Went to the old new GBO
« on: January 16, 2022, 01:46:39 PM »
Went over there, and actually logged in, to find some web pages I knew I had pasted over there.
They were pages on best frying pans, with actual comparison tests. I went there because today  I tried and spent a lot of time but no matter what search terms I used, now on google all I got was the same crap sites with links to prices on Amazon.

Any way , I was amazed that in just 2019 the category for food and such, had 5 pages of threads, I can only imagine how many pages other title topics had, how times have changed.
I sent Conan a personal message about the new old GBOR.
I miss the exchanges we had on food, and food places in the Twin Cities. :(

What does that mean? What would he be pissed about? Did something happen I'm not aware of?

Quite simple. Argent openly threatened Conan. Conan complains. Argent shortly after becomes a moderator. Conan disappears. I had nothing to do with this. Don’t shoot the messenger.

Is Conan dead?
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

I sure don't have any recollection of that series of events. Not saying it didn't happen, just I don't remember it. If Conan reported anything to me I'd have looked to see if any rules were violated and if so taken action. I don't remember doing that but hey I'm old and the old memory ain't what it once was.

Argent was a moderator but ONLY of one forum initially and never had any mod authority outside of the specific forums he was assigned to. If I recall correctly and I may not, Conan never posted to those forums. Argent is now banned here tho I strongly suspect he is back under a different name. Who knows Conan might also be. He has used several different names over the years.

Under one of those names I actually considered him a friend and never fully understood why he left under that original name.

Argent, honestly was always a PITA but I put up with him until he violated the rules, at which point I canned him. If I'm right about him being back with new name the same will apply, so long as rules aren't violated, all will be OK. If they are, oh well, he will be shown the door again.

I would rather not say as I'm not 100% sure..

and so long as the rules are not broken I don't care if he is back or not with a new name. I only care when rules are broken.

I miss Argent's posting in the Music area, but the boy was SOOO sensitive and insecure which was his main failing.

Agreed. He could not keep his mouth shut when it mattered and allowed others to use his pass word and pose as him...
