What happened to the BLM thread?

Went to supper, came back, it was gone.
Why did it disappear?

My Gavin Newsome thread is gone as well, guess we are being censored.

I guess this would be a good start back.

A statue of a BLM member was put up where the other statue had been, illegally at night.
That statue was removed by the Bristol City Council and placed in storage. They are waiting for the sculptor to either donate the statue to a museum, or to pick it up for personal use.

So is my RNC Capacity Cap thread. I don't think we're being censored. I think posters were violating rules. Since we just got rid of BoytonBro's 4th iteration last week, the moderators are probably being cautious.

I think if we stay with the gist of those threads, posting with links, and leave out the derisive commentary, we should be good.

Funny how every username he used was registered at least 4 years ago.

No. BoytonBro registered his new username the day he'd start posting & was averaging 10-15 posts/day - at least that's true for ABBGMTTB, bmac911, whatever the other was, FLhurricane, & jjohnson 94.

When you post, look under your username, it shows when you registered. I was going by the dates under the usernames he used. Don't remember FLhurricane.
Some were dated as much as 10 years ago.

The ones I mentioned were all the latest registrations on the member list at the time he was trolling - pretending to be a new member, complimenting the layout of the site, then targeting members, then insults. Since he was last kicked off, LostinBardo was the latest member (who's never posted) & then trey_merrill showed up today (not saying he's a troll.) Guess he had a lot of usernames ready to go at any time. Hope he's gone for good now.

I saw them too, BB's accounts were all brand new recently registered handles.

I can only ask how did he get the dates under his user name to show from 2010 to 2014?
porkchop, yours shows you joined 11-9-2004. Is that when you joined?

We can all see the same stats, and most of the handles BB was accused of returning under all had fresh registration dates. That's why some people were immediately suspicious of the newbie's identity. Those accounts (well, except Boyton's actual handle) have since been deleted and no longer appear in the Members List.

We're spending way too much time on Boyton Brother!
When he returned, he refused to use Boyton Brother. Don't know why. When asked, he said he didn't want to "bother Rowland" to reset his password. He said he was never banned. If that's true, "BoytonBrother" would still show in the member list & he could've used it again had he contacted Rowland for a new password.
He didn't. He made up new names - always showing as the newest Peach Bud - pretending to be some new member until he got caught. That username would be deleted from the member list along w/all the posts. He would make up a new username the very next day until he was detected & deleted. That went on for about 6 weeks & at least that many names - jjohnson99 or something like that was his last one.
Cagey just used his old account - guess he'd never been banned & didn't need to re-activate it through Rowland. He also didn't pretend to be a newbie as BB did.

Yeah, I never even realized he had stopped posting or that there was a problem until all of the newbie accounts surfaced.
His original account is still active, I'm still not sure what all the drama was about, or why we are mining user stats.

I'm still not sure what all the drama was about
The drama was because some Peach Bud showed up & posted in every single thread multiple times. Literally, every other post was from the new user. It was like someone had beamed down & just had to answer every single post in the forum & after a few warm ups, he got provocative - going after people he must've remembered. All it took was looking at the member list to see he'd posted more posts in 2 days than some 10 yr members have posted in their entire history. He'd repeat it. Not once but 6 times. It was dramatic because he went after people - insulting, name calling, etc. He was 1st thought to be Muleman returned, but he admitted to being BB after about the 4th time & refused to use that name.
Obviously, the TofS were being violated, members were getting pms from moderators, & it stopped being fun. That's the drama.

Yeah, I saw most of that, I just meant what his deal was. Some people have too much time on their hands 😉

Don't know. It was a creepy obsession. Followed by Cagey & his venom. As a lot of us posted, we were on the verge of just saying "enough, we don't need this."

I guess this would be a good start back.

A statue of St. Jude was taken down in San Francisco. Lots going on these days.
I had worthwhile stuff to contribute under the removed thread such as the reparations Asheville, NC granted BLM. We may not agree with moderator decisions, but just like in sports, the refs make decisions and they have the authority to do that.

No way! Are you telling me that Slobovich Stroganoff was BoytonBrother? He should get a medal from the Yugoslavian Disinformation Bureau. Masterful subterfuge.
Mr. Rabbit, you may be suffering from heat confusion. You were the one who asked if he was Muleman & he said no. You said you never knew Muleman to lie so you then agreed w/others it was BB. Frankly, I think Muleman moved on & hasn't given HTW a thought since he left.

To put it mildly
Heat confusion also evident b//c BntnBrthr>cagey imo is being mixed up w/skydog32103 -
He was the one imo, not BB/c, who was muleman1994 loser - always acting like a dick like being obsessed w/BigV & generally coming here to win the toolhead award - which he damn-sure did -
BB/c’s posts were nothing like his - MM1994>SD32103 was an obvious troll - he made no bones about it
But yes, the bottomfeeders are gone & now that.the BLM thread is back, hope to see posts on that subject
