    Perfect avatar for that quote Cobray!

    Quoted from trilogybeer:

    Centerflank just prefers a "no holds barred" type of forum so he is done with pinside .

    Sadly pinsides censored atmosphere has run off too many good people. Even now the forum isn't censored enough for a lot of folks.

    He still gets toasty at night and texts me pics of his pierced junk. Like a little smokie with brass ears

    He was kind enough to send me a plastic I needed for my BSD for free and even paid the postage. A VERY kind/generous gesture as he didn't know me at all. It is still very appreciated and in return I have paid it forward several times because it made such an impression on me.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    It was an unnecessary vulgar criticism basically equivalent to slamming a door. If you're inclined, you're free to link to the original quote.
    CF was quite belligerent on several occasions with the volunteer staff and various members. On top of that, I just got word recently that he set the Apron of Destiny on fire and destroyed it (the Tron apron that was being passed around the pinball community which everyone was adding their signatures to)
    He was an interesting fellow when he wasn't being plagued by personal problems of his own making. Hopefully he can (and maybe has?) turned things around.

    Are you freaking kidding me?!

    You freely admit to deleting BoJo's post that was an explanation/comment from Centerflank as to why he left, saying that it was "unnecessary vulgar criticism" .....and then you proceed to post your own personal criticisms of Centerflank and accuse him of various actions, and make it sound like everything was his fault. And the Apron of Destiny? It was *his* FFS!

    What a crock.

    Yup, and that itself is your answer why Flanker no longer hangs out here.

    Gotta love when a post gets removed for being critical and then it is followed up with a critic.

    *I am assuming the critique was from forceflow the 'user' and the removal was from forceflow the 'moderator'. My comment is only towards forceflow the user so please dont take it as moderator critque.

    BTW...he clarified his answer so please - no penalty box for Hilton.

    I was just cleaning out my inbox the other day and found a 9 message exchange that we had arguing the stupidest thing ever. We were clearly both drinking and in hindsight, it was both hilarious and strange. Never held a grudge though and always enjoyed his posts.

    A source of contention seems to be the vulgar post that was removed. Since the cat is out of the bag and it's derailing the conversation by leading folks to defend its absence thinking that it was a legitimate constructive criticism: Constructive criticism is fine--it helps everyone make improvements. This post was not that at all. It was originally reported by other members first before being reviewed by the moderators and then was deemed to be non-construtive and inappropriate since it was just a direct insult with no redeeming value.

    If anyone is interested in knowing more, you are welcome to open a moderator feedback thread.

    CF was well liked by a number of members, and I found some of his posts funny too, but sometimes he just went a little too far.

    His account is still open and he is welcome to return if he so chooses.

    Really....

    If that turns out to be true, I guess he can close his "No Douchebag Pinballers" facebook group since he will officially be a douche.

    Quoted from PorkChopExpress:

    CONFIRMED. Its toast.

    Guess that says it all then.

    Quoted from o-din:

    Last I heard he was attending to other important business.

    Very true. I hung out with him at Expo this year and he told me he left Encom and gave me his new card.

    I'm sorry to Mr. Flank is gone as well. I didn't always agree, but that is the spice of life.

    I heard from a reliable source that CF was abducted by aliens and got this new shirt to commemorate the occasion.

    I like the before shot that goes with that pic better.

    Completely makes sense now as to why it needed to be burned.
