alas, he says he's not coming back ... whether he can stay away or not is another thing though!

The funniest posters are the mavericks. By nature they're high maintenance and moody and they either get banned or leave due to censorship. We wait around for the next one to come along and pounce on them like they're long lost souls

BTW: They usually are. Long lost souls I mean.

They're former posters re-invented

PS JTL: Yes it is boring as bat shit on BE these days. I keep looking at the forums and the same boring threads are at the front with little or no movement

Thank god I've got a life

I know, massive threads! I make a bit of an effort sometimes, but soon give up

It used to be funnier when arkon was trolling the forums with blatantly apocryphal stories about the alleged traumas he was experiencing down under.

Arkon is one of the funniest guys on here. He's also had a bad run of things and this has made him see things in a different way to some. Doesn't make his experience or opinions any less valid.

Arkon, please get us out of this depression

So did I, I always laughed my socks off with his posts,

And we need arkon to post a lot more, some of the funniest posts are by the trolls who keep popping up under different names.

I used to try and start funny threads, some of them worked, and some of my threads were funny unintentionally.

I just don't feel in a funny mood at the moment, I was hoping others would be creative instead...

Or if someone could start an argument, they're always good fun to watch as well
