I suppose that technically it was either GaGambler or me. The rules for posting have not changed in the seven years that I've been here. As usual, only the moderators are required to read all the crap that gets posted. The rest of you are free to pick and choose as you see fit.
Just ask The-DC-Formerly-Known-As-Moderator. He'll tell you how it really is: things were must worse back in his time than they are now.
I thought like you did, that ALIAS ASSCLOWNS & TROLLS are running rampant with no one to keep them in check, and have driven away the greater board population. But then I got schooled on the issue.
See, DC sez there is nothing left to talk about. And it seemed like most people agreed with him on his post. So, all of us decent folks are using aliases to stir up a shitpot 'cuz we're more bored and restless than a 3rd-grader with ADHD who went to math class after chugging a quart of grap Kool-Aid but forgot to take his ritalin.
That's why just a coupla short years back you would see 3000 reads on an OP, and today, you're lucky to hit one tenth of that. There is just nothing of interest about the hobby left to say.
I also learned it's affected us all. No one is ammune. So the natural conclusion is that must mean that even long time respected folks like mr.fisher and mattradd might behind those aliases.
Did you notice that Hirogen and johngantnh stopped postign around the same time? I say it's a coincedence, completely unrelated. But, there HAVE been some ambiguous and mysterious statements mad by mods about 'well respected' hobbyists making the alias posts on the down low.
I don't know what to think. I'm not a VIP, and I have no reviews so I have no credibility. I'm happy just to post, even if I get called an asshole. It doesn't really bother me, 'cuz I'm old, and obese, with a tiny dick that is all bent, IF I can get an erection.
I think you should post your theory about 'who I used to be.' I would neither confirm nor deny it, but it might be interesting.
If you are correct then you know full good and well that I have no reading comprehension problems. If you read enough of ol' HalfHour you'll also know when I'm just expressing my own sense of humor and when I am totally serious.
in which case you'll note that my post above was the former.
