PAA started to go downhill after Diablo and Amazigh paid off some Iranian hacker to attack the site. (Think his name was Wulfsbane?).
After that Sisu/Miss Fortune made the forum private (meaning that you had to be a registered member to view the site). That of course led to a massive decrease in posting activity. With that policy in place PAA failed to acquire new members to replace the older ones who stopped posting. Slowly but surely the place began to fall apart. The chatbox disappeared, the arcade went away, and many prominent members left.
Eventually, Sisu/Miss Fortune abandoned the site without explaining the reason behind her absence. PAA was even deader then PANF at that point. The forum continued to exist on life support for a few more months before Ikki/Marcus/Will shut it down for good.
Of related interest! :laugh:
