I'm preeeeeety certain one could pay for this board and the bandwidth it uses for about $600, maybe $700 a year, depending on how good a deal one could get from the hosting company.

I guess this makes NASA's conspiracy the cheapest in history. And they say the gub'mint is full of wasteful spending!

Even if we were, IMHO this would still be just another ad-hominem fallacy, and CR would still have to show how our ARGUMENTS are wrong.

It is the ad hominem fallacy, and pointing it out as such is one effective way of refuting it.

Specifically, whether one's statement in any particular case is disinformation (a lie) doesn't depend on whether you've characterized the proponent as a disinfo agent; but rather upon whether the statement in question is really a lie. That can be determined only by comparing the statement with facts. If the statement and the facts align, then the statement is true regardless of what label you pin on its proponent.

But because this requires a little more critical thinking skills than some are willing to expend to understand it, you can sometimes get better results from a different kind of refutation.

In this case the notion that thousands of posts made by thousands of people on a public board are all funded by the U.S. government is preposterous enough on its face that it can be easily seen as such without much effort. There can be more than one thing wrong with an argument.

I'm new here. Who do I sign up with to start receiving my checks?

You will be notified if and when your work is judged to be of sufficient quality and quantity to merit your becoming a paid government shill.

Indeed that's true, I've been posting here for ages from the United Kingdom and NASA has not yet deemed my work to be of a suitable level commensurate with some form of financial remuneration.

There aren't thousands of members on this board and on other conspiracy forums that post in defense of NASA on a regular, dedicated basis, its more like a few dozen. It does seem perposterous that they would pay any of you for the level of work you produce. After all, non of you have ever proved the manned moon landings, or naything for that matter, The conspiracy theories wouldn't exist if you had effectively done so. That's the funny thing about science, one mans science fact is another mans rediculous unproved idiom.

Please provide your single best piece of evidence that the photographs, video footage, rocks and radio signals that document the Apollo landings are ALL fake.

A few dozen? Wrong.

Wrong.

Again, wrong. People can believe wrong things, even when they have been proven to be wrong. See the whole 2012 nonsense. Or homeopathy.

No, that's not how science operates.

And if you want a "rediculous [sic] unproved idiom", I recommend you view your own posts.

Or the flat or hollow Earth "theories".
