PR is absolutely useless as an indicator of SEO. I spend more time thinking about paint dry than I do about it these days
Still means alot in the business world like he said. You show a Pagerank of 6 and you are going to have a lot more rank to sell advertisement and links than a pagerank 3 site.
Yes, SEO is important. But running around preaching and worrying about PR is a waste of time. PR is simply an algorithm, a ranking strategy for Google that no other search engines use. The PR ranking tools are absolutely useless as an indicator of your websites relevance as it doesn't compare it to keywords, which are what users will always get to your sites by.
Don't know if that was directed towards me. However, i am not running around "preaching" or "worrying" about PR. I simply decided to start a friendly thread to see what people think and how people are doing as far as PR is concerned perhaps.

Which is another myth started by web-professionals. There are a lot more important things to consider when contacting an advertiser.
I tested four live sites, all got predicted to rise to (or stay at) 5. I tested my test forum, and it's set to rise from 0 to 1 ........
Oh, btw, what is PR anyway ?
I think the only factor it comes into play is when someone links something on your site and depending on your pr rank, the spiders will crawl that link accordingly.
