Welcome.  :cheersmate:

Oh, where to begin?  Got caught up in the "Great RN Purge of '06", floated around for a while, tried my hand at my own website, but since I didn't own the domain name or the server space, when the gentleman who parked it went belly-up, so did my site.  Posted briefly on CU, a little here and there on FR, and a local Seacoast (NH) board filled with Ronulans who will probably never "get it".

And oh yeah--moved from Cali to NH in 2006.  Whee.  Actually not bad, although MUCH more snow this year so far than last year.  Remember it being 75 on New Year's Day 2007, kids?

RN is one of the few sites I have not posted at. I'm sorry to hear about your board, but, I'm glad that you landed here.  :cheersmate:

Why did we get the axe?  I'll tell ya why--cause Lisa is a tool for starters, and probably masturbates to pictures of Ron Paul and Defender showing pics of himself with his genetalia tucked between his legs ala Silence of the Lambs like he used to in TBR.

I wouldn't kiss her ass, and that's why I got banned.  She banned everyone else cause she's a power-hungry fool who couldn't stand the thought of others "leaving" her for somewhere else.

I hope to God that freak (Lisa) doesn't show up here.  I got banned from RN  in January of 2005, because I criticized a mod in a PM to a friend.

Howdy stranger. I know you from RN and CU. It's a shell of its former self. Lisa, the RN owner, is like Lori Drew, feels that she and mods are being insulted and has to go after them in every way possible.

Or couldn't stand the thought that someone, somewhere doesn't like her.

That about tells it all right there. I left RN after getting tired of having to deal with that asshat Aussie  that wouldn't shut up even after two polls asking for him to be banned. After all this time I went back two weeks ago and found out the accout was still active so I self deleted it,beat that witch to the punch.

See, that's what busts my balls the most.  There were some really AWESOME posters there at one point--guys like BillW, MikeAustin, kirch66, MrNiceGuy, and others too numerous to mention.  Hell, I would like to think I made some pretty good friends there.

But I think the "jumped the shark" moment wasn't when Lisa bought the site--nah, she was pretty much on the sidelines UNTIL:

Katrina.

When certain nameless libertarian posters started whining and bitching about how little help was getting there (slightly hypocritical, wouldn't you say) blah, blah, blah, that's when the battle lines were drawn.  Couple that with the new "membership" rules (recurring memberships) and you see that it wasn't about political discussion or discourse, it was a way to make money for Lisa, plain and simple.  Well, that and get rid of the "old guard" in order to have a broader appeal, whatever the hell that meant.

So it was inevitable that I would leave or get tossed, one or the other.  I didn't want anyone to get thrown under the bus with me, but that's just the way it happened.

As for NCP, will it come back?  I doubt it.  I don't own the domain name, didn't own the server space (and wasn't paying jack shit for it anyway), and didn't have much traffic there to begin with after the first couple of months.

I'm here, I'm happy, and most importantly, I'm here to kick some liberal/libertarian ass.

Oh yeah--that and to have a few brews, chase some skirt, and teach ya'll I AM the best poker player in this here board.

But of course.    She will mention this in passing and at random in some thread and then make reference how we should just move on. 

The irony of course being that she trolls to find the comments.... 

I miss a lot of the posters there, but debate with the best of them at FR so I get that out of my system, and exercise the hamster in my brain when I can.

Red and I were "disruptive"????  WTF???

 :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

She'd have to be falling down drunk and smoking some major crack to come up with that one. Disruptive my ass. 

But hey, I guess if you wanna call Red being deployed the whole month before his banishment (hence no posting), and me trying to stick up for friends she was flagrantly attacking/banning disruptive, sure, I guess I'm guilty as charged.  :bird:
