Remember when....

[311boogieman]

...about a year ago this place (OTC) was complete chaos

I kind of miss it.

Then I kind of don't.

 

[NowYou'rePlayingWithPower]

Yeah, no thanks.

 

[Ben Waylin]

Yeah, no thanks.

Yeah, I do not miss having gutless ass-hats, hiding behind sock puppet accounts starting threads about me.. trying to attack me on a personal level.

You guys can complain all you want but let's face it, I had it worst-of-all.

Steve was in hospital and then recovering at home whilst I ran the forum on my own during the "TGP influx".

Between keeping up with all the new members and posts, engaging in petty defences of OTC with those unfamiliar with how things run here and mediating squabbles I didn't have time to scratch my ass.

Some of those days were 16-20 hours.

Yeah... na. No thanks. Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself in this case.

Been fairly clean lately it seems, MM.
Couple of squabbles, but seem to be playing fair at least.
Whatever the heck that means here

 

[Monkey Man]

Glad you noticed sis'.

Ever since then you've ran this place with an iron fist. I can barely call someone a jerk wtihout risking a perma ban. I feel like every time I type monkey has a gun at my head saying "I dare you to insult someone, I just DARE you".

My bullshit narrative this morning ^

You guys are the only guitar forum who have never banned me, lol

God that was awful bro. Was that when I had the feeding tube? They even had me on a vent. And then my wife overdosed me. damn.....lol....I actually scared the anesthesiologist the next day from fucking around with my buddy on speaker phone. They never experienced a patient like me before. My wife even asked them to please sedate me....
imagine a redneck version of this-

Remember when you were young?
You shone like the sun
Shine on, you crazy diamond

 

[VonBonfire]

I thought it was funny because according to all the MAGAs here I was "THE LEFTIST", then when the influx of real leftists came in I laughed my ass off the whole time watching the battle. Sudden It was clear, I'm center moderate kinda guy.

But now the extremers are gone, I guess I'm back to being a lefty according to @VonBonfire

You're pretty far left, especially so considering you are a Texas resident. You'd be a better fit in California and I'm pretty sure you know this. You might appear moderate there I suppose.

 

[84superchamp]

I remember: page after page of the same insults and gifs from the same people, ad nauseum. Funny that it was ugly and violent but still became boring. Thanks MM for help saving our paradise.

 

[Ben Waylin]

First off Texas is not that far right of a state, I'd say it's quite purple. You just live in the sticks where you're sheltered in your numbskulled beliefs

California?, no thanks

All the people with leftoid-belief-bumper-stickers on their cars here have body rust and different colored fenders.

Texas has places so far right that even I don't care to pass through them so outside of your digital dallas bubble the world is a place of analog people, places, and things that do not subscribe or care for your tech driven madness. That said I think you are somewhat more sane than your average little zoomer.

This is true. I had one as a neighbor. It was a fucking nightmare of a fat ass live off the gov hoarder trashed never mow the yard lazy cunt.

They got evicted, and I have good neighbors now

My nearest neighbor is 1/4 mile away.

Lucky, I'm thinking of buying some property outside of the city.

God that was awful bro. Was that when I had the feeding tube?

It was when you took a break mid-January to prep for surgery, then went in for the mesh op, then recovered for a while afterwards. I took care of things from mid January 'til some time in March.

At least, I think it was the mesh op. Pretty-sure.

Either way, it was Hell for both of us.

 

[JackBootedThug]

Gotcha. I can’t remember.

I can say its been an adventure. i am happy the members calmed down.

I really didn't like all the attacks earlier last year.
