Wasn’t there some forum created after pissarmy died called Gay For Paul Barker or something like that? I wanted to find it to see if there is any current activity. So I search “Gay for paul barker” and it turns out there is also an author named Paul Barker who writes gay porn stories and all I got was a bunch of hits for stuff like “First time with a guy”. Not exactly what I was looking for. Anyway, if anyone knows the website/forum I am talking about I’d appreciate a link.
Thanks.
Pretty sure its called pb4pb.com
Its run by christonabun, the guy that horked me out of my cd after I sent him a KY revco cd… still butt hurt over that. Jerk!

Yeah, that guy was an idiot. He would poke his head around the door once in a blue moon and accuse us all of being snobs and how all we ever do is poke fun at the pissarmy.
He was a jerk.
PB4PB stands for Paul Barker for Paul Barker.
It’s basically a collective of ex-Piss Army folk that rallied for a new home after I brought about the destruction of pissarmy.com (it’s a long story).
Christonabun really drove the campaign initially and found us a really great brainiac to host and run the site (she still does). Christonabun is no longer involved with pb4pb.com
It’s a pretty random and haphazzard forum that talks mostly about non-Ministry topics (as there isn’t much to talk about with Ministry anymore), but there is a pretty overall and prevailing theme of sarcastically ripping on the neverending parade of FAIL that is 13th Planet and Uncle Al nowadays.
woo hoo. right.
Anybody remember the Paul Barker hate site from the '90s? Some tool with a public access TV show thought Paul was rude to him during an interview and decided to invest an awful lot of time and energy into a website all about how much he thought Paul Barker was a dick.
Those were the glory days of the internet, yes sir.
y’all FAGGOTZ!!!
fukkkin queer dick lovin’
Wasn’t the Baboon banned?
I brought about the destruction of pissarmy.com (it’s a long story).

Christonabun is no longer involved with pb4pb.com

Here’s my original poster for the group.
While we were assessing what we were going to do we had a Facebook group for a while.
http://www.facebook.com/pb4pb#!/group.php?gid=315462898464
It used to be an open group, but I sealed it up when I got evidence that some of the bitter Al and Angie fanboys/girls within (or just hangers-on) 13th Planet were reporting back pretty much everything that we talked about on the page and it was causing some friction for some people more sensitive about those things than myself.
I had Admin powers at one point but am not sure if I still do. The kid who originally opened the page has since gone butthurt emo on everyone from PB4PB.COM and disappeared in a cloud of shame.
I’ve had a number of run-ins with people here and there of various related bands, websites, etc. with regards to my online shenanigans. But I don’t give a crap. If people don’t like what I say they shouldn’t serve me so much ammunition on a silver platter.
While some people run around trying to accuse others of friendly fire, I drop hand grenades and atom bombs and keep laughing.
As for the origin of the name “Paul Barker for Paul Barker” . . .
Some years back someone posted a thread on the Piss Army forum with the query “Is Paul Barker Gay?”. He then noted that he saw an interview with Paul and that his clothes were a bit gay (I think he had a sweater) and that he spoke kind of lispy.
No one really thought Paul was gay or argued the theory, but some of us had a good laugh and eventually “Paul Barker” became part of the common lexicon referring to being gay or gay for something.
“Dude, you like Blue October? That is so Paul Barker!”
“Bruce Dickinson is rad. I’m kind of Paul Barker for him.”
And so on . . .
We still use the phrase regularly on PB4PB.com Some wondered “Isn’t this kind of insensitive to Paul Barker?”
but most of us reasoned that, “Paul is obviously not actually gay, and we wouldn’t be carrying on like this if we thought it would actually hurt or offend him.”
Some of us also reasoned that, if he did get offended over something so stupid, than he probably wasn’t as awesome as we all thought he was.
We love Paul Barker. We’re all totally Paul Barker for him.

HAHAHA!!! That’s right. Thanks for clarifying.
but how did you bring about the destruction of pissarmy.com?

It’s a long story, some details of which are purely classified. Besides, Afra got blamed for it anyway, so what does it matter? HAHAHAHA!!! Talk about “friendly fire” . . . .

HAHAHA!!! That’s right. Thanks for clarifying.
Boooooooooooooo

Not exactly glory days, because it was only five years ago. Said public access show was Global Jungle, out of Dallas (or was it Houston?) Asshole in question was Alan Hines, who ripped of a ton of Skinny Puppy fans on sales of their Dallas 1992 performance tape. He sold bootlegs, but it would’ve been under the table had he made good on his promises.
The irony is that the site was shut down because I linked it on another forum…on the SP forum. Alan became butthurt about his business matters and split town. I regret it, because there was a really humorous story about Paul being in some bar in the A.M. that played porno movies while you had breakfast, and got upset that no one knew “WHO HE WAS”. Whether it was true or not, who cares - it was funny.
That show sounds fantastic. Did anyone archive any of the episodes?
It was way more than 5 years ago…
Ok, you got me, it was more around 2003 than anything.
The next Prongs compilation we decide to throw together better DAMNED well be titled “Gay for Paul Barker.”
