Quoted from RTS:
My favorite Levi rant-a-thon is when RGP was rapidly declining in activity due to Pinside's growing popularity.
For weeks he went on a one man crusade disparaging Pinside for having moderators, claiming he would never be moderated, never join Pinside, blah blah blah.
Eventually nobody was left to listen to him and he quietly joined Pinside, looking like a total doofus.
He was actually much more arrogant, rude and condescending on RGP.
He is the perfect example of why moderation works. He is a lot better now.

Ah ... the good 'ol days of RGP!

No amount of disparaging Pinside could overcome the toxicity of Frank Furhter in the end.

Quoted from PismoArcade:
I went on RGP recently just for a goof and was surprised to see Frank is still on there!

Some things just never go away unfortunately.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:
What that guy accomplished is pretty amazing - he single handedly finished what had been a thriving (if aging and obsolete) online newsgroup. The one-two troll punch of him and Gary drove more traffic to Pinside than the top 100. The guys here should pay those two royalties!

Unfortunately. Franks non-stop caustic trolling eventually became too much for me - a devoted RGP EM guy at the time - and I switched to Pinside full-time. No regrets looking back though as Pinside has so much more to offer now.

Quoted from Methos:
Was anyone able to identify him, or make a deal with him and actually met him?

Supposedly ID'd at one point, but nothing ever proven or came of it except for Frank disappearing for a bit. Unfortunately, he came back and was worse than ever despite various efforts by others. He was/is a cancer.

NOTE to Uncle Pinball: Please do not seek Frank out as a future episode guest!
