andersenpa Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I got a FB message about this new website (at least, new to me) http://www.pasrock.com/ A mixture of PA articles, "how to become a PA" info, blog posts, and a discussion forum Of course I am biased and can't imagine a need for "another" PA forum, but we'll see how it grows. Anyone seen this site before? Is it associated with the AAPA? Any of the site's owners visit this forum? Are you out there? Interested to hear the background of creating this new site, from onw forum to another.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted August 7, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 7, 2012 it's an aapa site. look at the bottom of the page: © Copyright American Academy of Physician Assistants wonder if they are trying to draw folks away from here and other free thinking sites like clinician1. bet they won't have a name change thread over there....or anything which calls the integrity of the bod of the aapa into question....

Administrator rev ronin Posted August 7, 2012 Administrator Share Posted August 7, 2012 Well, an enterprising PA can always go register, talk up the topics of actual interest, and see what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted August 7, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 7, 2012 I will only bother if they actually get anyone to sign up. the forums only have 1 topic and 1 post so doesn't look like much of a readership as of now....I'm guessing the threads will also be censored by the aapa mods...I can't imagine that they would allow a pro-name change poll there showing 80% of folks in favor for example.....

Administrator rev ronin Posted August 8, 2012 Administrator Share Posted August 8, 2012 ^ that would be very shrewd of them. gotta chuckle at them trying to use the vernacular that they think the "youth" would use. "PA's ROCK!". im surprised its not "pasarerad.com". Someone should register "PAsaregroovy.com" and redirect it to their site just to mock them. Someone paypal me the $50 and I'll do it, since I already own a couple of domain names... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andersenpa Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yeah I saw that; I wasn't sure if the whole thing was AAPA or just that "event banner" at the bottom The site definitely has an AAPA vibe and..... looking at the registered members/authors: Biancha Belcher- SAAAPA Advocacy & Government Affairs Commission Student Representative Harrison Reed- SAAAPA Director of Student Communications Janette Rodrigues- Managing Editor, Publications, American Academy of Physician Assistants "mcginnity"- likely John McGinnity, AAPA DAL J. Leocadia Conlon- AAPA director of Quality Improvement Initiatives "pdunne" - Patrick Dunne, AAPA's senior manager of communications oh and Jenna Dorn..... etc...... good to know your sources......

Moderator EMEDPA Posted August 8, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 8, 2012 how about pasarenotassistants.com redirected to their site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted August 8, 2012 Administrator Share Posted August 8, 2012 $50? Is that how much it costs? I thought I registered PAMACiscool.com through godaddy for a lot less. (pamacrocks.com seems to have a hidden message). I have no idea how much Godaddy costs--they supported SOPA, so they are dead to me. I use a reputable registrar, and an initial 2 year registration for a .com is $44.95, I think, so less the paypal fees, $50 is a pretty good round number.

mackjacks Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 You also wouldn't believe the look you get from your wife when you tell her how much you have to pay to get a scale model of a wind turbine. Is it like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/900W-12V-WIND-GENERATOR-WIND-TURBINE-GUDCRAFT-WM900-2012-MODEL-/200712010790?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ebb5e3c26#ht_2646wt_957 I would have more than a look for my boyfriend if he bought that! :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator True Anomaly Posted August 9, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2012 Printers are the future. I saw an article where some guy made an AR-15 that functioned. That certainly beats the functional wrench that I saw made. Never bring a wrench to a gunfight :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
