The gerry1 thread

Anyone gonna explain?






Matthew 26:14-16


P.S

Feel free to chat in this thread. its my thread after all so therefore you dont have to stay on topic.

 

i am sure there was reason! and don't ask a mod cuzz they won't tell you, you might try sending her or him a e-mail or go to their home pag and ask there, we are not to wonder why we are just to do or die, i am sure if you were to search some of the post's that gerry1 put out and you might have some information with that

 

That bit right there sucks ^


But sadly your right, its alll meant to be just brushed under the carpet and thats that. It blows guys. This site really has gone down the hill. Youve just banned one of your best members.

 

there [bold]is no[/bold] going to gerry's page or messaging him or any other way to get in touch with him through AD. once a member is banned, all that stops.

he never gave out his email, he never had an interest in messengers. he never created any profile save the one on this site. unless he chooses to come back under a new name, there's no real way for most of his friends here to get in touch with him.

i changed my email to an invalid one just a few hours after gerry was banned. my change in state should take effect soon.

*edit*

and sorry fellas, but as you know, this is not a democracy and no amount of bitching will ever change that.

basically, you have three options: buy the site and change the ambience yourself, deal with it, or leave.

i'm piss broke to begin with and after this, my patience has run out.

time to migrate onto greener pastures...forums where people can have a little fun with each other, aren't so easily offended, and yet still manage to act like adults...

...in other words, forums that have nothing to do with video games in any way, shape, or form.





back when the site was more about dvd ripping and computer building, people were different. sure, there were spammers and assholes and kids like doggy_bot, but overall the place felt kinder and more relaxed. but most of the originally devoted members have moved on, and the forum that was the baby brainchild of dRD and Ketola and all the others has had to evolve into a stricter, more authoritarian environment in order to keep up with the influx of younger, less experienced minds.

pissed as i am about the situation (major sign i have taken this place too seriously), i hold no bad blood against anyone here. it's just time to move on.

hope you all enjoyed my last digression--it was the last of my incoherent babble meant to explain my actions here.

 

billybob, no offense, but Gerry just wouldn't drop it - him getting the boot was gunna happen soon anyway IMHO.

Brandon, I guess I'll catch you on Msn some time then; although I find this ridiculous. Dan may be on his way back soon.

A General Statement:

Why does everyone piss and moan about the state of AfterDawn, how all it's best members are leaving etc, if when one leaves or is banned you jump on the bandwagon and "f- off" too? How does that help the situation? It doesn't, it just makes aD an even worse place to be at... Downward spiral >.>

Wtf.

Edited to make my statement clear to who it is aimed at.

 

jack, if you'll notice, i said i changed my email. i didn't give the finger to dRD. nothing's permanent.

but when someone takes the internet seriously, it's time for a hiatus.

 

Haha, well that's alright then. Don't worry Brandon, I'm not pissed at you, just generally think this place has "had its chips".

And who may that someone be? You, I, Or maybe the subject (person) in question, who went on a cross-forum, cross-thread rampage about how his buddy was banned from this site and then continues to litter the forum with sour words?

I hate to play devil's advocate, but ya know.

 

Auslander has a valid point, too many people in these forums now, that argue about every little minor detail about every little thing.

Maybe you should make a "NO FANBOY RULE".

Bye Auslander

Peace

 

Jack, just admit you know i'm dead-sexy.

and damn, what's with the people wishing me goodbye? if i feel like i'm missed, there's no way i can stay gone forever. >.<

 

You're dead sexy. And sorry, I know if we were to have a conversation about this it wouldn't be public anyway.

Get that ass of yours on Msn some time, though ;-)

 

msn is for <insert negative racial stereotype here>. get back in the kitchen.

 

Eugh, you're a "<insert negative racial stereotype here>"

And how can I if it's still down? >.<

 

I am wondering the same thing about gerry1, I almost posted this exact question when I saw went to reply to his "I am back" thread only to find out he had been banned. The only reason I didn't create such a thread was that a cloud of fear drop over me.

I too would like an answer, but if thats not going to happen then I dunno what to say.

@Aus,

Hopefully this isn't a "perm" vacation. I have taken breaks from aD too.

I simply just set an email filter that deletes anything coming from Afterdawn, which I just as simply later remove when I want to hear from the forum again.

Peace

 

jack, the old kitchen is still up and kicking.

hi, smith.

 

Sometimes just living is an act of courage. (Gerry and Ireland know
only too well what I am talking about.) They experience more
emotional and physical pain in a day than most people do in a life.
Their dignity is at the end of a very raw nerve.
May those of you who do not understand this never come to understand
it by personal experience. I would not wish that on my worst enemy.
I have learned much from some very nice people on this site. For
that I wish to say thank you.
However I can not in good conscience remain a member. I will be sad
to leave, but please close my account.

edit- please don't close my account for now.

 

Bye aus good luck

 

I'm off for the night, but I'll be there if you are

 

Guess I will do what I am best at, play devil's advocate

Why does it see so many members have been throwing piss fits over the damn internet? This is a tech forum, but it honestly seems some people rely on aD as their only way to socialize with other people...which is a bit sad. Yeah we all have friends here, but why is there so much bitching and crying? If you don't like the atmosphere or the rules, pm those you are friends with, give them your msn addy and let it be. How hard is it to not log on? Why make threads about how you want your account deactivated?? If you want it deactivated pm a person who can make it happen! Is it you are looking for sympathy or validate your role on the site? Jeez

This was meant to be general, not based at any particular member.

Later Aus, you are a good person with a bright mind...best of luck.
