    But DrFrightener is still lighting up the downvotes under a different name...

    #452 2 years ago

    K stirred crap up last year under that account when it was new...knew it was him. I guess he is swinging into another manic episode again.

    #453 2 years ago

    Im sure the mods can easily verify IP address info where accounts are logging in from. Funny it wasnt spotted sooner.

    Not sure if this will qualify as a "best of" but it sure is fun to watch a bunch of football guys argue over pics of powder...

    Being banned from TPF as a tournament player and a vendor somehow leads to discussions on misogyny, pedophiles, Kermit memes, and furries turning boys into girls or girls into boys or something...I dunno....

    Got one in the making. Hopefully, the OP will get all poo poo face and bring the heat with his passive aggressive banter!

    *** EDIT - In a great twist, the OP doesn't even know what edition game he has as he tries to charge $15000 OBO in June 2022 for a game paid at most $8800 for in January 2022.

    Thread starts with OP wondering where Yelobird went, and accusations fly like eagles, people are owed explanations, business is getting lost, people might be dead, conspiracy theories take whole pinball business down, then somehow Deeproot gets brought up, yet again we are all reminded that start-up companies take our money and leave us hanging, and people with deep pockets start arguing over morale value, 20/20 hindsight and accusations everywhere!! High horses and judgment abound - THIS is Pinside at its finest where everyone has to have the last word and piggy-backing knows no bounds.

    I have two theories.

    Theory 1: Yelobird rage quits Pinside, but keeps his account and mod shop open to continue his business. He has a customer with an AOL or Compuserve email address that likely goes to spam. The customer starts a thread which prompts someone to reach out to Yelobird, who privately resolves the situation and asks the customer to go silent.

    Theory 2:

    If you think that ugly pustule is one of the best threads ever on pinside, you are here for different reasons than me. Pretty sure it wasn't robin s vision when he created this site.

    Brawl Hall is where you should be hanging.

    *looks at this thread's title and the vast majority of posts in this thread*

    I stand by my conviction

    #480 1 year ago

    I'm in that thread and I think it's classic Pinside entertainment. All we need now is a car chase.

    Quoted from NPO:

    then somehow Deeproot gets brought up

    It was Iceman that began the Deeproot conversation. I'll bet he never does that again.

    Goodo, it validates my view then.

    No, it's more like going to a singles event and yelling "Will any of you pay me $100K to have sex with me? I'm terrible in the sack and there's several restraining orders against me but I know there's some of you who are willing to do this! Also did I mention I had 6 drafts already?"

    I think these crazy shenanigans are what keeps me coming back. I just accept the hilarity and not too serious usually. Giving thumbs up/down somehow give me satisfaction so I don't post much.

    Crazy icon block on the upvote/downvote window for that post!

    Also: Did you know you can still up/downvote posts even after a thread is locked? That seems like an oversight...

    No idea if it's an oversight. Though I believe it has only picked up about 30 extra since it was locked.

    Slightly less than what Lloyd got for up-votes, here's a contender for the downvote record.

    I actually love that feature. I’m routinely late to the thread party and I’d be sad if I couldn’t jump in in some little way. Up or downvoting makes me feel like I’m in on the excitement.

    Pinside has a few system loopholes like that. Another one is if you put someone on ignore, they can still get through to you if you have a prior PM thread and haven't deleted it. Will act like they're not ignored and they can continue to contact you directly.

    Right. Everybody’s pro move is to write someone a nasty PM, block them, and then immediately delete the thread in your inbox so you get the last word.

    I’ve been both the hunter and the hunted in this scenario!
