Gator was the reason I left after his "it's the Joooooooooooooooooos" rants! That and I noticed well known posters were disappearing. Frank was kind enough to PM me to this site.
Thanx Frank if you're lurking!
Well...for me, I crossed swords with him in an anti-smoking nazi thread, ......he was death on that, then the ronulans, then one day I woke up and all of the posters (specifically Frank) that I enjoyed reading were simply gone.......I posted a one-liner about it, and got a PM from either Sarasota, or Shade about this place, and the rest is history.
I never went back to check, but I don't think I ever got banned......my account disappeared when the board crashed and burned shortly after that......
