fyi...i was banned too from fbo not really gonna lie about it. I used swear words not here though and after the rules were posted i pushed back a little...i was a member since 2001. im not gonna blame anyone but myself because i knew i had it coming. before i was banned i had some good exchanges with tobers...he seemed like a pretty open guy if you didnt get nasty with him. ive been around for 64 years today and know i messed up a bit. life goes on.

while i didnt agree in the beginning i understand somethings now. he was a young kid doing what he was told to do. from what he said to me i know he wasn't the guy that was calling the shots sad really i liked his articles. i think honestly if a guy were to ask him questions now he would respond because nobody has heard from his since the beginning of april...i dont know for sure if he was fired or quit because i would have quit seeing the nasty he took...he has been very quiet for the last month or more from what i have saw looking at his profile from the other site even on here i would expect something from him...even nothing from him on the other site since the beginning of april...he talked to me about quiting even before i was banned.

im surprised he hasn't commented yet pretty sure he has looked at this website. glad i dont get to see the things posted about myself like what is posted about him pretty hard to swallow...i think there was more to the story then this guy let others know...he seemed pretty frustrated

i will say this though that the members here are funny and hilarios just like i remember. in my honest opinion if the members here want to start trouble with fbo they should have probably used different screen names because i dont think joan and davis will take the jabbing too much longer before the delete button comes out...honestly why doesnt one just delete their profile from fbo if this is the new place? why the games or was tobers on the right tract? the negaitves talking about tobers means he pissed off the problem and the problem will be here...just some words from an old man for whatever its worth

it is humorous to me that guys will admit that they tried or are trying to piss off the mods at fbo and are still members of that website doesn't make sense to me. i am not pissed because i was banned for breaking the rules i should have known better as a grown man.

vollmer great website and hoping the best for you.

Getting banned because of profanity wasn't what caused the unrest. It was the inconsistent banning and deleting. clearly Toby didn't know how to be a moderator. You need to have managerial skills to make sure everyone stays somewhat happy. There are plenty of sites that automatically replace profanity. Hell, you can even type a website in if it isn't a sponsor so there's always key words member use "Save big money store" etc etc. On top of that, the hypocrisy of avatars to their merchandise. One was ok, one was not. In the end, the functionality of the site itself was terrible. They were lazy. If they had updated anything instead of just using patches, it may have kept the site alive.

So so the fact that you were banned because you used profanity made Toby's job that much easier. It was the members he banned for little to no flagrant actions. I don't care if the words on this site hurt Toby's feelings. He's a grown man too and he can sleep in the bed he made.

End of rant.

This is just pure awesomeness. Does this qualify as the first NDA epic Gold thread?

It may be the inaugural epic gold thread. I've seen that video with different captions and every time it's hilarious.

i understand what you are saying. if i knew how to post the pms he sent to me i would. from what i saw he did not comment about the avatars he didnt even mention them in any post, like i said from what i saw. he was moreso about the swearing and others attacking one another from what i remember.

i questioned his tactics but my son told me, actually laughed, that its about time someone stood up and said something..told me dad, get off the internet and lets go fishing so i did.

yes he made his bed, he is gone from fbo so what is the problem now? what is the problem now on fbo? i hope i can get back on, i loved that website. i am sending an apology to joan or davis for my f up.

you poke the bear he bites, simple concept. you ask the wrong questions you get the wrong answers, you show courtesy you get it back, but what do i know.

i am in no way shape or form defending toby, just thinking out loud that maybe he should be here to talk a bit. Let's invite old tobers over if he has the balls to do so...i am curious and my ears are open.

I I know what you're saying, but Toby had the choice of whether to drink the koolaid or not. It's not like they're paying him big money, so he must have wanted that "badge" feeling to start with. He just got in way over his head. That's my take.

It's a free country so he can wander over here if he wants. Acceptance is also a freedom. In a way, we need to thank him because out of the ashes rose NDA.

You should write some sort of poem.

Ha well lets start by putting up a real plane in there.

 

[buddyfishing226]

it's great to have you back, Tim! Mule numbers are up. Can't wait to hear of your exploits this fall!!

LOL - Nope I'm not Tim! But I do know that person.

This was done all in good fun. Glad y'all like it.

 

[svnmag]

Sadly. I believe my plane has a much closer kinship to ashes. This may very well change as the gay catches on.

I'm pretty sure I saw this Tim in person at a gas station register in Minot a few years ago. I was running late and debated hard about an introduction. I DID get a good "WTF look" upon third eye contact.

 

[Kentucky Windage]

Priceless. Nicely done on the hitler reacts! Anyone brave enough to post it over there?

Classic.
I met Tim a few times great guy

 

[SDMF]

I thought about meeting Tim, but then I couldn't decide.

Yup know fishing buddy is going down when the elk and moose lotto has been in progress for almost two days and noone has mentioned it

Did you like the time I posted AC/DC TNT in your honor during a valiant battle with Queercy? You never acknowledged and it sort of skinned my feelers. I don't believe you'd have an alter ego in which I'm in "conflict". I know there's a few of those...Sad really. It should be against the law to have multiple code names.

SERIOUSLY?! Holy eff these damn boxes

My apologies svn, certainly did not mean to skin your feelers. I have not mastered the art of complete comprehension of your posts that are free from the normal constraints most follow when posting. And some times I am just slow on the uptake. No disrespect intended.
