Well is there another purge? Heard mention of a group of MIA's over at Breaktime. Was there another Mignight Mass-a-cree?
If so, any outcasts feel free to take a look at our current Auction item-48'' Smartlevel donated by Piffin.

What? No one fessing up?
I couldn't log on end of last week.
sent off an email and actually got a reply this time, so that part is new.
Said ... my name had "come up" in a coupla of the trouble threads ... so they had suspended my account while they "looked into" it?
Only crap I'd posted was telling Sq Peg she's nuts for maying I somehow got her fired about 5 years ago ... that thread was fun ... and ... posted more than once that I thought the mod's once again had no clue how to moderate, knew very little about construction ... and the fact they cut everyone's pic allotment sucked and wasn't a mistake as the mods were first trying to explain it away as.
So thinking I basicially got the boot for being a general pain in the ass. As I told them in my reply email ...
that's not a problem ... just let me know where I stand if/when a decision is made. I stopped having much attachment to the place during the first mass banishment. If they wanna screw up a good thing ... it's their good thing to screw up. Life moves on.
I know Gunner got a 2 week time out from the Tavern for his "i'm huge" pic. Not sure about him ... but I'd guess he's on a wacko hit list somewhere under my name, all from that Kiva thread.
I gotta figure out how to post pics here. Have a camera fulla great kid pics ... this weekend me and Cath went without kids for one nite ... but weekend before we spent a long weekend in the woods with the kids.
Corey got out in the kayak last summer by himself ... this time .... he followed me out in the kayak himself, out and into the lake. He was in Cath's kayak and I was close enough by in mine. First time out on the "big water" ... he did great.

Looks like Bob's gone again as well.
From the looks of the posts in the Tavern, everybody's scared. I tried to stir up a little stink, I mean intellectual debate, last night to see what would happen....Nobody was biting.

Hey Jeff,
I looked back through the picture limit thread and I didn't really see anything. You got the shaft. If you got any pics you want up, send 'em to me and I post them. Nobody cuts cute kid pics.

Sounds like Sphere got booted. I'm not sure what he did.

This is even more mystifying than the first purge. Strange to me because that first one came as a surprise-I hadn't read any of the offending threads. Haven't read many of the latest ones either I guess, but the strange part is there have been what I would have called offensive posts prior that didn't get a whimper out of the moderators.
For example, some of intrepid's posts have been downright stupid, hurtful (or whatever their word for it is), inciting etc. Yet, he's still there-in the tavern-doesn't seem to post any helpful posts at least that I can remember.
We can't speak with JP, he's been laid off. Robin pops in on occasion-appears to care............then we don't hear diddly from her.
Just plain goofy.

The "advertisers" are in charge now or that is what they would have us believe. Makes sense in a way.

Grant, Duane let Ron have it with both barrels - three times. There won't be any xmas cards being sent back and forth...
Shoulda saw it comin'.
It won't be long and we're gonna end up here - or nowhere.
Maybe it'll all be for the best in the end.
After the first episode it wasn't ever going to be the same.
Cal, have you heard from JP? Now that he moved on is there any info as to WTF is going on over there?
Like I said over there, I'm gonna try to get in touch with you next week if the schedule allows. I'll be pretty close to your area - Quarry...for about a week or two.

I have not heard from JP since just b/4 he left. What goes on over there must be involved with national security.

Yo Big Cal.
I think we were the victims of a drive by. Someone in corporate wandered in put on a blinfold and started shooting darts. Or someone complained maybe repeatedly and they came down for a look. My pic and caption happened to be floating towards the top and not knowing me or the history they just pulled the trigger.
If they had any idea like the regular mods they would know I meant no malice and was actually using the tavern for what it was meant for. A regular working guy unwinding at the end of the day. Nothing more. I don't run from thread to thread causing problems. Or keep stirring the ever volatile political arguments over, and over, and over.Or breaking the terms of services just to see how much I can get away with. The regular mods let it stay for a week so they understood it. That's why I think it was a drive by and now the mods have to clean up the fall out. If there is any. I don't do the double identity thing so I don't know what's going on in the tavern. I got another week. No biggie.
Yea I was pretty steamed at first but f it. What you gonna do. They are all worried about what the customers and visitors are going to think. Uhh WE are the customers and visitors. And we don't think much latley LOL.

I sure don't understand why more BT ers don't get this place up & running. I haven't spent much time over at Breaktime in a while. Just like the Magazine the place is a lower quality then say even 5 years ago.
The people running the site need to get into govermenent, they would fit in there.
Now back to the real world, Work is real slow were out on our own, the Bassturds that I busted my Hump for the past 8 years( they also drive real nice Mercedes SUVs that I made happen for them) threw me out to the street 2 1/2 months ago. Gave me my last pay check & that was that.
So whats happening in the Tavern & Bt is small potatoes in my world.
We knew the Gravytrain was going to end some day, just bitter about the way the X- employer went about it.
Were thinking about getting a biz up & running that will do only PV Solar, it's an untapped market here>
Hope all R Well!

Well, at least this is here should anyone need to maintain contact with the unreal world.
Hope your future brightens up. You're not new to this stuff.

Yea. It seems that corporate shows sporadic interest. And that's the problem. They hit hard them leave. When all the pieces are getting back together they show up again and blamo.
Like I kind of said earlier. They are worried about what customers and visitors to the site are going to think. Well that's us. And we used to think we really liked it. Until everyone tried to fix it.
Later I got to get to bed. We remodeled a drive thru tonight and I lost the coin toss to do the training in the AM.

I would be real curious to see what happened if everyone tooka little BT vacation. Not some stupid boycott. Just take a week and hang here instead. My curiousity leans toward what it would look like over there at the end of the week w/out the regular's posts.
Think new regulars would pipe up?
Bunch of one post threads w/ no answers?
No change at all?
Never happen, I've just always wondered.

It was the advance warning about the smell off your boots...

Not enough unity there for that. The place would be alright if everyone would just let it be alright. Instead of rethinking it over and over.
The BS with this last election and letting the hate posts go on too long then reining them all in at once was a big blow to the system there.
Big business. Whatch gonna do?
