P.I.F. = "Pay it forward"
My normal understanding is that you:
1) Offer a piece of gear you want to see arrive at a good, caring home.
2) Someone claims the gear and it is sent to the claimant.
3) The person who claims it is now "obligated" to repeat the process.
(I think variants do exist - as I've checked it out before, I think there's a spreadsheet there where transactions are being kept up with so there's an appropriate amount of accountability.)
You don't HAVE TO be crazy to be here - But I assure you it will help.....
Are you talkin about the thread on PIF or just what it means in general? It means Pay it forward.There is a thread where one may claim an item another posts for giveaway. In turn you select something you have and post it for giveaway. Instead of paying for the item you pay it forward to another member by giving the item you posted to whoever claims it for free. There are some other minor stipulations but you get the idea.

Pay it Forward Rules
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forum-wide PIF Rules.
1. You must have at least 50 posts in order to participate in this forum.
2. The item offered is free and the poster of the PIF will pay for the shipping (CONUS only)
3. The receiver/claimer of the PIF agrees to "Pay it Forward" by posting something free within 24 hours (must be worth the cost of shipping).
4. The first member to post they want an item gets it. PM your address to the poster after claiming a PIF.
5. Always post your PIF info both in this thread *and* in the spreadsheet. Update the info when it is claimed and when it is shipped.
6. You cannot claim more than one PIF every 72 hours, no exceptions.
7. You cannot claim another PIF until your posted PIF gets taken.
8. You cannot 'bank' or 'pre-offer' items to make future claims. If you post an item without first claiming one, it is considered 'no claim'.
9. Don't post items unless you are ready to ship them within 72 hours. (Excepting only major holidays, or extraordinary circumstances.)
10. Please avoid off topic conversation! Off topic posts will be deleted at moderators' discretion.
11. Your "Pay it Forward" offer must come with the same terms as this one. No rule changes are allowed at any time.
12. There is to be only one ongoing PIF thread, no exceptions.
13. Members that abuse the nature of the PIF thread will be removed from participating.
