When I read posts by pbj, I envision him to be the guy in his previous icon - the alcoholic clown slob guy, slumped with the wife beater (if I recall correctly). I found it amusing, yet creepy. One of those things that's just etched in my brain. That said, I enjoy his straightforward approach. He calls it like he sees it. Kudos pbj.
The guy in this 'poster' remind me of Baba Booey.

Speaking of PBJ... WTF happened to all his posts?

So you noticed that too, huh?
-
Apparently Jim only has 207 posts currently. What a noob!
Seriously, though, that is weird. Glitch? Self-deletion? :dunno
The entire Konkey Dong thread seems to be gone: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=113417.120 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=113417.120)

Meltdown !
I hate when people go all 'ahigh' and kill their posts. ::)
-
Really? Didn't know you could "kill" your posts, and PBJ didn't seem like the sensitive type... He's still been logging in since I noticed this.
Haruman?
-
Maybe he's looking for a job. And then maybe he did a google search on "PinballJim" and :o
-
Is it possible someone else has his password and did this?
-
Seems like it would take awhile to start flushing ~8,000 posts.
Did he lock the threads he started in B/S/T or was that done by a mod? I recall seeing them last week or within the last 10 days or so.
-
Is it possible someone else has his password and did this?
Maybe, but someone would have to have a grudge and I think we all know that would be impossible.
-
How do you even delete your own posts? His posts appear to be gone not just blank.

You can delete your own posts, and you can lock posts when you post them, it's in attachments and other options.
-

He did that himself to keep them on track- I was curious too. But that was before the mass post disappearance.
I assume this is going to be like the movie The Forgotten where eventually one of us will be trying to convince the others that he existed at all. "There was an iguana... and Konkey Dong... and... and... I know he was real!!!!"

Considering how many hours that must have taken it would have to be a special grudge, I guess.

If you look at your post in this thread in the top right corner of the post itself, do you see three boxes to quote, modify and remove the post? Maybe its a theme issue.
-
Those responsible for the ability to remove have been removed. They were bitten by mooses.

Wasn't he going to the Houston Pinball Expo this weekend?

Nope, only quote and modify. I've tried all the themes...
-
Odd. I have to make sure I hit the right button in the NFL Pick Em thread to make sure that I don't nuke the whole thing when I try and edit the OP.
It was an issue a few years ago with a few people getting sand in uncomfortable places and making a spectacle of themselves. Maybe Saint changed a default setting somewhere.
-
I have the remove button on my posts.
Prove it! ;D
-
Prove what? :dunno
-
At this point I am not paying any ransom money until I get proof of life. Last active doesn't count- Jim, chime in here! We know you are lurking!
-
OMG... a complete Ban... Is it Xmas...

OMG... a complete Ban... Is it Xmas...
nobody banned him... so, it was self-imposed I guess.

Hmm. It already seems a little slow around here lately (or is it just me :lol)... without Jim stirring the pot, we are going to be way less curmudgeonly.

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

There is nothing wrong with having a reset and a hiatus.
Unless it is Harman messing around again....Hmmm?

Well taking a rest is certainly a healthy thing and with all due respect pbj could really use one judging by his posts the last year or so. But deleting all your posts.... that's more like a "screw you guys! I'm going home!" move if you ask me. You wouldn't do that if you intended to come back.
-
...and it takes a special effort to remove 8000 of them. That's gotta be around 4.5 hours of work...

I never liked that guy. >:D

so yours would take five-ever (thats 1 more then forever)
-
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.
-
I think he lost a bet and can't say anything unless he can say something nice.
And it was retroactive.
-
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.

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.
-
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 ???

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

I'll bet you never posted anything on the PINBALL forum around here have you?
-
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.
-
PBJ can be an ---uvula---, sure, but he's our ---uvula---. I'd hate to see him go.
-

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.
-

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?
-
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. :cheers:

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... >:D

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
For some reason he left around 200 of them. :dunno
-
I'd rather have PBJ around than Ark. At least PBJ was good for laughs and would contribute something worthwhile.
-
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.
-
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?
-

Laughing is overrated. So is arcade cabinet building.
Bah! humbug.
:oldman
-
I'm betting he didn't take my advice about letting those kids in his garage.
-
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!
-
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...
-
Was there seriously some kind of blowup in P'nR? I didn't think anything odd happened here.
-
There were no P&R blowups.
-
Cool, I was just curious, since I don't do the PnR thing. Didn't notice anything noteworthy out here either.
-
....RIP ???
Yeah, you know, RIP the system!
-
I'm betting he didn't take my advice about letting those kids in his garage.
;D
-
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??
-
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!
-
Well, he's back up to 672 posts... Haruman! You got some splainin' to do!
-
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.
-
So, not only can we completely delete our posts' histories, but we can bring them back from the grave as well?
-
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.
-
It was your weecade style projects, Haruman.
The man hated weecades.
Probably partly my fault for suggesting that a weecade be named after him. :dunno
-

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

I sort of like the idea of the Summer's Eve Weecade, Malenko. Good one.
-
So, not only can we completely delete our posts' histories, but we can bring them back from the grave as well?
No, your moderators are slowly, painfully, laboriously bringing them back.
-
Have to agree with the rest of the sheep, ahem.
Always good for a laugh, Not the same without him.
-
This brings up an interesting aspect to freedom of speech. Should it include his right to remove his posts? I think so.
-
No, its not someone's right to delete their posts. This is Saint's forum and he can set whatever rules he wants. As such, Saint can make any member follow his rules or ban them.
-
Interesting dilemma. The rule of thumb I try to follow is if it's just something personal or of no value to the community, if someone wants to nuke something so be it. If however someone nukes information that is of value to the community, and/or breaks a thread by pulling out something that was then replied to and it doesn't make sense without the deleted content, then I think it should be put back/remain.
If someone has a real compelling reason, legal/personal issues for example, I'm not insensitive and I won't get in their way. I've changed someone's name and/or deleted their account at their request in the past for such issues for instance.
In this case, barring information to the contrary, it looks like someone nuking things from orbit on their way out. Don't know what/why, and if he wants to tell me something he knows how to get ahold of me.
-
This brings up an interesting aspect to freedom of speech. Should it include his right to remove his posts? I think so.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Saint has more right to controlling the content of the forum he owns than the individual users. The first amendment protects them both [somewhat] from the government having a say in the matter.
-
I think we can all agree that contacting Saint before deleting anything would have been the right thing to do.
-
I think we can all agree that contacting Saint before deleting anything would have been the right thing to do.
I would say little things here and there are fine... but when it comes to just about EVERY post you've ever made? Yeah.
-
Uh, what are the terms of service on something like that? I feel like if the board gives the option to delete or change your own post, and someone does it, maybe it shouldn't be reversed without communicating with them. When you reinstate, are you concentrating on information posts and filtering out snarky comments? Even though I work from home and am mostly my own boss, I am sensitive about what I post because it's not that hard to link back to me. I don't try to hide my identity/location/line of work. I try to refrain from immature or controversial content (except with regard to Arnel Pineda.) I assume everything I post is on the internet forever. However, the rulebook needs to be clear IMO. Add it to the terms that your input belongs to the forum after 30 days or something. forgive me if this is already covered in the forum rules, I didn't go back and check.
I'm not sure that PBJ shouldn't be grandfathered in and his/her posts left deleted if he took the time to do so, prior to updated rules. It would be easier to evaluate if he would make a quick post with his reasoning, but that's his/her choice. I agree that it's annoying to have your own threads confused by deleted posts. I generally prefer BYOAC with a side of PBJ, even though he's said some dumb stuff that pissed me off. Generally I have been entertained and sometimes even enlightened.
-
Maybe he hid some sort of secret message in his posts, a kind of covert metapuzzle. He was just waiting for us to figure it out and win his hidden fortune. We took to long, and didn't realize that "$20 cash in hand" roughly decrypts to "here is where I stashed the Illuminati treasure hoard." Fools, all of us!
-
Oh PBJ come home...jennifer misses you (can I have your stuff?)
-
I find it hard to believe that PBJ would go out on a weak note like that. I know it would be in a blaze of glory. He's just clowning on us. He'll be back.
-
Generally on a forum the TOS is whatever the owner wants it to be and is subject to change as the owner sees fit. This is not a democracy nor is it a free service. In fact this forum is probably fairly expensive but saint pays for it himself and presumably with the small amount of ad revenue and donations. saint does have the right to change rules as unexpected user activities occur. I've been here a long time now and I have never seen him abuse that right nor make an obviously selfish or unfair ruling.
Absent any communication from pinballjim I don't see a viable alternative to restoring his posts. There are too many of them and the integrity of a thousand threads has been thrown off. IMO it is in the best interest of the forum to restore pinballjim's posts given the lack of notice or apparent reasoning behind their removal.

Possible, but I'm going with the "he's just a tool" theory. How many new members did he insult and they thought everyone here is like that? Don't let the door hitcha...
Up to Saint what he wants to do
-
CT, I def. see your point of view. Could Saint drop him a PM and inquire? No need to share his response but it might inform the issue/decisions for the forum owner.
-
So with the mods restoring the posts he wanted deleted, and him not being signed on for the past few days, I'm assuming PBJ is lockouted somehow to prevent him from deleting those restored posts...
-
requiring approval to delete a post over x amount of days old sounds like a pretty good idea. as you said Saint, removing information on a site dedicated to helping others is only leaving other high and dry.
It's akin to the post where the person has an issue EXACTLY like yours and then later has a post "NEVER MIND I FIGURED IT OUT"
-
Someday somebody is going to come here and search on "burned hair go kart".
We cannot let that person go without the results.

We can't let Konkey Dong fade off into obscurity!
-
Generally on a forum the TOS is whatever the owner wants it to be and is subject to change as the owner sees fit.
Besides, if PBJ was that much of a tool, he could do what that moron whatever-lame-name-of-the-week and build his own damn site that no one ever visits.
-
Seems to me like we can retire calling it "Ahigh" and go with "PBJ" now. If I recall Ahigh had less than 100 posts or so that he deleted when he started his man-cycle. PBJ set the bar pretty damn high.
-
We can't let Konkey Dong fade off into obscurity!
Sure we can... If he wants to act like a child and take his posts and go home... let him.

I got a strange throaty prank call last night around 2 am. I can only assume it was him...

Konkey Dong doesn't exactly represent the best of BYOAC anyway. I won't miss that.
-
The important lesson here is that if you don't want to be remembered as an ---uvula--- on the internet, don't be an ---uvula--- on the internet.

PBJ was never an ---uvula---.
He is a character, with a good sense of humor.
I can think of a couple of peeps on this forum who is bona fide ---uvula---.
I'm taking the 5th
-
Well he is still active (as of this afternoon: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=profile;u=6953 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=profile;u=6953)), so he may not be posting but he sure isn't gone. Hey Jim! :burgerking:
-

Maybe not the best theme, but it was a nice little bartop that he built himself
-
Aww, I liked pbj. He was a nice dose of reality now and again. The world isn't all lollipops and butterflies, and pbj helped break the monotony of all the passive-aggressiveness and forced praise going on around here.
I'd take up the torch myself, but I don't have that kind of dedication. ;)
Edit: then again, I'm not as acidic either...
Regardless, I'd hate to see him gone.
-
I heard he's caught up in that whole mess with General Patraeus. Something about a love-rectangle?

Sorry for helping these guys objectify Tinker Bell jennifer :). I was just seeing if I could channel PBJ. Geez Jim, wot for you pack up your toys and go home huh?
-
Perhaps he wants to run for office?
-
or destroying anything authorites could use to establish a timeline........
-
No, your moderators are slowly, painfully, laboriously bringing them back.
So... How's that working out?

Jennifer feels she must defend Tinker Bell's honor here....Shame on you guys!

I haven't been around lately.....
No PBJ?
Sounds like a good thing until it actually happens. He kept things interesting.

As much as PBJ and I would disagree and argue on social and political issues, I will miss his contributions here, both in hobby and in everything else/P&R. It's a boring world when everyone agrees with you.

Well said. I honestly don't remember much of the PBJ controversy, but I do remember him giving a lot of good insight into gaming, sprinkled with a few crusty bits.
Maybe the controversy always ended up in P&R, and I generally avoid that place :)

If it weren't for Jim, I wouldn't be selling encoders here. I do have to say that as a solid contribution of his. The guy did have plenty insight on pinball, too. But honestly, I think a lot of his help was simply in his wise ass comments. It might have scared a few people, but I can recall a number of times where he was blunt enough that people decided to take a cheaper or easier route. And after he made his point, he usually would shut up about it. :lol
IMO, it is probably worth trying to restore his pinball board posts and let the rest sink to oblivion if that is a possibility. Most his other help was situational anyway. I'll be fine keeping his semi-offensive yet humorous comments as a memory.

Here's what I don't get- his profile says he was active here at 6:45 this morning. I've seen this over the past week or so.

He's reading what we all are saying about him.

IDK, I think while trollish at times PBJs contribution was generaly benificial. Just the fact we have a whole thread devoted to his absence shows that he will be missed be it positive or negative. I liked reading his posts..didn't always agree...but was entertained and sometimes informed.
Happy trails PBJ... :cheers:

I get that- i just don't get why.

I hope he gets through whatever he is going through and comes back, or at least takes xoosh with him.

This thread is getting sappy.
:puke

I imagine he is a lot like Pac-Man in the Konkey Dong side art... he likes to watch.

I'm picturing PBJ standing over my shoulder watching me read this thread, cig dangling from the corner of his mouth....

:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
Sorry, but even that can't erase my previous visual of PBJ. Anyone remember that photoshop job of PBJ ushering children into the 'free candy' van?
I know it may be sappy, but everytime I see the creepy toothless ice cream man rolling through my neighborhood, I think of PBJ. ;D

Here's my prediction; when this thread surpasses the cheesecake thread for replies, pbj comes back.

If this is true, Saint please lock this thread now!!!

The sad part is if there was a remote possibility that PBJ actually posted anything useful, then they're gone now.
I found this thread searching for his mouse trackball hack for xBox.
I liked having PBJ around. If he had an opinion, he shared it.
Make a new username and come back man. See how long it takes folks to figure out who you are.

We already have a moron that does that. Does a piss poor job of it too. PBJ may be an ---uvula--- but I respect him for not being a moron.
-
His account is gone now? He killed it or did a mod/admin?
-
He deleted his account.
-
Wonder if it was a legal situation that prompted it? Getting divorced, being sued, foreign spy who is on the run? The possibilities are endless.
Pretty sure it was to avoid paying the $5 wager that we had on David Foley's prison sentence. ;D

I've wondered the same thing.
Almost posted a few times about authorities using his posts to establish a timeline,
but didn't because I was afraid it might be too close to the truth.
Maybe his employer is building a case against him for some reason and he'd posted so much while at work it was easier to just delete everything.
You know how much he envied people who collect disability and live the good life. ;)

I belive so. He talked about co-workers. Pretty sure it was present tense because he'd use phrases like "we had a guy around here who would".
I'm on BYOAC so much because I'm on while at work.
Boss told me once that we were no longer allowed to screw around on the internet and my response was that I couldn't tolerate working here otherwise.
He thought for a bit, then said the rule didn't apply to me. ;)
-
That's right, now I remember the coffee maker prank he pulled at the office.
-
And the paper he posted on the bulletin board that told everyone not to take the piece of paper down. He told that story a couple of times.
-
I can't even remember what his voice sounded like.
-
This is a mystery all right. :applaud: to you, PBJ, where ever you dwell.
-

I'm pretty sure that the rebirth of Twin Galaxies encouraged him to go on disability to work on the Konkey Dong world record. This forum was just getting in the way of his quest to be the King of Dong!
(I do not mean that to be an insult)
-
the King of Dong!
Perfect. Absolutely... freakin... perfect.
From now on pinballjim is known as THE KING OF DONG.

Conspiracy theorists suggest that PBJ is in reality a government spy (which government has not been revealed yet.)
Also, PBJ does not stand for Pin Ball Jim, as we have all been lead to believe, but is actually code word for "Peanut Butter Jelly".
Thats what the theorists say anyway.

I was looking through some older threads tonight. A few of them were ones where PBJ had deleted his posts. It made for some disjointed reading at times. Almost like you were hearing only one side of a conversation.
-
Yeah, I kinda look crazy. All talkin' to myself.

Hey, shut up. No you shut up. No you shut up.
Shut up. Well, you're the one talking.
But there's no one else here.
Look, everyone just shut up!.......uh, what's that??
The wind?
