Im his goddamn brother and I didn't get a mention. I never ran anybody off, but some people, jesus christ some people needed their mouths checked once in a while.

I didn't mind that cuckhold Chris leaving. Him and his wife pretty much seemed the type that would claim to be un-offend-able and then get offended in an instant.

Jeff is better in real life, but the person he wishes he could be, he tries to be on the internet and that person is insufferable... when you've already met him in person.

I actually like Ben. The Internet should be a consequence free environment where horrible things can be said and laughed at or ignored, him and Robb get that.

The worst part is, Real NC, Roody, and like 10 other people never distinguished themselves for me. They were all the same person. Probably my fault for not taking the time, partially their fault for not ever really crossing the line to stand out.

Why? Well, let's see. Single eyepiece, like a magnifying glass, $8.99+51c tax at Rite-Aid. Pair of reading glasses, 3.25 strength, $1.00 +6c tax at Dollar Tree. I have bought both, and it's also really easy to carry a pair of glasses in my carry case.

I only had run-on sentences because (1) I was posting from a 10" tablet touch-screen PC (2) which, means I have to wear reading glasses to read it (3) in a hospital bed for the last month (4) using a virtual (on screen) keyboard that (5) sometimes cuts off way too much of the screen (6) sometimes requires I type "blind" (where I can't see the space I'm typing into) and (7) I can't touch-type, I can only type one character at a time.

Let's also note that it's a real pain to get a touch-screen tablet to recognize keypresses, especially when the strike area is small. I've sometimes hit the close ("X in upper right") button 5 or more times to get it recognized, and sometimes it's overshot and I end up also closing the window below it, which can be disappointing at times.

Now that I'm back to using my regular computer with my, regular dual monitor including my luscious 27" monitor at maximum resolution (I think that's 1900x1080 [I just checked, not too bad on my guess, it's actually 1920x1080 ]), I can see what I'm typing without glasses and I don't have to fight to type a sentence, I can go back to being the villainous son-of-a-bitch you all know and love.

Well, yes. The BBS villain doesn't tie people to train tracks, he or she just doesn't take any shit from anybody, argues with people when they believe they need to and provides SPIRIT!

Jethro Q. Walrustitty is always the BBS villain wherever he goes and he's one of my best friends.

nessman was a good BBS villain. Quentinbec and Senior Barborito over at Caltrops. Great men, great posters and worthy of our respect.

You left and were reborn as a new person! That is why I did not include you. You had a five-year disappearance. But your greater point is valid and I agree with it. But you did become two people, man. Two Crude Dudes!

I have always been conscious that my actual content here has been sub-par (see "Draal") as I'm pretty anti-social and feel that I tend to derail conversations. So you guys say quite a bit behind my back as I'm doing anything except adding to this place.

Here is the truth about your previous alter-ego:

1) Draal was a BBS villain, and every BBS needs a villain to survive. Right now Paul is the BBS villain for two bulletin boards, which is way more than any one person should be. I guess Pinback is also the villain here. Villains are GOOD and I encourage them.

2) Everything you have ever done as RetroRomper has been appreciated and welcome. We all like you. We would rip on you to your face here and IRC more but part of me suspects that you don't enjoy the friend-based ribbing much because you think there is a kernal of truth to it. There isn't, FuckFace. ^__^

But Pinback and I enjoy it when people rip on us a great deal, you and Flack less so and Paul is an avocado.

Think I'm the outlier here since I'm no where near as witty as Robb, my story skills are lacking compared to Flack and Ben is much better at twisting a phrase and running with it. I've been mostly quiet because well... I don't feel I contribute and see much more content and worth from everyone else who posts.

You are clutch; never change and never leave. Well, I mean, change for better personal growth but we do like you here quite a bit.

Oddly, that isn't the case as much as you'd think. Many of us just met Robb online in some way or the other, and this was the place to congregate (even if some of us have since hung out IRL).

Anyhow, Nikos, I've enjoyed your contributions to this place. Glad you're here!

by **RealNC** » Sun Jun 21, 2015 11:18 am

I don't know. This forum seemed to me to be a hangout for folks who know each other IRL. Though I registered because there was special interest in Hugo here, since I obviously don't really know any of you personally. It is a nice place and people here seem very intelligent with a good sense of humor. I enjoy reading your posts.

But my experience with forums that were created by and for friends is that they usually don't last long. People simply grow apart over the years, or they all move to Facebook (which is horrible, imo.) It seems Usenet killed BBS, forums killed Usenet, and Facebook and Twitter is killing forums.

by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Sun Jun 21, 2015 10:15 am

Nothing specific happened. There's no drama. I talk to Flack ten times a day on IRC.

But it is a repeating pattern that has happened and happened again for 20 years.

by **pinback** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 3:40 pm

I didn't even do anything this time. The only one I ever try to run off anymore is Paul, and we all know that ain't gonna happen.

by **gsdgsd** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 3:13 pm

What happened? Can we mediate?

I always miss the dramatic posts where someone is driven away. Is there a secret base where Pinback alienates everyone?
