of bloggers and also to have an arrested blogger freed?

    To discourage, perhaps a voluntary code of conduct could be developed.

    To prepare in advance for the event that a blogger will be detained, law students and attorneys could be engaged in committee. For law students, it would provide opportunities to develop likely scenarios for which briefs and filings could be prepared in advance.

    These work products could be submitted as law school assignments and also posted to a public wiki. Whereas wikis usually seek to hammer out a single article on each topic, in this case of a blogger defense wiki there should be opportunities for alternate documents, perhaps with the original author having approval authority on suggested alterations.

    In software development, ‘use cases’ are defined in advance. The use cases are scenarios for how the software could be used. Likely scenarios could also be defined for how bloggers could be arrested. The scenarios could inform the voluntary code of conduct.

    We are peace loving country but you guys keep troubling us.
    If your government spend the same money on the Pakistan public then the country will have a better future.

    I am not sure about the pakistani public but all the your government is pathetic……full of Ass Holes.

    And you ISI department, will learn soon how powerful india…..in 1 songle day we can screw all the bastards in your country but we are good people & do care about the people in pakistaan. Why innocent people suffer because of few bastards in pakistaan.

    Few preists in your country misguide pakistani innocent young generation & push them to Voilance in the name of JIHAD.

    Those bastards dont even know the meaning of Jihad.

    Now we indians are just posting a decent message in your forum….next would be an attack to bring down your countries internet network.

    I know you guys will take it as a joke….just wait & watch as Indian hackers are ready to
    attack.

    What does this ‘blogging’ mean? I am a senior citizen of Pakistan and learned to use computer from my son and grandson about 6 years ago. I have been writing articles and interacts on different websites, especially ‘chowk.com’ for a number of years. But don’t know what this blogging is meant to do now? Will some friend enlighten me?

    bloggers.pk seems to have stopped updating after 12 March. And trying to access http://bloggers.pk/forum/ returns a page full of warnings like this one:

    Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/.dibey/drawab/bloggers.pk/forum/appg/headers.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/drawab/bloggers.pk/forum/appg/init_vanilla.php on line 17

    I hope some measures are already under way to resolve this.

    I have tried sevral over-the-counter teeth whitening products but have not found one that works well.

    Does anyone have any advise or experience with some of the products offered online? I prefer using a paste solution instead of the strips.

    Thanks in advance…

    Hello everyone,

    My name is David Cohen and I am new to this forum. I am not sure if this is the right category that I should be posting this topic but forgive me if not. Recently I purchased this Power4Home program I am sure most of you heard of it already, but anyway I have been working on building the system with no past experience of electrical knowledge what so ever but I was finally able to finish building all the system after 3 days of work.

    I must say it is an energy miracle that could end our global worming. I am no body really just trying to spread this information since our governments don't give a damm about this matter as long as they make their cut.

    Please visit this website for more information: http://Power4HomeReview.com

    To those of you that think I make a dime in anyway the answer is NO I love earth more than any trash paper.

    I don't know how many of you know about the seriousness of this situation but I think everyone should act NOW.

    Thank you for reading this,

    David C

    Hello Guys,

    Trying for information about which is the easiest teeth whitening tools to use?

    I find it can be very hard to come across the correct information as far as I can see. this place tells you one thing and a different place tells you something totally different!

    Well, I thought the easiest thing to do is get practical information from you people as you could have personal experience re this area.

    All feedback will be really appreciated.

    Thanks in advance folks.

    hang PPP for exploiting the name of Bhutto to do exactly opposite of Bhutto's vission.

    and building Surrey palace in UK(larger than Queen of England's palace)

    offshore bank accounts

    hang PML for exploiting Pakistan like Abba jee ka chai ka hotel

    making palaces in saudi arabia and uk and europe

    like pakitan already is not suffering from RELATIVES corruption, SIFARISH, only those related to these monsters prospers,

    hey wat about 200 million Pakistanis, should they try to be relaed wid PML to get a decent living…

    hang MQM for its party animal who shouts like a monkey living a luxurious life in UK for the last 20 years and pretending 2 be leader of karachi

    hang Mullahs whose own children are liviving in europe and usa , for using Allahs name and their religion to decieve and exploite muslims

    all these so called servant of people, Leaders

    have Palaces abroad, huge oversease accounts, huge oversease properties…

    hang imran khan….for marrying 3 richest jewish jemima(jewish agent)

    hang lawyers for making millions and still our poor suffers in jail for false cases,

    hang judges for hanging most brilliant politician of modern world Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in a false case to please USA

    hang musharaf for not hanging these politicians and being over confident that these politicians will never come back in pakistani politics…..and not hanging these politicians when the whole of pakistan was crying for corruption,

    may be he under estimated corruption in pakistani society and his own millitary generals……e.g. tales of corruption of general jahangir karamat

    to be continued……..list is long…….

    THese monsters killed Quade-Azam …..he worked so hard to his death….cuz these rulling elite wont work and was busy in marry making , and grabbing property

    the ambulance send for Quade Azam broke down on the way

    and later went outa petrol while bringing Quade Azam back…..

    these rulling class elite hanged Bhutto for restoring pakistan millitarys moral after defeat…

    for making pakistan a nuclear power

    for making pakistan leader of the Islamic world(the only successful islamic gethering of the muslim leaders ever)

    for not bowing down to India

    for reastoring pride of pakistanis in UN and international world…

    for giving pakistan only successful constitution……

    After all, the crimes of the Baloch sardars in burying women alive,

    or the Tumandars of southern Punjab cutting off the noses of women

    or the Sindhi feudals setting dogs on women to kill them

    carefully wact for those who divert your anger towards one provence or other, they are foreign agents trying to make brother fight with brother…

    while stupid ISI is trying make, build and support fake saints, mazaars,

    turning the whole pakistan into sleep, or U are a mallang dont talk about our problems, just lay down and die

    where were your mazaars and saint when pakistan was cut in half….

    when pakistanis are living in terror and poverty and Zulm where are your saints….

    saints can not save u….Allah help those who help themselves…..

    according to allama iqbal

    "azaan tu rah gayee par

    rohey bilali na rahee"
