My minor is in computer programming so my lame ass brothers always shaft me with computer related problems my parents have............I would spends hours on the phone just trying to get them to reboot the computer!!!!!!!!
I finally understood this emotion having to walk them through the simplest of tasks
Now I just remotely take over their computers and fix it!

You had Dr Madvibe, Warham, BBB, Ultra and a few others on the right!
You had me, Nick, Ford, Lounge and a few others a bit left of center!
God, I can't even remember the rest who posted there!
Those were some epic debates! I cut my teeth there in the FrontLine!
Elvis never really bothered me and considering how many times him and I went at it, that may seem strange but..........we'd be beating each other up over some issue and thanking each other on the next post in a music forum!
He did go completely batshit insane towards the end, though! Alex Jones and Brother Nathan were just too much!

John Ashcroft too!
It was problematic when the whole mod team became non republican.
ELVIS was one of the 3 or 4 'friends' I had here back in the day 15 years ago. At the point I took over he was happy.
It's a shame how he went.
The problem was that if he was copying and pasting 10 articles a day from woo made up dangerous non science websites then that left me the two options of arguing them down or deleting them. The later would have been very against the ethos here so I found myself paying to promote stuff that I despised or having to spend lots of time debunking.
It was a massive pain in the ass especially as in time it became apparent he wasn't even reading his own shit.
That's why when he asked to be banned I jumped at it - great!

I like E but he did go bonkers. What he said to Seshy is inexcusable IMO
Oh yeah, Ashcroft! Man, I got into a few good battles with him!!!
I'm not sure what happened to E but if there was ever a better case that a black President could push someone over the edge, it was him
I'm not even sure he believed all the nonsense he was posting near the end......best guess, he was doing it for the reaction more than a heart felt belief!
I wouldn't and didn't ban him for that.
I banned him because he said 'Ban me'.
ELVIS used to be somewhat of a normal human being. I spoke with him on the phone a few times back in 2002. He has family up here in Cascadia, and we were supposed to meet up at the Dave & Spam show at The Gorge that year (and possibly at the Atomic Punks show a couple days earlier) but I never did find the guy.
I missed his last little meltdown due to my annual spring technological clusterfuck keeping me offline for most of April, but from what I understand it was pretty damned awful.

The dude in the second vehicle just stopped in and wanted to know why his bill was more than 50.00 lol.

He was posting 80 times a day.
He also thought that it was all about him, that I couldn't possibly ban him and lose that traffic.
He fundamentally misjudged it. I don't get paid for traffic because I don't accept advertising. It all comes out my pocket so if ELVIS posts 80 bits of crazy shit and things are quiet and there are only another 20 posts that day then suddenly I'm the dummy paying to spread that shit.
This was a real problem for me for a while because I also didn't want to break the ethos of the site so I ended up having to spend lots of time on debunking his shit. For a while I could justify that time with the argument that people would read it and learn shit but when he asked me to ban him I thought 'great I won't need to do that any more'.
His ego thought that couldn't happen. He either misjudged it hugely or he wanted banned.

Yeah, that's fucked up bringing anybody's family into it, especially kids.

Rothfans 3 or 4 or whatever came about after The GOAT hired a manager and the manager told the GOAT and his band to blow us off. Warham, who owned the first couple of Rothfans offered some cyberspace or whatever to improve whatever The Goat site morphed into and it went from there. Rothfans wasn't opened to compete with the Army it just sort of happened. The first Rothfans was a kindler gentler Roth site that turned to shit. When the first RFs died other sites sprung up but they didn't last long either. TCR is about the only site that lasted that kind of spun off this site. At least I think it did. I don't know it's exact origins. I was invited to join TCR after another site folded that had a bunch of Army people as members.

Well to me it's kind of fucking crazy mad ironic having a thread where a bunch of people who tried and failed to fuck this site up permanently discuss whose fault it was apart from them that there are less posts here now.
Yep!
Even when I was sparring with him towards the final E meltdown he just wasn't the same E..........the wit and the banter were gone, sad really.
Brother Nat's videos to prove a point
I will say this, I thank E every time I watch those vids, though! It's fucking comedic gold
E's posts were becoming more and more psychotic and desperate as the days went on.
He clearly viewed sesh as part of his pre "revelations" lets defend our selves against the man fantasy.
He would post stuff to prove points he hadn't read to support points he hadn't really explained. And got more and more irritated if you called him on it or worse didn't give him attention about it.
Am sure he views banning as some victory of some sort against the enemy, am just not sure any one in his bunker cares.
In the end it was a little sad.

I'm not going to go back and read every post but most of the people bitching about the site or how the situation was handled weren't clique members or Team Butthurt. Kristy started the thread. She's not a member of either faction. I have no bitches about the site personally. Most of the members are alright. A few of them are assholes. Who gives a fuck that there's less posts now?
Spot on and the reason your quote is in my sig!
When you and I were ragging on him he was off..........E-Jesus was hilarious when I coined it but in the back of my mind I knew this wasn't the same ELVIS anymore!
He climbed face first into that whole false flag, Jesus wasn't a Jew and the Alex Jone$ supplements saved my life rabbit hole and couldn't get back out!

I was replying to Sesh about waiting for RF to die. You've posted the same old shit about failed websites over and over again like it's a big fucking deal. It isn't. Did you slay these sites personally? No. Fuck no. They died of natural causes. There are other sites still open that arose from the not so great war that you obviously don't know about. We even have one ex clique member at one of them.
I never thought it was becoming to PM mods over issues, ever.......just not me.
Other than in an open forum you and I have never, not once, PM'd each other over anything board related.......never did with Sarge, Va, Nick, FORD or any of the other mods.
Never been a little pussy that starts Feedback threads or blows up a mod's PM box crying about the mean people typing mean words at me meaningly (oh, it's a word)
The point is with E, even if you asked me privately or publicly my answer would be............fuck, I don't know!
I spent a lot of time hanging with the guy...........in your shoe's having him asked to be banned was a blessing!
Do miss sparring with him when he was 100%, though!

There were also things at DDLR that just didn't work. Von had asked me to make a backup of the site, and the forum software would hang and a backup would never be completed. Tried it on a few different machines, never worked. I think it was after the hosting company got sold, it seemed like we didn't get the level of service from the new ownership that we had gotten from the old.
But the times where we took down a few of the biggest kooks (no names, please!) that tried getting us shut down and started making threatening calls, etc, that hosting company had our back. That's what I find most painful about losing DDLR...so-and-so and what's-her-name and the other guy couldn't take us down, but that other little thing did.

LOL I'm a demographic now...
It's amusing watching y'all cross that 40 threshold... I had just entered that realm when this site was born. It's not too dissimilar to my real life experience of having been a young adult when Classic Van Halen emerged onto the music scene... back when most of you were struggling with the preteen challenges of puberty...
Not much has changed... just the numbers got bigger!!
