pbj?

...and it takes a special effort to remove 8000 of them.   That's gotta be around 4.5 hours of work...

so yours would take five-ever (thats 1 more then forever)

[Well Fed Games]

Was there a blow up in PnR or something? I'm kind of curious about what spurred his exodus.

Well, since he left but still lurks (seems to log on several times a day), I think it is only fair to speculate about what he is doing now. I am guessing he has started cooking meth, Breaking Bad style, and is complaining about WeeCades on some meth forum.

[Samstag]

I think he lost a bet and can't say anything unless he can say something nice.

And it was retroactive.

[SavannahLion]

The sad part is if there was a remote possibility that PBJ actually posted anything useful, then they're gone now. I did kind of think his thread regarding soldering irons, tips and soldering smd components was rather useful. At least Randy though enough of it that he took some of that advice.

Really, the ability to delete posts or whole threads should be removed or timed out in some fashion. This kind of ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- nonsense is just like him.

[jennifer]

Maybe PBJ was really Jennifer all along, and he's just completing the transition...

  You are so not funny !!!!

True that.  One of the problems I've always had with the guy is he rarely contributes anything useful to a thread (everything else and pnr don't count of course as they are off topic).  Removing the few things that WERE helpful..... kind of a dick move if you ask me. 


I would like to think that the stuff we say here, the good and the bad, is saved for future generations of BYOAC'ers so that something could actually be learned from our discussions.  Being able to delete a thread that's years old seems to go against the whole spirit of the site.  I suggest a time limit for deletion... anything older than, let's say two months, should be permenant. 

[smartbomb2084]

The shepard is gone and now all of you sheep are lost?

For every good thing the guy posted there were 25 bad things to go with it.

All he really ever did around here was berate and criticize people.

This forum is a better place without him.

Maybe some of the people he has scared off will start to come back.

Who wants to post on a forum where some bully makes fun of you for your thoughts and opinions....RIP

I still post here and that hasn't stopped me.   

Nothing wrong in providing some honest reality, as long as you do it with grace and style and a pinch of disrespect. 

[smartbomb2084]

I'll bet you never posted anything on the PINBALL forum around here have you?

[ark_ader]

I'll bet you never posted anything on the PINBALL forum around here have you?

Is that a statement or a question?   

I didn't realise we had a PINBALL section, until now. 

I'll have to go and introduce myself with some visual pinball questions.

[yotsuya]

PBJ can be an ---uvula---, sure, but he's our ---uvula---. I'd hate to see him go.

[ChadTower]

Believe it or not I agree with this.  I don't feel like finding a new nemesis.  Malenko tries but he's just not the same quality of weirdo that pinballjim can be.  BOYAC's community loyalty applies to the ---uvulas--- too.

Jim did have some good tutorials in the pinball section.  It's a shame to see those go.  He seems to have some sort of  manic issues.  One week he's posting a great tutorial on cheap fixes for old drop targets and the next he's spending a bit too much time photoshopping things to taunt people. 

I hope he's okay in his personal life. 

[Malenko]

I thought schmokes was our backup ---uvula---, XuiceBox was the retard, and  you are the just the blow hard?  Fine fine, I'll take the kid gloves off. Being witty and being an ---uvula--- arent always the same thing, but I'll do what I can to fill the void. Can I still like Weecades?

[ChadTower]

Can I still like Weecades?

That sounds like a reasonable compromise.

At BYOAC we can work across the aisle and reach goals that feel like progress to all involved.  We are a model of how society as a whole should be.   

[yotsuya]

I'll pour a 40oz out on a curb with one hand in honor of the late PBJ, $20 cash-in-hand in the other...

I will see if there's a mod for that. I can either allow people to delete or not, but even if they can't delete they can just modify the contents of the post to remove them. I can remove the ability to modify threads, but that's useful to have. I'll see what mods are out there.

[ark_ader]

Here is an interesting proposal for the thread:

What you post on this site (or any other) does not belong to you after you press the send button. 

It belongs to the owner of the site, as the owner is responsible for your posts.

So by default if you delete your posts you should get permission from the owner first.

[yotsuya]

I didn't realize he deleted EVERYTHING. I saw some posts missing from HaRuMaN's thread, but I didn't think it was all of them. Bummer.

[ChadTower]

For some reason he left around 200 of them.   

[Hoopz]

I'd rather have PBJ around than Ark.  At least PBJ was good for laughs and would contribute something worthwhile.

[Howard_Casto]

The shepard is gone and now all of you sheep are lost?

Did you just call us pbj's sheep?   You do realize that is grounds to go Jay and Slient Bob on you, fly to your house, and beat the crap out of you right?

You don't hear anybody singing the guy's praises .... we just can't figure why he'd do an oddball thing like deleteing all of his old posts. 

[ChadTower]

Well, we could ask him, seeing as how we all know he's reading this thread.


pinballjim, whyfore didst thou ---meecrob--- thy threads into oblivion? 

[ark_ader]

I'd rather have PBJ around than Ark.  At least PBJ was good for laughs and would contribute something worthwhile.

Laughing is overrated.  So is arcade cabinet building.

Bah! humbug. 

 

[Le Chuck]

I'm betting he didn't take my advice about letting those kids in his garage. 

[smartbomb2084]

BAA...BAA...BAA

Sheep... Yeah I called you Sheep... Hell.. LAMBs are more like it...

EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE replying to this thread is 'singing his praises'...

STOP fooling yourselves.

Who knows maybe the FBI is on his ass for other detrimental internet behavior...

If I were him I would be having a blast laughing at us....his flock!

[Well Fed Games]

EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE replying to this thread is 'singing his praises'...

I think we are reading different threads?

Anyway, we have an important role to fill now. Somebody make me some artwork of Pac-Man molesting Pauline in an alleyway...

[yotsuya]

Was there seriously some kind of blowup in P'nR? I didn't think anything odd happened here.

[saint]

There were no P&R blowups.

[Well Fed Games]

Cool, I was just curious, since I don't do the PnR thing. Didn't notice anything noteworthy out here either.

[Nephasth]

....RIP   

Yeah, you know, RIP the system!

[ChadTower]

I'm betting he didn't take my advice about letting those kids in his garage.

 

[RayB]

Well that's not cool. Saint finally posts, twice, and does not clear the air other than saying there was no blow up in PnR. Come on, was he banned or not??

[RayB]

Oh and since we're weighing in on trying to guess what's going on, I'm putting my bet on it being one of you yahoos here suing him for slander or something like that.   Evidence deleted!

[Nephasth]

Well, he's back up to 672 posts... Haruman! You got some splainin' to do!

[saint]

Well that's not cool. Saint finally posts, twice, and does not clear the air other than saying there was no blow up in PnR. Come on, was he banned or not??

I have no information on what happened with PBJ, other than it appears to be self inflicted.

[Nephasth]

So, not only can we completely delete our posts' histories, but we can bring them back from the grave as well?

[Ond]

The great PBJ mystery of 2012, Call me a sheep but I've been around here long enough to grow used to Jim and now miss his latest comments and that includes any comparitively mild sarcasm directed my way.  I tidied one of my threads to match his deletion, its all a bit Orwellian actually.  You guys don't cut it as placebo PBJs sorry. 

[BadMouth]

It was your weecade style projects, Haruman.
The man hated weecades.

Probably partly my fault for suggesting that a weecade be named after him. 

[Malenko]

Probably partly my fault for suggesting that a weecade be named after him. 

All the more reason for me to actually do so, in homage.

[ChadTower]

I sort of like the idea of the Summer's Eve Weecade, Malenko.  Good one.
