arrrrg someone ccrap. through a hole in my roof :x

lol :P lol :P


So, about 3 weeks ago, one or more of the mods decided to move all of Armchair's "my new house adventure" threads to The Lounge. I don't think I've seen any new posts from armchair from that day forward.

Good to know. Maybe he'll come back one day when we least expect it!

Why? (And that was not meant to be critical, just curiosity)

Because they weren't neighborhood-specific and their sole purpose seemed to be chattiness, and that's what the Lounge board is meant for.

Given that he now seems to no longer post here after that action was taken, in hindsight, would that same decision still have been made?

Chris, here's a shortcut to catch up on his more than 2000 posts.
You'll be in a better position to talk about what was appropriate if you dive in for yourself.
I still think we should have given him his own board for his landlording/renovation misadventures. . . the guy clearly had admirers as well as people he drove to distraction.

I noticed he was getting hammered. It probably hurt his feelings a little....
just a theory.

i gotta agree with that.

when the karma debacle was going on. i would give him positive karma at every opportunity
but it did no good. i'd come back the next day and his karma would go right back to like negative 40 or something

that ain't right...

one more shout out to armchair... please return!

hey guys thanks for all the love <3.

just been very busy with work and the new house.

update. someone got jack in the new building, I put in some new locks and camera's.

more violations stupid city gave me from the old landlord. which i fix but they arent showing it on their side.

garage guy complained that my garbage was on his property lol, (its by the tree and the tree is within my side. but to cause less trouble i moved it to other side of my property.

I hope to come back to post full time once, i get all my stuff settled. maybe during winter time .

It is just your imagination, as this is in no way only a recent trend.

I would say that it's cyclical. Everyone once in a while, some new people show up who feel the need to expose the rest of us to The Truth, because the Internet is Serious Business. Other people tell them to chill out, and they reply in kind. Eventually they move on/give up/blend in/stop caring, and we start the cycle anew.
