Refuge for banned users

[boomcie]

During my one month ban, people around here must have thought I was dead, because I had no way of communicating with you guys. It was a time of pain and asceticism, but in the end, it gave me the strength to continue.

It reminds me of those forty days and forty nights that Jesus spent in that dessert (or was it a desert?).

Anyway, while I was getting weaker and suffered from the harsh circumstances surrounding my ban, I had a revelation or epiphany if you must. I realized that I was going to have to be the one to guide the sinners to the promised website [CN forums]. In order to achieve this, I was going to use a very sophisticated technique called “creating another forum”. It would become the oasis for all banned users.

Despite some people thinking I was gone for good and had probably deceased, I returned to the forum. But it wasn’t the old boomcie who had returned. No, it was the older boomcie (one month older to be exact).

Like Jesus I had resurrected from the dead.

And now that I have found my true calling (like Jesus), I want to lead the way for all you wayward souls out there.

Ex cursus:
Jesus and I have many things in common.

1. We have many followers
2. We preach the gospel of love
3. We only have 12 friends
4. We like drinking cheap wine
5. We always pick on one guy (Judas/ Some member of this forum)
6. We have a problem with authority
7. We are pretty darn awesome

So what I would like to propose is an entirely new forum where banned members can keep in touch with the crop. Anyone think that’s a feasible idea?

Of course it's feasible. Activity wouldn't be a problem with DAOTEC around.

You can have all 200 incarnations of BPC as well. And Tom Morris too.

Maybe we should lock that particular refuge and throw the keys away?

What's wrong with any of the other cycling forums. I'm still member (although I hardly post at all) at probably 3-4 other boards.

 

[Maxiton]

I picture it as like a kind of Hades or netherworld. I think I'm familiar with the place from too much partying in college. Not sure I want to go back, but one never knows when the banhammer might fall. So I guess I'm game.

You should call the new forum Rock Racing

Bold. Proposing a breakaway forum right under the mods' noses? Bold move.

You should try to get Rothschild involved.

I think you already know the answer to that:

Matthew 7:7,8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Should a "super moderator" be using a cycling forum for proselytizing? I know it will come as a shock to you, but not everyone wants to be sold to.

How was that proselytizing? It's a famous quote.

I agree. He was simply replying in the same manner as the OP.

Okay. Maybe I over-reacted.

The guy was just trying to be funny...

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

He apologized. Let's get over it, shall we?

I'd really rather not close this thread, if you know what I mean.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

a forum with cobblestoned is no refuge

 

[pedaling squares]

If you build it, they will come.

And therein you shall find the righteous Jackhammer delivering blows to smite the evil Flicker and rid the forum of the hordes of BPC.

 

[mewmewmew13]

I thought twitter was our refuge.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I thought twitter was our refuge.

this i agree

 

[Cobblestoned]

....whatever

Good to know you always care about me.
I hope I am not involved in your wet dreams.

Touche!

i wouldn't take it that far, you know I like to just jest, plus you always react. It's great.

ps. if you do make a forum boomy, can you use particular forum hoster (my mate made them, and he is trying to get it off the ground etc). Forum's are easy to start anyway, I could quite easily make a Cobblestoned sucks forum in a mater of minutes.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Okay, this is all moderately amusing. But the last thing this thread needs to become is a spray fest of insults and bashing of each other, lest I get out the ban hammer and banish you to this new "refuge" for a vacation.

If you don't understand what I am saying, don't post.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I am immune to the ban hammer .
