last post by him appears to be feb 5 2005. was almost banned by him because of my R.T.F.M.D. saying in this link. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/116407
nope. i was asked to be a moderator because of my knowledge & maybe my post count which was just over 10k 2yrs after i came to this site. i most likely have the highest post count on this site & most likely the quickest time to become an addict at about 4 months.
He has a high post count because he found out if you stir a cesspool, it not only stinks but all the big pieces float to the top....
Back in the day I stirred the waters so much that Doctor Shrink had agents trolling my thread, and then according to Vurbal a group of us went after them like a "pack of wild dogs."
Sophocles, i tell all my customers to always do a R.T.F.M.D & they ask me what it means so i tell them & they laugh about it. not 1 has got angry about it.
Yes but do you tell them before or after they have a problem? I would find it funny if I was told to do a "R.T.F.M.D" while walking out of the door with a new item, but if I had a problem and returned it for assistance I might not find it quite as funny. LOL Now we all remember what an even tempered and good-natured person Praetor was. ;-)
still around but not as active on pc/laptop anymore, use the damn thing too much in work and good to give the old peepers a rest!! Hey Ripper, permiggs gurnard, ddp, janrocks (yea u know I know who u r!!!)and the rest, glad to c u all still alive!!!
You almost felt the thunder. LOL! It's good that you mellowed out so much over the years. (I do realize that that staement was nonsense.) Aside: I think that it was 10 years ago, about now, that I joined the forums looking for answers to some questions that I had. I found them straight away, too. Life is good.
I promised a few pics earlier this year.. lets try and see if they will post from google+ accounts https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-el-dEzjlr5c/UxyH3dvEl4I/AAAAAAAAAE0/qc8plMeIFqU/w702-h527-no/den1sm.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-935EjLnPOoQ/UxyH5p-ofiI/AAAAAAAAAE8/Od92l7rGcyA/w702-h527-no/den2-sm.JPG Both in hospital January 22 2014 And I wondered what happened to Brandon too.. last I heard he had some kind of job in a "secure" place.. something to do with the nuclear industry.. then he just vanished
When Praetor moved on from AD, it was to help start another forum (assisting a friend)which he eventually pulled me into (www.computerforum.com). Praetor always was more into computers than anything else so it seemed a logical leap for him. He was well respected and quite prolific on the forum, but he was also there in an administrative capacity so perhaps he still is. The last post that I could find made by him on the forum was posted in 08/15/2009. I had or perhaps still have his email if he's kept it up. We communicated a few times through email but it's been a while and I haven't heard from him in quite a few years. GrandpaBW "It's good that you mellowed out so much over the years." What makes you think he's mellowed?
I'd be interested to know what some of the old mods are up to nowadays.. Neph, Darth, creaky.. even LOCO.. I know binkie still knocks about, and obv. ddp, but the rest.. ghosts!
comin up empty on that one 2old,dare i ask;what do you get when you goose a ghost? i just know this is like peeing on the electric fence.
