Its weird to me DB has an off topic as well , why not just one as both are off topic..........must be the different humor of the DB'ers
I think his divorce may have went a little messy , tis a shame cuz i thought he was a pretty nice guy. Darkhorse and savit620 dont post like they use to,
What about youridol? this guy use to post alot , was a supporting member etc.
ALot of members that really stand out like tommygunn who use to live on this forum have just really slowed down on posting.
Wow. Reading this thread is very insightful. DB OT doesn't seem to attract a fraction of the traffic this side does.
So when someone gets a ban, are names and reasons posted by the mods or do we just second guess based on the sudden disappearance of a user?
Is the 'punishment tariff' the same for all offenders or does it depend on the nature of the offending comment(s)?

I can only imagine. I wouldn't wish divorce on my worst enemy. I've seen to many good friends get taking down, lose jobs, and end up with nothing.
Yeah, I don't see youridol around much now that you mention it. I'm sure there's more. I have thought many a time about cutting back on TB. I spend way too much time here but I really enjoy it.
Me too. Some little girl was asking about buying an inexpensive DB and a group of senior supporting members just ripped into her, making snarky comments and in-jokes. It was absolutely ridiculous. I tore into them, can't remember what i said, but the gist was that they were creating an atmosphere of hostility that seemed calculated to drive new students away rather than assist them. I think i actually used the phrase "shame on you."
Anyway, I searched for the post but they must have deleted the thread. Hopefully out of embarrassment.
Frothy Walrus... great name for a band!!!!!
Not too sure exactly what kind of music they would play though!

Names and reasons are NOT posted by the mods, we have to either guess for ourselves, or PM a mod to ask (if we really feel the need). But you have to be careful even when PM'ing to make sure your "tone" is not "challenging"--otherwise you might get an infraction!
The infraction points depend partly on the nature of the offense, and partly on whether the mod in question is feeling crotchety that day.

I see. I had a thread closed down because of the descent into a slanging match and I have to say, the PM's I exchanged with that particular mod were cool, calm and very gracious. He took his time to explain the reasoning behind the lock down and I reflected on my part in the debacle and saw why he did what he did. I guess it gave me a better understanding of the ethos of TB and I have enjoyed my time here more as a consequence.
Like I said at the time, if you want to argue with kids and call someone a c***, there's always blabbermouth
Nice try. In point of fact, most members of the DB forum are too old to engage in this type of activity. Now if the fluid involved was prune juice, and the froth came from another location, then that might be an appropriate term to describe the DB forums.
What? You leave and I'll be the only guy here from our immediate area! I'll be the only one here who knows about Margaux's Deli and Gordon Music! ARRRGGGHHH!
