Is there life in A&S after the antagonists are gone?

[AlmostTrick]

That depends. :) But I don't mind at all, either way. I'm just wondering what happened to start all this, I haven't been up on this soap-opera. ;)

If he deserved it, so be it.

The answer to your question is linked on page one.

"Helmet Head, permanent ban, chronic inability to be a beneficial member of the Bike Forums community.

[edit] Does not play well with others. There really was no other option to break the outrage/abuse cycle of A&S.

Much of the issue is that many members don't believe he deserved it. He didn't break any specific guidelines, but was banned for being the predictable HH we all knew. I guess the moderators were tired of it.

He monopolized parts of the forum to the detriment of other members.

And claimed that any argument against his views was a personal attack. I know I was reported a few times for these "personal attacks."

He even sent me some PMs, even after I told him to stop PMing me.

If that's not in violation of the rules, what is?

Sheesh. He's been banned, let's move on FFS.

No worries mate, ChipSeal has taken up the PMing about perceived personal attacks.
It's like we got the mob in A&S - you bust one capo and another takes his place. ;)

[rando]

...And I will be the one to use HH's patented "Huh?". I will also question reading comprehension and intelligence.

[LittleBigMan]

The moderators acted according to their best judgement. That's their job, after all.

Personally, I never thought HH was that scary. I just skimmed over stuff that didn't interest me. ;)

But you don't harass me in PMs...harassment is a one-way road, big boy. ;)

[tomcryar]

Although I read parts of them, I've always skimmed through HH's posts, too. I think most people did.

[tomcryar]

Brian, I couldn't find any way on my user control to delete myself from this forum, or to unsubscribe. I started to delete my posts one by one, but I have over 600 so I gave up.............
Please go into the administration subset and take me off this forum. I would be most grateful.
I would encourage you to shut down a and s for awhile. Maybe bring it back after the real idiots have forgot about it.
And, I thank You for YOUR participation.

and now his ghost haunts this forum until we exorcise it. How about we move this thread to "Forum Suggestions" since it has nothing to do with Advocacy and Safety and seems to be about how Bike Forums in general is managed?

then maybe those of us who have managed to get over the loss of HH can see what it's like in here without him- BTW, A&S seems to be surviving quite nicely.

[tomcryar]

How 'BOUT we move to the real reason.

[JoeyBike]

...sooner or later someone else will turn up to 'entertain' us.

I might apply for that job. Dunno yet as I have not spent much time (ok....ANY time) on A&S yet.

Lemme spend a couple weeks snooping around here. I'll be in touch.

New Struggles -- After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cave--a tremendous, gruesome shadow. God is dead; but given the way of men there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown. --And we--we still have to vanquish his shadow, too.

I'll second your nomination as A&S's new harelquin. Anyone who customises their user title with "20+ MPH Commuter" should provide us with a dose of much needed hilarity.

All the good slogans were taken. I'm waiting for someone to die so I can grab theirs.

Here is part of my resume: http://bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=367068 (http://bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=367068)

Some say I should have posted it here first. Check out my Website too. Have fun and let me know if I am worthy. I'll give ya'll a week or so.

It will be so much fun here. I really want the job. I feel like it may be my true calling on this rock.

Impressive credentials. However, don’t hide your light under a bushel, JoeyBike - I reckon you should amend your user title immediately as you were easily doing 22.5 + MPH in some bits of that video (maybe even faster!).

As it's all getting a bit Götterdämmerungy on this thread - can I ask if you truly are the light-entertainment son of HH and JF?

Hey........! you committed suicide on page 6! you can't come back! :eek:

Not only can I come back, but until Brian does what I asked him to do, I'll keep posting. You people think this s h it is funny, and you love to make fun of people --- anonymously --- but there is a limit. I've reached mine with this particular forum........I'm going to go ride.
If you like this kind of thing, such as this thread, then I say it's time to shut down A&S. Maybe for awhile, or maybe permanently.
I truly believe that if it's closed, people will migrate otherwise......

FWIW I thought referring to a "I'm out of here" post as a suicide note funny, nothing personal meant by my laughter. Have a great time on your bike.

[rando]

He's not kidding, Brian! He'll do it!

just a little ribbing, man.

I could have sworn that was a suicide post.

..."Which is why I can't fathom people getting banned for saying what they think.
If this is what this forum has come to, then goodbye."

it's got kinda that goodbye cruel world feel to it, doesn't it?

[The Human Car]

At the end of the day it comes down to that for all of us. Ether we like what's going on and participate or we ignore and do other things.
